Very nice, thank you. My notes on this:

• One digit mins and hours show up without an additional 0. On 'my times' 2 hours and 2 minutes looks like this: 02:02. On the title it looks like this: 2:2. This is the same for the active records, however there the 0s disappear when the time shows up on the title.

• I don't really like the delay when the timer shows up, but I can live with it, I understand the reason(to show the name 'kimai' in the titlebar?) , it's just strange, maybe because on kimai1 the timer started immediately on the title. Maybe replace the 'time tracking' text with the clock, so it will look like this:
  

• Small bug: If I change the start time of a running timer, the times update on My times, however on the active recordings and title still shows the old timer started from the original start time. This is also true if I delete an active recording from 'my time'.

Edit: I just read that this is on the todo: "update timesheet tables" so removed from my notes

Hey, thanks for the quick and detailed feedback - awesome!

No, I don't care about "Kimai in the title" at the beginning.
I just registered a script which runs every 10 seconds, thats where the delay came from.

I knew about the missing zero and pushed the following changes, if you want to do a re-test:

• update all durations and title as soon as the page is loaded
• added leading zero to duration units
• added duration updates on timesheet tables
• show a max amount of 3 records in title
• show only the own durations in title

The title and the active records don't update when I modify the start of a running record or delete a running record, because the page doesn't reload like when I stop it. But it's a rare use case.

Everything else is superb!

Ah, forgot about that... I'll have a look.

Okay, I didn't read properly. This is about the "active entries" dropdown ... hmmmm, the bug was there before, but now its much more visible.
The information in the title is taken from the dropdown, so its not refreshed after updating an entry.

I want to stop entries in the future without reloading the page and therefor this dropdown needs to be rewritten to use the API. But thats a little bit more work and I don't want to mix it with this issue. I will write a new issue for that, that the menu refreshes itself when changing the own timesheet entries.
