AFAIK, KitchenAlert (available from repos) was serving the same purposes, with all options You pointed as required.

Still, thanks a lot for this one - diversity is never bad thing :) could You please add support for setting seconds too? Or Did I miss something?

nice & flexible app
can you add a widget to it with 5 10 15 & 20 min predefined timer..

Re: [Announce] cooktimer for N900
 

I am aware of kitchenAlert and used it for a short while. I tried it in forced portrait mode, but the layout was hardcoded and therefore screwed up in portrait mode.

I left out seconds because I am not interested in seconds then cooking ;)

Re: [Announce] cooktimer for N900
 

You could create an item called "20 minutes" and set the time to 20 minutes for that item. That way you would have your predefined timer?

i loved the look of it .thanks

Re: [Announce] cooktimer for N900
 

I see. Well, when cooking some things (mainly, many types of less-popular eggs), seconds are quite important, and it would definitely make this program more usable.

although, of course, I'm not pushing anything on You. I just thing that having seconds doesn't hurt (i.e. no one forced to use them) nor require big amount of work to implement, yet, it makes timer much more flexible.

Just a thing for consideration.

I also use a timer with seconds for eggs :)
5:40min for EU L class chicken eggs.

Re: [Announce] cooktimer for N900
 

Didn't know so many people around here are egg cooking professionals :)

I did, and did not implement seconds in the latest version:

• the QMaemo5timepickselector I use for custom time settings, does not support seconds turns out. I do not want to abandon this selector, so ad-hoc settings will not support seconds
• For the predefinable items, seconds are introduced

So if you want to have your eggs exactly boiled for 4 minutes and 50 seconds, make that a predefinable item.

P.s. existing predefined dishes should be converted to the new timestamp with seconds during installation automatically.

Killed me with that two lines - took out of context, it sounds almost philosophical :) For a second, I though about using it as my signature, but it's occupied already :(

Anyway, thanks a lot for adding this feature, pre-defined items are good enough.
