I LOVE MacTimeLog. It's the only time tracking program I've ever been able to consistently use, and now, after 6 years of being self employed, I'm finally sure I'm keeping track of all my hours, and I'm actually getting paid more!

There are a couple quirks about it, though, that I'm wondering if there's any hope of fixing. The main one is that if you need to edit anything in the log (which I do about 10 times a day), you have to quit and reload the program. For example, if you type a log entry really fast and hit return, and there was a typo or you had the wrong project selected,, you have to open the log, scroll all the way to the bottom of the log file, fix the mistake, then save, go back to mac time log, quit, and then reopen the program. It'd be awesome if you could edit the log in the app and it'd update the info without a relaunch.

The other thing is it'd be awesome if you could filter on a search word when you're creating the reports. I have a web app that has several different clients. I only have one "project" for the web app, but if I do any support issues for any of the clients, I just put the client's name at the beginning of my log item. This lets me track all the hours I spent on this web app and I don't have to create a separate project for all my clients. But it makes reporting hard.

If you were to pick back up on this project, I'd happily pay for it, and I'd be surprised if other's wouldn't also be willing to pay. Seems like you have quite a few users. :)
