News from Timesheets MTS Software: August 2012 Archives

One of the changes in the last release of Timesheets MTS was to remove closed projects from the invoice details screen. It turns out that some users of the software have internal procedures requiring a project to be closed BEFORE they invoice it. So, in the interests of making the software adaptable to different business practises I've added a "show closed projects" checkbox to the invoice details screen. When checked closed projects will appear in the list, when not checked they will not appear.

A new version of Timesheets Lite has just been up-loaded. Version 3.4.1 includes a change to the logging process. Timesheets Lite now saves the log file after each event so that the log file always has some information in it even if the program crashes unexpectedly. The other change is a fix to a startup crash that was being seeing on some Windows 7x64 computers.

If you're wondering where the Timesheets Lite log file is then you should look here:

c:\Program Data\Timesheets Lite NET\log.txt

Windows XP users should look here:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Timesheets Lite NET\log.txt
