An indicator for gnome-shell that shows the current activity tracked by timewarrior

Timewarrior indicator gnome-shell extensions

A very simple indicator for the gnome-shell that displays the current activity tracked from timewarrior

Prerequisites

Timewarrior :) You can get it from here: https://timewarrior.net/

Project overview

This is a very simple gnome-shell extension that parses the output of the timew binary and returns the current activity and the duration of it. The current activity is derived from all the tags that are returned from the timew command. The longest tag is used. The string is cut to be max 20 char long.

The duration is also derived from the output of the timew command and is displayed in a HH:MM format.

Installation

The extension can be installed directly from source, either for the convenience of using git or to test the latest version.

Clone the latest version with git

git clone https://github.com/tassos/timewarrior-indicator.git \
~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]

A Shell reload is required Alt+F2 r Enter and extension has to be enabled with gnome-tweak-tool

Upcoming features

Some ideas for extra features:

• Create a settings panel (implemented in 38625363c7c357a69418896f5ff35377abe62ef6)
• Restart previous activities from the panel (implemented in 38625363c7c357a69418896f5ff35377abe62ef6)
• Change the display format
• Change the tag to display

If you have any ideas on how to make this tool more useful, please contact me!

timewarrior-indicator's Issues

README wrong directory name

Hello again,

it's not really a bug but perhaps an issue. In the README it's written that a directory called "[email protected]" (hyphen) should be created but in the metadate it's "[email protected]" (underscore).

JS ERROR: Could not load extension [email protected]: Error: uuid "[email protected]" from metadata.json does not match directory name "[email protected]"

I just wanted to reinstall from extensions.gnome.org but perhaps it's not the up to date one. Or it does not install because of this (gets deleted immediately when I try to enable it from there).

broken with gnome 3.22

I'm not able to install or activate -from extensions.gnome.org- because of this error in gnome 3.22:

JS ERROR: Exception in callback for signal: extension-found: SyntaxError: missing : after property id @ /home/marcaux/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/extension.js:88

: function
is missing

Doesnt work for 18.10

can't seem to get it working with ubuntu 18.10

Allow settings

Use Timewarrior DOM for easier parsing

I have a suggestion which would allow simpler parsing using the Timewarrior DOM to provide the information in machine-readable form.

To determine whether time tracking is currently active, use dom.active, which will yield a 0 or 1:

$ timew get dom.active
1

If time tracking is active, use dom.active.json to provide all the details of the active interval, in JSON form:

$ timew get dom.active.json
{"start":"20170422T140233Z","tags":["Design command syntax","ti","ti.120"]}

Add a README and a license
