Give me a stopwatch and a map…
September 11th, 2013 — pborIt looks my posts are as punctual and frequent as the GNOME releases… one every 6 months.
With GNOME set to be out in October (well, end of September, but bear with me) and including a new Maps application, we just needed a stopwatch…
GUADEC was once again great and Brno turned out to be a beautiful (and hot!) location.
Clocks is a small pet project, with a tiny and clean codebase which makes it fun to work on, so during the conference I decided to rework the stopwatch and timer tools, which in 3.8 were a bit dull. After a few iterations with Allan, here is what will be in 3.10
Clocks 3.10
In the video you can also see that at start up a world clock for my current location appears automatically: this is thanks to the geolocation support implemented by Evgeny during his Summer of Code and which I still hope to sneak in for 3.10.

I like the changes. Clock looked so boring in comparison to weather. I hope Allen (or someone else) is comming up with a nice solution for the detailed clock widget as well. Thank you for taking care.
However, I have one issue with the new stop watch: There is no way to copy times and laps. This isn’t a big deal for the other ones but an issue for this one.

Greeaaat!!!
If you mean improving the clocks view, then there is ongoing work concerning this named “city images support” This is still an ongoing subproject. but there are screenshots. Take a look here

Yay !!!!. Now we’re only left with making GNOME easily installable on one of those android devices from Google, and I can take Clocks for a work-out session
