[tw5] Re: [TW5] TimerActions Plugin - trigger action widgets based on different timers

[springer]

Jed and all,

TimerActions (at demo site ) 
hits Internal JavaScript Error when I try to trigger navigate action, such 
as:

<$action-navigate $to="$:/ControlPanel"/>


... Any sense of why that would be?

I added this to both the task management misc and Calendars/timers/timeline 
categories in the TiddlyWiki toolmap 
(https://dynalist.io/d/zUP-nIWu2FFoXH-oM7L7d9DM)

The timer itself should barely use any resources, particularly compared to 
the browser or even just the wiki. Setting the update timer to longer 
intervals will probably have no effect on performance as long as it is 
significantly shorter than the period for the actions, otherwise the timing 
between the actions can be inaccurate. The savings from making the update 
interval longer are almost certainly going to be lost in the normal 
variations of power usage by the browser. The analytics built into many 
websites take much more energy than this, if you want an example.
I have given up on trying to figure out what is generally considered 
intuitive or simple. I can add a quick table to it. I briefly considered 
writing something so you could give times in other ways but got bored 
before I wrote or found a parser for it.
Next time I feel like looking at this I can see about adding a prefix but 
that leads to more annoyance than I want to think about now if people use 
something other than the simple interface I made to make timed events and 
give them different prefixes.

Hi Jed,

This is great to make sure that reminders for my ToDoNow will pop up after 
a defined interval. I will check how to integrate and recommend it.

Hints after a first test: 

   - how resource consuming is this? Would it save the world if we set the 
   update value to 60
  - calculating milliseconds is not very intuitive, maybe give more 
  example vaues to copy: 1 day, 1 hour, 10 minutes
  - prefix timer tiddlers with $:/config/TimerAction/ to avoid 
   conflicts and appearance in search results?
   - broken list formatting in the licence: can be fixed by removing 
   indenting with spaces
   - typo in the .js file: ellapsed time => elapsed (only one l)
   
Thanks a lot! 
Thomas

You can start timers from your own code by setting the value for the task 
name in $:/plugins/OokTech/TimerActions/TaskList as anything other than 
false. You can manually create tasks by creating a tiddler with the fields 
listed in the Internals section of the readme and list the timer in the 
$:/plugins/OokTech/TimerActions/TaskList tiddler.

[TonyM]

Jed,

I am yet to install this, but reviewing its capabilities I am seriously 
impressed. This will really help me in my Getting things done platform.

I really like the variable resolution of the timers, for standard task 
management a minute +- a minute is usually enough so being able to change 
this is brilliant, even if it was necessary.

I will of course want to start timers from my own code, and when you Add 
another timer type that runs at a specific date/time in the future it will 
be great for project management.

I imagine if we can collect some common timer actions like 

   - a popup with link to the relevant tiddler, 
   - add an item to an action queue
   - A dismiss and start again action
   - etc..

Nice work, thanks again.

Tony
