Korganizer time spent

Tue Dec 27, 2011 5:04 pm
Hi. I am working in an Open Suse KDE environment since 2010. I left my beloved Organizer (from Lotus) and started using Korganizer, mainly with contact and the calendar parts (ver 4.7.2).
Being the end of the year, I want to compute the total time spent in different categories of events. Unfortunately, it seems that the function under Menu-view-Timespent only works for a single week at a time.

A search across the forum gave no results about this. Am I the only one who needs to know how much time I spent monthly or yearly for each category?

I would like to know if such a function exists or if somebody is planning to build it.

Many thanks, luciano

Have you tried making a search on bugs.kde.org?

While it doesn't help with regard to time past, you might like to consider KTimeTracker. I did use it some time back when I had a need to separate out a particular activity, and found that it was quite easy to set up and use, even for several different activities, so the fact that it is integrated into Kontact might make that a feasible solution for you for future activities.

Thanks for the answers.
No news about this as a bug.
As far as I understand Time tracker is a different product: you keep it open and register how much time you spend on each activity/project.
An Agenda is a place in which you set up meetings or activities and you can do it ex ante or ex post (before or after). I actually adjust the time spent for each meeting/activity after it finishes, maybe on saturdays. The crucial difference between a paper agenda and an electronic one is the fact that when you want to sum it up -if you had indexed each activity- you can do it without the need of browsing through each page. The developers of Korganizer understood it and provided the timespent function. Unfortunately it only aggregates weekly data, which means that you have to manually copy and sum 52 times X values (if your n activities recurred X times).
I really wonder why one should implement complicated things like the automatic via e-mail confirmation of meetings (which only work if your collegues use the same logic and do not need a telephone call) and not the simple one I am talking about.
