The timers now support offline mode

13 Responses »

Hey!

We released a new version of Toggl. There are improvements with both of our timers: the Nano and the classic Timer. Namely now they support offline usage (available only on browsers that support HTML5 – Firefox 3.5 and Safari 4; and Toggl Widget).

That means if you track tasks while not connected to the Internet, the tasks won’t get lost. They will be posted to the server when you connect to the Internet again.

If you use the timer inside the Toggl web page to track time, then the time tracked offline will be kept as long as you have the browser window opened.

When you use the Toggl Widget, the time tracked while offline is preserved even when you close the widget.

If you already don’t use the widget, then:

NB! Offline mode is still in the beta stage. That means it mostly works but there might be some glitches.

Cheers,

Toggl Team

Hi,

I tried to install the new widget on Ubuntu Hardy but it depends on libgt4 4.5.0, which Hardy doesn’t provide. Is there any way to download a previous version of the widget so I can go back to using that? Trying to install the new version wiped the old one…

Thanks,

Jonas

Hi Jaanus,

thanks for the tip, unfortunately the depencies are not included in Hardy at all… I went back to version 1.3.1, will try again after I update to Jaunty. That’ll be a while, though.

Cheers,

Jonas

Since 19th June [same date as new release] I’ve noticed that the web version of Toggl is not working for me on OS X. It doesn’t load tasks, or save properly unless I log out and back in again in between each one!

If I log into Toggl on a Windows computer it works fine. Could this be a bug? I’ve tried both Firefox and Safari on the Mac; neither will work, but Firefox on Windows does work. Any idea what’s happening or whether other Mac users are having similar problems?

Thanks,
Helen

I’m having with Toggl the last week as well. I can’t search for a task with anything other than one letter. Doesn’t matter if I am on the web version or the desktop version. OSX/FF3

Helen. Have you tried clearing your browsers cache? Please try that and let us know if something changes.

Christian. Yes, there is an error with the search box. It will be fixed soon.

Additionally, there seems to be a problem with Google Chrome. Namely, it does not stop the task when it’s running. It shows that is stopped the task but in reality it keeps running. Other browsers seem not to have this issue.

We are very sorry for the inconveniences these errors are causing and we’re already working on fixing them.

As far as can I understand Toggle Widget doesn’t support full offline mode, however you noticed on the download page that Toggle Desktop won’t be developed anymore… Is that mean that there will be no possibility to work in full-offline mode at all ?

Please tell me that’s not true :)

Hi Marcus, Widget will eventually replace Toggl Desktop. But, TDesktop will remain available until Widget is working correctly with offline and other features TDesktop currently has.

In August we’ll launch a next version of Widget, with several improvements and fixes.

After downloading and installing the Mac version on 10.5.6 I just get a resizable white box with no contents.

anyclues? do I need something else installed?

Rudi, you don’t need anything else to be installed. Try right-clicking in the white area and selecting “Reload”. Or you can try closing and reopening the widget.
