Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

The program is so good here, it's nearly perfect. Why nearly? Well, if I quit the program without stopping it first and try to relaunch the program, it doesn't restart on me. This had me confused until I did a search of "Active Timer" on my drive (or I tried "activetimer").

I had a developing crash log and so only when I deleted that file and the other(s), such as the one in the preferences folder, the program started working again for me. Even if I figured it out, that means that there is at least one person that probably couldn't on a similar system setup that I have (10.4.6).

I really want to rate this program with a higher favorability, but I cannot given the problems associated with my experience with this program. Sorry. Hopefully, some version is forthcoming. I'm spending many hours plugging away at programs like Photoshop and Corel's Painter, so I need this to monitor my application usage.

Of course, I want this program improved upon so it is less idiot-proof, at least in my case... because, like I said... if I have the problem (and figured it out), there's another person that also had the problem and couldn't... I'm willing to test a future beta release of this program. Thanks so much for what has been done so far.

At the very least, I'm going to have to watch how I quit from this program... Ah, oh well. Those are the breaks, I guess... :( :/

Hi,

Please try out the latest release (version 1.3.2) from http://osiris.laya.com/projects/activetimer/ and let me know if you are still encountering the same problem with active timer crashing.
