tallefer / cooktimer Goto Github PK

Using the latest version of it, but I'm on Windows 7, and some programs have 
some integration to the task bar that shows progress. Examples are Internet 
Explorer 8 Downloads, and ImgBurn. Would be nice to have integration of the 
timer into the task bar to also see how much time is left.

Could you please create wiki page and put down instructions there to build 
cooktimer with a)Windows b)Linux. And I later extend it to include instructions 

to build with Mac os x.
Thanks

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download the cooktimer application
2. Launch cooktimer

What is the expected output? 
The application should launch.

What do you see instead?
There is an error message about missing "msvcp71.dll" library. I'm forced to 
search for it in the internet and to download it by myself.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Cooktimer 0.9.1, Windows Seven Release Candidate Build 7100

I am using this on Windows XP.
I would like option that minimizing window will leave it in the task bar, and 
task bar button will show dynamic time remaining. I have seen web-based timers 
that do this. Thanks!

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Cook timer - 0.92 (Portable apps.com, Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.

What I will like to see:
1. The time is is configured and I start the countdown
2. The countdown ends (gets to zero seconds)
3. The timer continues counting, until I press "stop" button.

the advantages of this feature (can be enable by another option) is that we can 
control the time that was passed since the time ended.

Great program, I use it to make sure I don't sit in my office chair for too 
long at a stretch. It would be handy to have a single instance only option so I 
don't end up with lots of unused windows.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempting to run under Windows 2000.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Error message reports "Not a valid WIN32 application."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v9.3  on Windows 2000 

Please provide any additional information below.
Works OK on XP.

Please add option control below Start and Reset buttons "Minimize on Start"

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Cook Timer
2. Input 90 minutes in minutes box
3. Timer starts at 1 hours and drops 30 minutes.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
a) Count-down starts at 90 minutes and proceeds normally (best) or
b) Count-down starts at 1 hour 30 minutes and proceeds normally or 
c) (worse case) give me an error saying "illegal start time."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Feature request:
Can the window bring itself to top when the timer expires?
As it is at the moment if the application window is not minimised to the
tray when the timer expires the user is not notified.

Thanks for the program. Very handy.

Description
Alarm looping should be configurable.

Version
Cooktimer 0.9.1

It would be great if you add a "ticking" flag to create the illusion of actual, 
physical timer.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start a timer, using any preset or custom
2. observe that the progress bar fills completely in the first second, and then 
drains over time, instead of following the convention of filling over time
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The progress bar should grow while the timer is running, and end up full. I 
should appear empty, but filling when the timer is started, even for large 
custom timers.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.3, 0.9.5

Please provide any additional information below.
I found this confusing, and thought the program was broken, so I downloaded all 
versions to see if it was a new bug.

Enhancement request.
To be able to pass a time value in commandline to start a countdown 
automatically with the specified timer value.

E.G:
CookTimer.exe 15 to start the timer with 15 minutes remaining, already started.

This is great for at least 2 scenarios.  One is automatedprogram launches 
through batch scripts, or from other programs etc.
The other is program launchers, such as Launchy where a user simply presses the 
launcher hotkey, followed by "cook" or "timer" and then types the number of 
minutes the timer should be.
Great for quick countdowns.

Is this crossplatform? Will it compile under Linux?

In addition to the above post ; I am not sure if this feature is currently 
there, but it would be nice to have a toolbar, with option such as help, about, 
settings, and so on, just like in most other programs

Just a minor UI improvement - Have "Hours", "Minutes", "Seconds" labels on
top of the NumericUpDown boxes so the user immediately understand what goes
where, instead of having to hover and wait for a tooltip to be sure

Thanks !

not a problem but 2 requests!

- to be able to add/remove time on the fly.. 
in cases we see that the food needs less (else it will get burned) or more time 
... just to avoid doing everything for 0.... stop/re-calculate/set time


- to be able to use it as a simple stop watch too (with pause option too) so we 
can track how much time we need for a progress and have it to our records for 
the next time..

ok we all have a watch in our house (even the pc watch) but is nice to be able 
to set and forget 

Version 0.9.1

Hello again,

Or what software I need to build from source? is there a project file for
visual studio express?

cooktimer currently allows the user to set the timer length (i.e. the amount of 
time the timer runs) directly.  I would like to be able to enter a future time 
value so that the timer length is determined by the difference between the 
entered time and the current time, where the current time is determined when 
the user clicks Start.

For example, if the user enters 13:01:01 for the time and the time is 11:00:00 
when the user clicks start, the timer is set to run for 2:01:01.  A 24 hour max 
could be assumed, such that if, instead, the time is 23:00:00 when the user 
clicks start, the timer is set to run for 14:01:01.

I'm a blind windows user and like your programm. It is very accessible so far. 
I can change the settings with the keyboard.
Could you ignore the tab key in the input fields so I could switch between them 
with the tab key? It works allready using shift+tab. 

I think I'm using version 0.9.2.

Thanks

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run application.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected "Ring forever". See "Ring fovever".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.2.0, Windows X Pro.

Please provide any additional information below.

Hello,
I started using your program and like it. What I'm writing here is not a
bug or issue but a feature request. 

I would like cook timer read presets from windows registry/text file and if
not found fallback to hardcoded values [3,5,10,15] minutes.

steps to reproduce: If using cook timer without audio it is easy to miss timer 
end event

expected behavior: window moves itself up/down for a short period of time to 
attract attention

source code patch in attached. 

I'd like ability to change timer options (ring forever, automatic restart) 
without having to stop and reset it.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run CookTimer
2. Minimize the window by clicking the [-] in the upper right-hand corner.
3. CookTimer window disappears (along with taskbar icon), however, process 
continues.  You cannot alt+tab back to it either.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output would be that the window is minimized.  Instead window is lost.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.3

hi, relly good program. i have found a bug. we use the timmer and repeate every 
hour and after etch hour so adds one minute more. 
so if we start the timmer att 7:00 and its beep att 8:00 netx time itt will 
beep att 9:01 och 10:02 and so on.

This is a very nice program--While working at the computer I set it to go off 
every 15 minutes to remind myself to get up and stretch. What would make it 
perfect is an option to change the volume of the alarm. When I am listening to 
music, the alarm sometimes will be startlingly loud!
A really nice option would be to have the alarm start quietly and then grow 
louder.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Cook timer - 0.92 (Portable apps.com, Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.

The program is good, but would be better if it had the option of synchronising 
with the time in the PC. This is helpful especially for appointments, where if 
it is say 1:00 now and you have a meeting at 3:00, you can set the value at 
2:55, without having to work out the time between the two events

Thanks for this great free app
