Last commit: [88c75951] timer@Severga: Some requested additional features (#8098)

A timer applet

README

This is a timer Cinnamon applet with optional visual and audio notifications (the soundclip is customizable) and ability to turn off the computer when the timer expires. It displays the information about the remaining time and the time when the timer will expire.

The applet lets you setup the timer in a quick manner (with a 24-hour slider), or precisely (setting its time of expiration or period of time until expiration), or choosing one of your previously saved period presets.

Installation

Download and enable via Cinnamon Settings or panel popup menu.

Excellent timer, simple and very well designed. I use it every day to structure my work and break times, and it’s by far the best timer I’ve tried. However, there is one important thing to be aware of: the auto-shutdown feature remains active after being used. I didn’t realize this, and the next day my computer shut down automatically while I was working, causing me to lose important changes across several applications. My suggestion is simple: the auto-shutdown should disable itself automatically after it has been executed, to avoid situations like this. That said, it’s an excellent app. Congratulations and thank you for your great work! — Francesco

Hi.. Thanks! Very sorry you lost your work results.. :(( When I have time, I will try to add the "only once" option for the shutdown option.

For some reason the alarm sound is very low and can be barely heard. My Computer volume is at 50% and I can hear music and all other sounds well. However, at the same volume level the timer sound is very low and barely audible. Is there a way to improve that? Thank you.

Hi. My applet does nothing with sound volume. May be some of your applications have higher volume level in comparison with system and other sounds?

LM22.2 needs to have Volume increase and longer Alarm time. and custom message and auto Restart button?

Hi, I really do not know what problem causes low sound volume. The applet doesn't influence volume settings at all. For longer alarm time, may be you should try other sound file in the applet settings? Custom message for the notification? Ok, I will implement it when I have time. And what do you mean "auto restart button"? what is the purpose and what are examples of use? I will also try if it's worth it...

Edit... Apparently you can't put it on pause at all?!

Can you please add a feature that you can pause the timer by right-clicking on it?

This applet now preserves the timer and the "Shut down computer on timer" option even when Cinnamon restarts.

Thank you very much! I tried to put into this applet all my expectations from a timer. And thanks for your improvement.
