Description

I keep a todo list of the things in my PC for the things that I like/need to do during the rest break proposed by workrave.

The inconvenience for me is that, everytime when workrave prompts me for a rest break, if I'm not quick enough, I will have to postpone the break, check up my todo list, then manually press the cup-of-tea button to take the break.

So my question is, can workrave maintain a list of todo items for me, and shows them up before/after/along with exercises during the rest break? The todo list doesn't have to be the complete list, just 3 or 4 items will do, so that it won't take up that much screen.

Cheers,
Weiming

I have exactly the same wish :-)

Or rather that the ability to select a program which will be shown when a rest break appears, so  any todo list or similar software can be used. Maybe the position for the break window should be able to set to a distinct position to not hide important screen parts.

Keep up the good work!

I would like this too. Ideally, I would get suggestions including exercices and TODO items.

Note that at this time, Workrave does not suggest me exercises (this is reported in ticket 819).

For the record, I do get exercise suggestions under Windows. A number of [apparently] KDE-specific issues are reported in ticket 786.
