Will you please post your hacked code. Since I can't reproduce the trouble, it is hard to test if my coding works.

Nice pops!

Dear Sigmund,

Here is the hacked code. I've restructured the first script so as to be able to understand more clearly the underlying logic. While most of the changes are not salient, you can see my old-school Pascal mania resurfacing.. I introduced, among a few vars, mygeometry - which facilitates tweaking - and sound_high and sound_low, softcoded pointers to sound files to permit easy customization, in addition to the gtkrc hack. The only change introduced in the second script, as I recall, is the softcoding of the sound file vars. Please have a look. I'm interested whether the modded code runs fine on your machine.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Dear Sigmund,

Here is a slight revision that includes a very primitive parameter check. I noted that my earlier version ignored the "-s" parameter. The benefit of this mod, apart from properly passing the command line parameter, is that it provides a very rudimentary help - both on the command line and using Xdialog.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Thank you, vovchik.

Working great now with vovchick's script.
I was getting the repeating list of time like Lobster was.

I had to comment out line 38 in pstopwatch_counter due to "true" showing up in the tenths spot.

I also added a colon (":") before $TENTH in line 40:
echo -e "$MIN:$NULL$SECONDS:$TENTH" >> /tmp/pstopwatch-clock

Version 0.5

Thanks for all input
Please report both success and failures

Dear Sigmund,

I looked at 0.5 and have the following comments:

1. Your last rev does not preserve the user's GTK style - my last rev does that (see screenshot). You need to include $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 include, otherwise the app will look foreign on any system where the GTK theme is not identical to yours.

2. My last rev also included a change of geometry when tenths are disposed of. The window should shrink accordingly (i,e, automatically). Also, you should echo - in the case of the -s parameter - only the minutes and seconds to the logfile. This can be done by introducing a check of the value of the $TENTH variable in an "if" construction so as not to disrupt the smaller window x dimension by string overflow.

3. Apart from that, it works fine, but I am still testing and trying out a few tweaks.

With kind regards,
vovchik

I don't know how you get your choosen gtk-theme to appear. Here is a picture of Ptimer with my default stardust gtk-theme. Then it shows your Pstopwatch which shows the standard gtk-theme. My Pstopwatch above with a stripped gtk-theme.

Dear Sigmund,

Here is my .gtkrc-2.0 file:

[zigbert]

the problem is that there is no /root/.gtkrc on my system.

Glad to hear Barry is adding it to Dingo
Would it be possible to add a tally counter?
(laps, repetitions etc)

[zigbert]

[trapster]

Here is a command line bash script for laps and split times.

[zigbert]

Interesting!
