There have been a couple reports of some minor issues with Work Time Studio when run on Windows 7. These issues are mainly scroll bar issues within a few of the windows, and are non critical. These issues should be fixed in the next couple weeks, and released in Version 1.09 sometime around Dec 15.
In other news, the word of Work Time Studio’s release is beginning to gain momentum. If you have downloaded Work Time Studio and feel it’s one of the best tools for managing your time and workload, please spread the word! The continued support and enhancements to Worktime Studio depends directly on its success, which in turn is dependent on its satisfied customers. Also, don’t be scared to let us know what you think. We have gotten some very good feedback and suggestions in the first few weeks of Work Time Studio’s release. Your suggestions and comments will not only benefit you, but will be beneficial to all current and future users.
You can look forward to a couple of major enhancements to version 1.2, which we’re hoping to release before the 2nd quarter of 2010. The major enhancement will be the addition of ‘WorkItem Events‘. You will be able to add any number of events to your WorkItems, which will be managed in a variety of ways. A ‘WorkItem Event’ pane will be included as a sub pane of the Activity Tree. This pane will display all the events for the selected WorkItem in the top task panel of the pane. When you select one of the events in the task panel, the event properties of that event will be displayed, and can be edited, in the lower part of the pane within a property grid. In addition to the ability to edit event properties in the lower part of the WorkItem Events pane, you will also be able to edit events in an ‘Edit Event Dialog’ which will be displayed by double clicking on the event in the task panel. The WorkItem events will also be displayed on the Activity Calendar, where they can also be edited. You’ll be able to set reminders for the events, and set a variety of recurring properties for the events. You’ll also be able to assign events to a user defined ‘Event Category’. The Event Categories will be maintained in the user options.
A new feature slated for Version 1.3, is the addition of a ‘Quick Calendar’ pane. This pane will only display the current day view, and will show the past and current WorkItem intervals for the day. The date in the Quick Calendar will normally display the current date, but can be changed to show another date. The Quick Calendar will also show any WorkItem events which are scheduled for the displayed date.

On November 11, 2009, Work Time Studio is released for download after over two years of development. The documentation is completed and provides detailed instructions on every aspect of the software. Sample databases can be generated right from the interface, to allow you to learn how the software works with actual data.
Work Time Studio is not simply a project or task management tool. It will truly revolutionize the way its users work.
Work Time Studio works on the principal of Divide and Conquer. It allows you to quickly and easily enter you workload in a way which is organized, categorized, and easily accessed. With its unique interface, it will allow you to keep on top of all your activities.
The timing features built into Work Time Studio will allow you to precisely track your time spent on your different work related activities with very little interaction. And with Work Time Studio’s Studio Bar, you will have your full desktop free to perform your normal computer work while all of Work Time Studio’s features are available to you with a click of the mouse.
Work Time Studio was designed to enhance the way you work. It’s flexible interface allows you to customize it so that it adapts to your particular work environment.
The trial download of Work Time Studio allows users to try it for 30 days. The only limitation to the trial version is each database will allow at the most 100 WorkItems to be added, which is more than enough to get a good feel how the software works.
If you think Work Time Studio is simply a type of project or task management application, think again. You have to see Worktime Studio for yourself, or visit http://www.worktimestudio.com to see how it is unlike any other work management tool.

It’s a few weeks away from Work Time Studio’s release date. I’m setting the target release date for Nov 1st, 2009, and think we have a good chance of making that date. Our main focus now is the website, and we’ve just finished integrating WordPress to this site. Over 99% of the development is finished for the product. The remaining work to get Work Time Studio to market is now finishing up the documentation (chm file) and the website.
For the most part, this blog will provide tips to get the most use from Work Time Studio. I’ll occasionally diverge and write articles for C++ development programming. In this nature I’ll be wanting to take the opportunity to write about some of the free software libraries which are used in Work Time Studio. Also, I plan to post some surveys which will help with the development and marketing of Work Time Studio.
I’m considering using the default user registration for this blog, which will require submitting your email address, and choosing a username. In time, I may elect for some less restrictive acess.
I’ll be posting periodically throughout the month, to update with you on the progress of Work Time Studio, and for any changes related to the release date. For now, check out the screen shots.
