Re: Feature request: Lunch breaks

You can create a task to go at a certain time outside Workrave.  That 
may be the easiest way to approach this.  If you use linux, setting a 
cron job is the way to do this.  If you use Windows, creating a task 
using task scheduler is the way to do this: 
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-vista/Schedule-a-task or 
whatever your version of windows dictates.  I had set up a task to run 
on a guy's computer each weekday at 4:59 and that is how I did it.

         Well, what differentiates the timers from each other are:

  ·         Enabled?
  ·         Name
  ·         Icon
  ·         Time between breaks
  ·         Break duration
  ·         Postpone time
  ·         prompt before breaking?
  ·         maximum number of prompts
  ·         Show postpone and skip button?
  ·         Start rest break when screen is locked?
  ·         Number of exercises
  ·         regard micro breaks as activity?

  With that one could define a data class. 

What I don’t know is, If there are any special cases in the source 
regarding the current three types of timers. 

  Another point is, that not all of the above fields apply to all 
possible types of timers, so one probably needs another field 
specifying the Type with the program doing things differently according 
to that type (e.g. display different GUI controls, hide some fields, 
etc.). 

  However this sounds like requiring a complete rewrite of the base 
parts of workrave and would result in workrave 2.0 or something…

   what we need is profiles or setups. 

    sometimes one needs different profiles for different occasions and 
activities like work, home , watching videos, reading, kids, etc.

   Hi!
  I think it would be a great idea to have the possibility to have a 
fourth timer for the lunch break. 
  At the moment I’m trying to missuse some features and use the 
“microbreak” timer to remind me to have a lunch break. However this 
means that I can’t use the “microbreak” timer for it’s intened 
purpose and I don’t yet know if this has any other side effects. 

  What do you think of that proposal?

  Best regards

  Michael Fassl
