    Hi,

    I find a bug when I execute watchme.exe.

    The error message is about invalid datetime format.

    ({“The string was not recognized as a valid DateTime. There is a unknown word starting at index 10.”})

    I think the error occur when I set my computer’s configuration to

    CurrentCulture : zh-TW
    CurrentUICulture : en-US

    thanks for provide the useful application

      Hi Ken – that is a known bug and I will be releasing the version (v 2.1.1) with the fix for this in the next day or so.

    When installing Watchme 2.1.0.12 for the first time, I get an error “The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.” What is the cause?

    Thanks

      Make sure that you have the .NET framework 2.0 or higher installed on you machine. If you don’t have it installed you will get an error. Let me know if you are still having issues through the contact form on the left hand side of the site. Thanks!

    Been using WatchMe for a week now, very handy!
    I am a Design Engineer using it to keep track on various projects.
    I use the Tabs as Company/Project and Timers as Tasks.
    Your recent version now has $/hr which is very helpful.
    I have suggestions – have separate options for each timer/task for $/hr.
    As I charge different rates for different timer/tasks.
    Other wise, this is so far the best timer utility todate!
    Thanks and keep up with the excellent work.
    Mark

      Hi Mark – glad to hear you’re enjoying using WatchMe. I like the idea of charging different rates and display formats for a timer. I’ll add those to the list of ideas that I might add in a future version. All the best!

    I just confirmed today that recently the watchme timer is not calculating time accurately on my PC–I have only one timer running at a time. I had it running for actual time of 1.6 hours, and it displayed under 1.4. I have used watchme for over one year and noticed the problem only recently after upgrading to Windows 7.

    Could the problem be due to CPU usage being too high? I do have multiple applications running (including a distributed computing application-World Community Grid) and numerous windows open in Firefox, so my CPU is probably quite occupied. However, I have always had the CPU issues and did not have a problem with watchme before.

    I really liked Watchme.

    Please advise. Thanks very much.

      Hi Michael,

      Thank you very much for the heads up. This is the first I have heard of this kind of an issue with the app. I have been running it on Windows 7 for a year or so without issue, but if the timers are not keeping their time properly than that is a major problem.

      I will not be able to look at it this evening, but I will certainly look into it tomorrow evening when I have some more spare time and see if I can determine what the issue might be.

      If I do find the problem, I guarantee that I will fix it and release a patch for the app ASAP.

      Thank you once again for brining this to my attention.

    Hi Scott,

    Just downloaded/installed V2.1.2.4, Exporting Active Tab only is great! Can you add code to automatically add the tab name in File name field with time/date as default?

      I am working on a few other small issues in the code now, so I just added a default file name when exporting all timers or the active tab. The update will hopefully be released next week. Thanks for the feedback!

    Hello,
    You program is great!
    What about the small windows which always on top and show current active timer, start and stop button.

    The grindstone2 have the same feature. But you program simple and easy to use.

      Hi Marcelo,

      The ability to relocate the configuration file to another location is the top item I am working on for the next major version. There’s no date yet for the release, but hopefully in the next few months.

      I don’t at the current time, but after I finish the next version I’m going to work on some beefed up help pages, and adding a you tube video or two is a great idea. Thanks!
