- Stopwatch is a time tracking and invoice generation application
- currently in use by a number of NEXTSTEP consultants to automate their
- client billing. It should be of interest to anyone who bills hourly
- for their time.
-
- Stopwatch allows you to track time and expenses by entering them
- manually, and to automatically track time spent on the computer, by
- simply clicking a start/stop button.
-
- Invoice generation is remarkably simple. You create RTF "template"
- files for invoice detail, expenses and overall invoice, using simple
- pre-defined keywords, such as [rate] and [hours]. New RTF files are
- generated by passing the information from the time and expense
- database through these templates.
-
- In inspector window allows you to define client information (e.g.
- contact name, address, billing rate) and to view and edit data on
- working sessions or expenses.
-
- The app includes on-line help.
-
- Please send any bug reports and other comments or suggestions
- to: stopwatch@plevin.com

- Bug Fixes for 2.5 (2/13/94)
- ---------------------------
- * Made the ClientView form scrollable so you can see long client
- names, etc.
- * Changed Cmd-k (compact sessions) and Cmd-D (delete all) so that they
- don't expose the inspector.
- * Fixed HideOnAutoLaunch preference
-
- New Features for 2.5 (2/13/94)
- ------------------------------
- * Added "Windows" submenu so Cmd-w closes the inspector window.
- * Consultant information is now stored in the defaults database and
- can be inserted into the various templates. The valid keywords are:
- [myName], [myCompany], [myStreet], [myCity], [myState], [myZip],
- [myPhone], [myFax], and [myEmail]. These values can be edited using
- the Preferences panel.
- * The last selected client is now remembered in the defaults db
- and that client is selected again at startup.
- * Session durations are now displayed in hh:mm format, instead of just
- showing elapsed minutes.
- * Added a "ShowEndTimes" preference setting, which will optionally show
- the end times for each session.
- * Added column headings to the Expenses and Sessions browsers
- * All dollar amounts in inspectors and generated files now sport commas
- in the appropriate places. (Of course for the Europeans, this should
- be decimal points, but we'll get to that later...)
