All the Time that's Fit to Print

I've had a veritable cacophony of requests in my inbox about printing from BubbleTimer. I was quite the dolt not to realize that rolling up the time spent on activities into a total in the printout was important. Well... no more. Now at the bottom of your print out is a rolled up total by activity of time for that period.

You'll see this total section as long as you print more than 1 day with activities that are bubbled.

Sometimes the details aren't even that interesting and all you want to print is the new rolled up totals by activity. In that case, there is a new option in the print dialog called "Summary Only" to do just that.

Finally, I've received a few questions about how to print from BubbleTimer. Everyone is used to printing a Web page with the browser's print function. If you try that with the main BubbleTimer page... well, let's just say the junk that will spew from your printer is not so great. To get your time formated into the nicely printable format via the print dialog, click the printer icon on the bottom right.

Last thing... just a stupid little BubbleTimer trick I dreamed up this morning. If you only want to print some of your activities, not all of them, you can't; that's not a feature of BubbleTimer printing yet. I thought up a clever work around though. Go into the sharing settings and share just those specific activities that you want to print, then go to your own sharing URL in your browser. Print from there and only the shared activities will be printed. Sneaky, huh?
