It would be extremely useful if manic time would have Eclipse IDE support and get files and especially project names out of it.

Also, since you now support plugins, maybe you can create generic one that parses window titles based on regular expressions? eg:
rule1: Eclipse ([^/])/src/([^/]).* -> create category $1-$2 (which is project and package name).
rule2: Eclipse ([^/])/testsrc/something/([^/]).* -> same as above.
And yes, subcategories would be very useful also. It would enable me to say exactly how much time I have spent on specific project and in case of huge projects - on specific package group


That would pretty much solve the case with IntelliJ and other IDE's

Hi,

We created a project which should help you write a plugin. You will find the code here
www.manictime.com/code/ManicTimePluginTester.zip

It is a Visual Studio 2010 project and Express edition (free) should be enough to use it.

As an example there is a sample plugin for Notepad. Notepad has titles like 'filename - Notepad'. So for this plugin we just parse the title and take the first part as filename. You can use almost the same code for what you are trying to do.

The main project is there just so you can test it, you don't need to look a it.
We also copied all ManicTime plugins in the project so by default it will track all apps that MT does. Plugins are in ManicTimePluginTester\bin\Debug\Plugins\

For Eclipse just add another project (class library) and name it 'Plugins.Eclipse'. How you name it is not important, this is the way we name them.

Once you are done, you need to copy the dll to Plugins folder in ManicTimePluginTester\bin\Debug\Plugins\
Main project will go through all dlls in this folder and load all with Plugin attribute. When you are done you also add a plugin to ManicTime by copying it to ManicTime/Plugins folder.

Let me know what you think.

Andrej

I'm having problems getting the example Plugins.Notepad plugin to work under ManicTime (it works under ManicTimePluginTester though).
I put the dll into my Plugins folder, but this is what appears in my log file when I start ManicTime:
Quote:
8/11/2010 5:52:41 μμ 1 5516 5 Error loading plugins from file: C:\Program Files (x86)\ManicTime\Plugins\Plugins.Notepad.dll
8/11/2010 5:52:41 μμ 1 5516 5 *** System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information., at System.Reflection.Module._GetTypesInternal(StackCrawlMark& stackMark) at System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes() at Finkit.ManicTime.Common.Plugins.DirectoryPluginEnumerator.GetPlugins()


Does Plugins.Notepad.dll have to be compiled as an x64 executable for x64 versions of Windows, or has the plugin interface changed since you created this example plugin?

Thanks.

Yes, sorry about that, we changed the interface.

Here is the updated project.

Thank you for the link.

I tried loading the project ManicTimePluginTester but I get a message that the project type .csprof is not supported by this version. I downloaded VB express 2010 and got all updates.

Thanks

We are using c# so Vs Expres c# should open it. If you would like to use VB I bet there are some tools which convert from cs to vb.

I've now loaded everything and I wonder if there are a few simple steps for me to change the sample from notepad to adobe acrobat, save as and then copy the dll file as described in the thread.

Thanks

Sorry for the late response. There is a new version on the server, we included support for Acrobat.

The way this is done is through title parsing. If you want to do it for some other app, take a look at this page

http://www.manictime.com...v13/12/document-timeline

Let me know if you need any more help.

is there, or can you provide an area for users to contribute document timeline extractors? both the parser form, and .dll projects?
