Any plans for a Plasma 5 version?

Unfortunately, I am no longer maintaining this plasmoid so I can't promise a port to Plasma 5.
Unless someone else decides port it or I get time to work again on this plasmoid, it seems it may be stuck on Plasma 4 :(

After a reboot, all the tasks are on horizontal layout (some of them even pop out of the desktop area).
When I open the configuration, the horizontal layout is selected and I can change it to vertical again.
On the next reboot, it resets to horizontal again and so on.
Is the plasmoid trying to store the setting on a file not on the user home directory (hence being unable to write to it)?
I changed the inactive task color from red to gray and that gets saved and survives reboots...

Via
cat ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc| grep horizontal_layout
you can see the value of the layout setting.
For more investigation on this bug I need info about your KDE version.

I didn't come across this bug because I always use the horizontal layout.
I will fix this soon.

I would ask for a feature (small button bellow, configurable?) that allows to reset all tasks timers at once. I could imagine that others having similiar scenarios as well.

I would prefer to have a new entry in the context menu instead of a button.

Now, I want to point out a strange bug - albeit not a serious one - I noted with TaskTimer: whenever I click on a newly created task the button will automatically resize a few pixels when I click on it to let the counter go, may be you want to give it a check?
Btw, I already packaged it for Arch and Chakra.
Best regards.

I couldn't fix this resizing bug, yet, but will still have an eye on it.

I'd like to have entries "grouped" that belong together (still need to have them separated), even if tasks are added later. And it would also helpful when I want to have them sorted by relevance.

This feature is welcome and will hopefully be supported in the next version of task timer.

I just install this task timer. How should this vertical layout operate? I have succes to get only one line to it. Horisontal layout is ok but it use too much panel space.

on a plasma desktop, you can place your plasmoids in the controlpanel _and_ on the desktop.
The horizontal layout fits well in the control panel while the vertical layout is a better choice for the entire desktop.
Task Timer does not fit its layout automtically yet.
Hope this helps! Greetings

All the other timers out there suck to be so blunt. I have to run XFCE so I can't run plasma-desktop due to minimal system resources. I've tried several timers and none of them hit it home like this one.
So if this could be ported I'd be willing to donate some money to make this happen. Please let me know your thoughts.
