Hi, I would like to track my desktop [ working ] activities with orage. I can read on orage doc: "Journals are just notes. They do not have end times nor availability. It is not possible to add alarm or recurrency for journals." It could be great, if you add recurrency for journals. I would like to have orage asking me about "What are you doing now ?" every hour and taking notes for my journal. It's like a alarm, but with a text box that you can write in. (timeout for this feature is a good idea too) Actually I use zenity (--entry option) + cron + a plain text file to do this task, if It could be integrate inside orage, it would be a good improvenment for me, at least. Sorry for my english Thank you Xfce rocks!
Interesting idea. Ical standard allows recurrency with journal, so that is not a problem, but ical standard does not allow alarms with journals, so that needs some planning. Actually you might want also a script to be run regularly and results to be stored to journal instead of maintaining i manually. Need to plan this. nice idea, not sure if I can implement it in the near future.
Thanks for your reply and your interest on this idea I read on orage manpage about it can add ics file, so I can use zenity + cron + orage like a temporary solution Bye !
I think it is better to use Event for that. After thinking this I decided not to implement recurrency in journals. It would not work as expected anyway. Journals are simply meant for notes. Even if there is recurrency, it would not help to match the actual text to that day.
