Re: Features Questions

I wanted to confirm that Workrave detects Tablet input ( Wacom Bamboo Pen &
Touch ) . I'm not sure about its accuracy when counting the distance though.
But the decrease I've seen could also bee because I never used to use
acceleration but now I do.

( Btw this tablet is a MUST HAVE for all the people strugeling with RSI/CANS
, it's accuracy and handeling are way higher/better than any other input
device I've tried (trackball/handshoemouse) )

Rob, is the Workrave server installed seperatly ? Because I was not able to
sync to clients together as of yet, it always crashes Workrave.

Regards,
Robin Masters

To save screen estate, you can configure the applet to show only two timers
at a time, e.g. the micro-break on on left side, the restbreak and daily
limit on the right side. If both timers are on 'show' they are both
displayed alternatingly. If the daily limit is set to 'only when first due',
Workrave will only show the restbreak timer unless the daily limit will
occur before the next restbreak. In that case both timers are shown
alternatingly.

mouse?

Workrave should detect activity from tablet (I tested a Wacom tablet). Not
sure about other input devices (joysticks ed)

Networking allows you to connect multiple workrave running on different
computer. Connected Workraves will share their timer values. Advanced
settings allow you to set the TCP/IP port used for running the Workrave
server (in case some other program is using the same port) and the reconnect
timeout and number of reconnect attempt. If a connection is between two
Workrave clients is lost, Workrave will attempt to reconnect every few
seconds (Reconnect
interval) and a limited number of times (Reconnect attempt). I'm not sure
why these are configurable at all... I will probably remove them the next
version (only port number will stay)

Thanks for your effort. This reminds me that I forgot to reply to your email
(lame excuse: forgot to tag your mail as 'to-do'). My apologies. If you want
feedback on your document, please send me a copy or post a link on the
mailing list. Thanks!

Groetjes,
