Usage notes 2023 05 24 - ironwoodcall/TagTracker GitHub Wiki

Afternoon shift, TG and ZS. Morning used google sheets, converted to TT at shift change, shortly after 2pm

workflow is quite hairy.
- Current:
  - google sheets saves to a nasty filename,
  - then rename (e.g. "today.csv");
  - move to TT dir, where (unnoticed by me) it was magiaclly renamed to "today(2).csv"
  - csv2tracker which created a TT file in current dir,
  - move to logs dir. Ugh. Incredibly prone to error.
- better maybe:
  - without args, looks in system Downloads dir for the ugly Google download, converts that and puts in logs dir (warning on overwrite)
  - with args: reads list of filenames, converts each, but without renaming to full LOG_BASENAME style - just dates, and maybe back in the source directory?
does not identify/reject tags in the retired list. Is this good or bad? (NB check that reading of tag lists is in util - also linesplit() fn, per #108)
- desired behaviour: let them in then let lint-check flag it for correction
has a bug which I keep changing on-site something like where tests for len(messages[oldfile] which fails if no oldfile key in messages
these added to issue #25

running TT on my testbed at home, config needs to be different (e.g. PUBLISH location) than on-site. See issue #108 for more

ANSWER colour better as black on blue not white on blue, says ZS. (Which is likely true on the chromebook but very much not, on my windows machine. Hmmmm; does TT's colour management need to test for OS?)
more command better named busy (busy-ness report)
add average bikes/hour to busy report
add [start] and [end] args to form command
- others as well?

allow 2400 as a valid time
consistency report has a zillion false positives when TT is set to uppercase. (Does cons report use a TrackerDay object? It should.)

the input() prompt squirts out control codes when use cursor keys (on chrmomebook. not on my python on windows). Can we do anything about that?
