timerSyncSetup.exe v2.0.0.1 (around 5MB)
Release date November 3, 2009
The timer window has a whole new look, hopefully prettier, I hope you'll like it. You can also switch between compact (Client,Project,Task and Notes are hidden) and expanded mode.
SSL is replaced with TLS. FreshBooks will disable SSL protocol starting January 4, 2010, so we are following their guidence with this update.
Major internal update, we swithced the timerSync development environment from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual Studio 2008. This doesn't affect the end users, however this change was long time on our list and now it is finally done.
Added new filter on the main timer window - Clients. The filter is optional and you can hide it if not needed.
Bellow is a screenshot of the main timer window
Clicking the small minus '-' sign will remove the filter... |
... and you get the old window back. Clicking the small plus '+' sign will bring back the Clients filter |
The most annoying bug poping up Unexpected errors from time to time is resolved now. I actually changed the whole socket/http library from my home-grown to libcurl.
New addition: Up to five system wide hotkeys for starting/stopping the timer. Example:
Pressing Ctrl+Shift+S when a customer is calling could start the timer with a task 'Phonecall'. Pressing once again the same combination would stop the timer.
Several bug fixes from the last official release. New features include possibility to add some variables (5 for now) to the Notes field and to add menu items to the new 'Go to' item in the timerSync menu. Check them out in the Settings window. BTW, check out the new forum if you have any suggestions regarding timerSync.
You can quickly start a new timer window by choosing the menu item "Start New Timer". This will temporarily stop the already running timer and will continue to count the time in the new timer window. Multiple timer windows can be started, but only one will run at a time.
No new features added for timerSync, but if want to use invoiceSync together with timerSync, this update is a must. Previous versions of timerSync were exclusively locking the local database and invoiceSync couldn’t connect to it and because of that it couldn’t start.
This is a bug fix for the Windows Vista users that were getting ‘No such host is known’ message on signing in to their FreshBooks account.
February 1, 2008 New option added, adjustable rounding functionality. It allows you to specify a value in minutes (1, 5, 10, 15 and 30) to round the time when submitting to FreshBooks. As example, when rounding down is on and value is 5 minutes, 34 minutes will be rounded to 30. If rounding up is on then the value will be set to 35 minutes.
In the previous version when the timer was not running you had to first click ‘Start’ and then click the timer to be able to edit the time. Now this extra click is not necessarily, clicking the time will enter edit mode always.
If you are installing a new version, it is best to just overwrite the existing installation without uninstalling first. That way you will preserve your settings. Otherwise you will have to go through the account setup wizard once again.
Warning: Exit the timerSync application before installing a new version.

Official 1.0 release of timerSyncJust want to say thanks to those FreshBooks™ users who took a part in the BETA process.
"As a Virtual Assistant I was always looking for the perfect way to keep track of my time. Once I got freshbooks I found timer sync. I have to say that timer sync has made my life so much easier and making keeping track of time painless. Any time I have had a question or concern Timer Sync customer support went way above and beyond to help me fix my problem and keep in constant contact with me while we worked through my issue. I would suggest timer sync to anyone and everyone that needs a great way to keep track of time. Defiantly money well spent in this Virtual Assistants eyes."
"timerSync is what I've been waiting for since I started using FreshBooks more than a year ago: an easy, desktop-based way to track and record my time without logging into the FreshBooks site. Anyone that splits up their day between multiple projects should check it out."
"After using FreshBooks for nearly a year without a desktop timer I was pleased when 2ndSite finally released an API for the time tracking features. Almost instantly I discovered the beta version of timerSync and have been using it every day since. Goran has been quick to fix bugs and implement all of my suggested features. I look forward to see what comes next as this great product evolves."
