In order to publish my times for other stakeholders (billing, compliance), I want to be able to upload my times (except private times) to Google Sheets.

In the first increment, it's fine if the source system of record resides with the local tl-files and only uploading is supported. In a future increment, I'd like to also download and reconcile times (= bidirectional explicit sync).

Sometimes you already know about a future event (vacation, holidays, planned appointments, ...). You want to already record it in your timeline, so you won't forget it later.

At the same time, you don't want to record it as final. Reality may turn out differently than your plan.

Hence, I'd like to have a feature to record a planned event up-front and confirm it once it really happened (or adjust it, if it happened in a different way than my original plan -- e.g. a meeting took 15m longer).

Hi @JohannesFKnauf

I absolutely love this project of yours, thanks for making it publicly available!
As I personally like to split things into multiple files before becoming too large, I am trying to make it possible to generate timesheets using multiple input files at once.

I was wondering whether there is a simple way to implement this here, though it works with a bash wrapper and I unfortunately do not have any prior knowledge in Clojore nor any other LISP-like language.

Just a suggestion, don't bother to answer if you're too busy.

Suggestion 1

Detect the format (yaml vs. tl) using the first line of the file.
This would allow the use of

parti-time timesheet <( cat 2024-*.tl )

Suggestion 2

Allow the user to pass multiple files

parti-time timesheet 2023-12-*.tl 2024-01-03.tl 2024-01-04.tl 

External solution

The current workflow is

• concatenating those *.tl files together, putting an empty line in between
• writing this to a temporary file
• providing the path to the temporary file to parti-time
• removing the temporary file

Thanks a lot

Currently, the output in case of a time-ordering violation reads

An error occured:
End time predates start time. Times must be strictly ordered.

Expected improvement: The user should receive a hint (line number, content sample, ...) that guides her to the right location in the DSL file.

Right now, the invoice-report just lists all occupations as a ,-separated list. So, if you worked on a topic in multiple time-windows, the topic will appear twice, thrice, or even more often.

I want to list every topic only once, but in the order of appearance. I.e. only the first occurence should be reported.
