Changing the adapter settings:
Status: Activate the adapter to write CSV records on your hard drive.
File Name: Specify the Name of the CSV file, Minco will write your work-time records. You can drag any token from the token panel in the name file to customize the file name. If the file does not exist, Minco will create a new file with the appropriate name.
File Path: Name the path Minco will use to write the CSV file. If the path does not exist, Minco will create it for you.
The path is always relative to your home directory. If you would like to write the CSV file out-site of your home folder, you can use a symbolic link.
Content: The content defines the format of one record (line) in the CSV file.
Header: If activated, Minco will write a header line on top of a new file.
The header is only written the first time Minco create a new file. You can not write a header line for existing files.
Encoding: Choose the file encoding Minco will use for the file.
!!! WARNING !!! Never change the encoding for an existing file.
Export: Normally, Minco writes CSV records for a work-time immediately after you stop working on a task. With Export option activated, Minco will delay the writing of work-times until a task is completed or you decide to export work-time records manually. This will also allow you to group work-time records by day or month.
To export work-times for the current task manually, open the menu and choose "Export to CSV file". Minco will always export only new recorded work-times of the current task. If there are no new work-times to export, Minco allows you to "dump" all existing work-times of the selected task.
!!! WARNING !!! Use the dump function carefully, not to run in problems of duplicated work-time records. We recommend to remove existing files before you export all existing work-times for a task (dump).
Since Minco will not update existing records in CSV files, activate the export functionality if you plan to edit work-times in iCal and write it on task completion.
Grouping: With export activated, you can specify if Minco will group work-times records by day or month.
