Hi Joachim, and others
my name is Timo.
Nice program with huge potential, thanks.
First a little error warning, that I received after some days of
recording (>700kB)
familia at familia-Satellite-L845:~$ arbtt-stats
Processing data
[=================================>.......................] 58%
arbtt-stats: Unsupported TimeLogEntry version tag 0
arbtt-dump works, but arbtt-stats cant process the data.
The problem with the -i parameter:
familia at familia-Satellite-L845:~$ arbtt-stats -f '$sampleage <24:00'
Total time per tag
==================

First case shows, that -f -parameter works. When -i enters (before or
after), -f wont be processed.
Instead of graphical reports (probably intended as a step towards
endusers?) I would propose easier-to-use filters. In conclusion I always
come to think about a little gui with quickfilter for arbtt-stats, to
get an overview of the recorded data. Maybe graphical reports could be
for now made with existing statistics programs, or just
Calc-Spreadsheets. I weren't able run the export-function (tried several
times), maybe somebody could explain this. So everything still runs over
the terminal, but I could experiment about it. The point is to group and
scale the data, to generate usefull graphics for different needs.
Another improvement would be the automatic(?) separation of the
capture.log file (Maybe this is meant by "Possibly more data sources" in
Readme?). The program could save and reset capture.log periodically.
This could also be done by the export-function (export capture.log every
week, month etc.). In this case the whole record would stay intact.
Joachim, I dont know, if I subscribed correctly to the mailing list.
Please confirm this.
Timo
