Sambucus is a time-tracking application that is flexible and easy to use. It is aimed at freelancers, small buisnesses or anyone else who might have the need to track the time spent on various tasks and then report about it. Through a simple interface, the user can manage the time spent on different projects, each divided into one or more tasks. Furthermore, notes can be saved for each task and each project. Like all Malus products, Sambucus is offered in both english and french versions, and the "Undo" function is only limited by the amount of memory allocated to the application; this way the user can safely try-out features, knowing that the action can be undone.
Version 2 added many user-requested features, mainly:
- Contact Information per project
- Notes can now be attached to both projects ans tasks
- "Description" field for projects, tasks and time stamps allows the user to describe the object for reporting purposes
- Tasks can now have their own hourly rate
- Activation files allow the user quickly start or stop time stamps by dragging files to the application or timer window
- Complete importing / exporting feature
- Flexible reporting module: Sambucus comes equipped with 6 basic reports but the user can customise them or create brand new ones with the XML report programming language!
- Task Sets: you can now define sets of tasks to create automatically when you create a new project
What's new in this version:
In the export dialog, when selectin g dates from the calendar interface, the date range radio button would not get selected automatically. Fixed. [BUG]Sambucus would sometimes take a lot of CPU for no apparent reason. The problem can not be fixed completely in version 2, for technical reasons. However, we have found irregularities with the "Pause the timer after x minutes of inactivity" feature that could amount to some amount of unecessary CPU usage. The algorithm to detect system, inactivity should now be less CPU-intensive, and so the overall problem of high CPU usage should be diminished. [BUG]When entering times, sometimes, Sambucus would not allow a valid value on the first try. The second try did work OK. Fixed. Follow the link and
