Fixes in 1.2.4
The current version of TrackTime has a feature where it watches your browser usage telling you what web pages have been viewed. One of the most common features requested for TrackTime is to extend this functionality to all other applications so that you not only see that an application was in use but what that application was doing. For example if you were using Microsoft Word, TrackTime should not only track that you were using MS Word but should track what document you were editing as well.
The good news is this functionality is planned for TrackTime 2.
The bad news is there is no single way to implement this functionality. Even with the current browser tracking TrackTime has to individually handle each browser type (Safari, Camino, Firefox etc). differently. In fact it can be worse than that as often it has to handle different versions of the same browser differently.
So although this feature is planned for TrackTime 2 there will be some limitations.
TrackTime 2 will only be able to supply this functionality for applications that support AppleScript and have a script dictionary that allows this required information to be obtained
TrackTime2 will by default support this functionality for a number of the most common applications but will allow you to define your own scripts for applications it doesn't support by default.
Your comments are now required to help me know if this is an acceptable approach for most people.

You cant always control the way you do business. There are a number of things that I don't like about TrackTime that I am intending on fixing/changing in the next release. It has been my intention to keep reasonably quiet about TrackTime until this is done.
However Daniel Jalkut mentioned Event Maker and TrackTime in a recent blog post. This has caused a rush of downloads. So much for keeping my head down until the next release.
Now I have a load of people telling me of deficiencies in the program that I already know about and don't like myself. When I respond to them I openly admit that these things are not great and they will be changing soon which I am sure is not the best way of selling a product but I am an honesty first type of person.
One thing this demonstrates that no matter how hard you try you cant control the market your selling to.
Release Date 28th May 2007
This is a vital update please download and install
This update fixes a critical bug that caused TrackTime to lose all data from the current session when it was closed. It also contains a fix when tracking music files that don't have an artist set within their metadata.
