[Feature Request] Cusom export time & export automation

Open shlewislee opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

Thanks for the amazing app. Simpletimetracker is one of the biggest part of my personal workflow!

Since it lacks sync for the time being, it'd be nice to be able to automate export, or at least be able to select time when export happens.

Hello! Glad the app is useful to you.

Selecting time for export should be possible to add. By "automate export" do you mean an intent to trigger scheduled export right away? Also should be possible to implement.

Can you explain a bit how is it connected to the syncing?

Hi! I was thinking about exporting it continuously so it would essentially act like a DB. Or at least make it so that external tool can fire up the export so it can process the data.

In that regard, automated import + export can be (at least temporarily) a type of sync? Import sounds pretty tough tough, with a lot of edge cases.

I'd like to add that I have an automatic export setup, and I have it pointed to a Google Drive folder, but the google drive upload fails to ever complete by itself.

When I wake up I'll have a notification that "1 file has been uploaded" from the Drive app, but upon opening the app the file will be stuck in an "uploading" state indefinitely.

I think this is more of a problem with Androids background drive upload than it is with STT, so my suggestion for a sync would be to maybe natively support google drive, because then it could push/pull the CSV whenever it wants. I'm not sure if that's an easy thing to accomplish or not though.

@ygypt Hello! Sorry for the late reply. This look like a problem with google drive, it would show "uploading" but the file uploads successfully.
