Add Client to the add time dialogue

When we first launched Intervals the only timers that existed were task timers...but you had to go look up the task, then start the timer (a little tedious). Then we added general timers so that timers could be used without a task. Then we added the ability to apply the general timer to a task (when in doubt, just start the general timer). The timer and add time dialogue has evolved over time including the recent addition of adding notes to timers.

Here is another potential evolution:

When entering time or looking up projects we need to be able to select the client first to limit our project list. For example, we typically set up a standard project of "website" for a client. We could have 20 website projects going on at once so when entering time it would be an issue to select the project for time entry without first selecting a client. I understand that we could name our projects with the client name but that seems redundant.

It would be great to get feedback from others. Would this help you out? Would it add any confusion like trying to add time to a client without a project?

I would love to have the client added to the time dialog. I too have multiple clients with the same project name, so i've been adding the client name to the project name to distinguish them, such as "client 1 - website". IT's a pain to do things that way.

Client has been added to the add time dialogue AND the project listing. This should help alleviate the need for unique project names for each project. Here is an example of the new add time dialogue:


Thanks again for the suggestion.
