Time Logger

---

• Counts up (compared to a countdown) and allows time to be logged to a project.
• Timer can be paused/resumed and continues even if the timer log window is closed
• After a timer has been started, elapsed time is displayed live. Pausing can be used to take a break. The live elapsed time continues after the pause button has been pressed. Once the timer is stopped, the project time will  reflect the total elapsed time less the the accumulated (because you could pause  more than once) paused time. For example, if the timer is started and then stopped 3 hours later, the elapsed time will reflect 3 hours. If you took no breaks  (i.e. never pressed the pause button during the 3 hours elapsed), the project time would be the same as elapsed; in this case 3 hours. However, if you took 2 ten-minute breaks (for a total of 20 minutes of pause time), the project time would reflect 2 hours and 40 minutes (3 hours elapsed less the 20 minutes paused). 
• Paused timers must be resumed before being stopped
• After stopping the timer, the data shown on the window is also written to a log  data file within the user preferences folder (i.e.  Username-->Libary-->Preferences) that is labeled by date. The name of this file is  "CCNXTimerLogForxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", where "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" is the date the log was created on the machine.
• One log is created per date, and multiple time logs on the same date are written to the same file. The log data files are all text files that can be opened and read easily with any standard text editor such as Apple's  TextEdit.
