TransProCalc seeks Tcl-ers
by tonytraductor - Aug 15th 2008 13:34:27
There are a number of new features this project needs, some of which I have
tentatively begun to implement at home, experimentally, but, I would
greatly appreciate assistance from experienced FOSS tcl-ers willing to
volunteer a little time to assist.
Such features include:
a) to have an integrated calendar (tkremind?) for scheduling of tasks and
for reminders of due dates, due invoices (both payable and receivable),
etc. (I would require serious assistance with such a feature, considering
my current level of skill).
b) more user configurability of parameters such as the no. of documents,
providers, charges, etc. for a project. (these are all hardwired, now, and
if the user needs fewer than the fields provided, must enter 0 in the open
fields or get math errors, and if they want more fields than are present,
well...SOL...I've figured out how to configure the gui to allow the user to
configure these numbers, but need to completely rewrite all the math
routines to function with the new variables, and that will be very time
consuming...)
c) connection to a provider db and a client db so that client and provider
information can be saved and re-imported easily.
(I think I can work something like that in...although, not exactly a db, I
can have it save client or provider info the same way it now saves project
info, save all relevant somebody.tpclient or somedude.provider files in a
.tpcalc dir in /home or something...I could do that...again, very time
consuming...)
d) perhaps better cross-platformability (like adding winders printing
routines for the reports, and wrapping it up in a tclkit or starkit to be
downloadable as one executable binary, instead of a handful of modules
installed with a shell script, as it currently is), although, I often
question how much I really care about usability on Winders.
Mostly I don't care...
e) maybe some autocompletion feature, to where, if one starts to type in a
provider or client name, the app can complete the field (or offer options
starting with the same letter, etc. sort of thingy...I haven't the
slightest idea how to write that in).
f) invoice generation (it prints report now, making an invoice generator
would be trivial...but time consuming, again...)

Printing of reports enabled
by tonytraductor - Feb 29th 2008 16:58:03
Printing of reports enabled, via lpr.
This is a linux tool, but, I believe Mac users will be able to print, too
(maybe need fink, I don't know),
and Windows users would only be able to take advantage of this function
with cygwyn.

4 TOOLS to help manage projects!!
by tonytraductor - Feb 16th 2008 10:54:54
TransProCalc now has 4 distinct, but integrated tools:
ProjectDocs to manage document information for mutlidoc/multilanguage
projects.
ProjectAssign to manage assignments for multidoc/multiprovider
projects.
ProjectEstimate for estimating project financial data upon
initiation.
and,
ProjectOut to manage financial data for bookkeeping/invoicing upon
completion of the project.
It's a powerful translation project management tool, now!

major developments
by tonytraductor - Feb 15th 2008 00:45:27
TransProCalc is shortly to be 3 programs in one:
ProjectOut: to generate financial data at the end of a project-basically
what you already have, only enhanced.
ProjectEstimate: to generate financial estimates at the beginning of new
projects, or for potential projects.
ProjectAssign: to assist in assigning multi-component project and record
assignments to facilitate project mgmt.
I have it built, but it needs tweaking.

hacking...
by tonytraductor - Feb 13th 2008 07:40:00
Hacking no this thing is like eating Doritos...
Can't stop.
I cleaned up the interface a bit, and the report.
Added an "about" button...
Fields to add notes.
Perhaps one could put a PO no. in there, if
needed. I don't know.
I suppose I could add a field for that, too...
Maybe.
I have edited it for my own purposes to put my company name at the top of
the report.
I could add a field for others to have the option to do that....
Ideas...
But if I keep making changes every day and uploading new screenshots, the
Freshmeat crew is gonig to get annoyed, having to approve new screenshots
every day...
Can you imagine?

more changes...
by tonytraductor - Feb 13th 2008 00:14:11
My book-keeper was in the office today and had further suggestions.
So, I added additional fields, and rearranged the generated report a bit,
plus rearranged the main window.
I believe it is more "ergonomic" now, and even more useful.

many developments today
by tonytraductor - Feb 10th 2008 20:04:02
I received feedback and feature requests from a translator in Sweden and an
agency in Italy, all of which I have implemented.
There are additional fields for additional charges and paid outs (still
more could be added).
The program generates a report, which can be edited and saved in a text
file (.txt).
I added a reset button and a quit button.
TransProCalc can't yet print the report, but once saved, it can be opened
and edited/printed with any text editor or word processing program.
I believe it can be quite useful now, to freelancers, agencies, project
managers, etc.

By the way, as is common, I developed for my own use, thus, it is now
regularly used here at Baldwin Linguas (my agency).
Also, it has been tested on both Linguas OS Linux and Windows XP.
Works great!
Enjoy!
