Time Track - Is ist possible to track multiple times ?

Post by Roger » Thu Sep 07, 2023 2:45 pm

Some times I have to track times in different ways for the same project.
For example my time an a second for another person, who only takes sam part.
E.G. I have 1,5 hours, another 45 Minutes in these 1,5 hours. So I need 2 Time Tracker Windows parallel.
Acutal when i change from a task to another, time of the first stops, an the second is started.
Is that possible to start an stop multiple time trackers?
Have not found an option for this.
The Option: Task time tracking of an new task should stop all other is dismarked, but has no effect
Thank you for your help

Hi Roger

Unfortunately each tasklist can only track one task at a time. I considered it sufficiently unlikely that someone would be working on two separate tasks concurrently to justify the added complexity.

You could try loading the same tasklist into two separate instances of TDL and tracking separate tasks that way. You'll need to enabled 'Multiple Instances' in the Preferences to do this.

Thank you.
I activated Multiple instances, but a second instance is not starting. Is that a limitation of the portable version?
If so, i would try with an installed version: Trans: Backup from the portable version and then restore in the installed version or just load the *.tdl ?

As i described, sometimes on complex problems we work simultanious with 2 oder 3 Persons on a task. So i need to record their (part-) times.

Thank you for your help! Great software, would be perfect with an according app for IOS.... ;-)

Hello again. It is not possible for me to start a second instance of ToDoLis. Allow multiple instances is actived, has no effect.
On a clean Laptop with win11Pro I downloaded the actual version, there is no installer, after starting todoliost.exe and answering the options the software is not be found under apps.So how should i start a second instance / can only be done from the folder where the Sofwtare was downloaded, but that does not work.
