  • Very good app
  • I love the project, but it breaks my heart how many inconveniences it has for installing on Linux. The good: a) Editing is easy; you can even create a timeline from any text editor and then open it in the program. That's its greatest strength. b) Navigating between events using the keyboard is great. c) Zooming in and out with the keyboard is brilliant. The not so good: a) Vertical scrolling is somewhat clumsy. b) Mouse scrolling is sometimes too sensitive. The Bad: a) It has several Python-related dependencies. I have it installed on three different computers, and it only works on one. Used the Snapcraft installation. I propose a possible solution: 1) Create an AppImage (carring all dependencies). 2) Create an installer for Debian (perhaps). Many thanks.
  • I found this software really useful and created helpful timelines two or three years ago. After several attemps to create new timelines now and add events to old ones I stopped using the software. What's really annoying ist: whenever you add an event, which ist overlapping another one, it changes start and end dates of ALL other events. Changing them back will cause new overlaps which change dates of ALL others again. Due to automatic saving you can't go back to an intact version any more. So you'll never finish the job. This is boring. So one important advice: CREATE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR TIMELINE BEFORE WORKING ON IT! Please change this "feature" of involuntary shift of events ASAP. I'll come back and start beeing a fan again. Thanks a lot!
  • i want chinese,please~ this app is very good,thank you!
  • Nice Job, thank you ! This is pure SW without superficial design neurotix I love the very small tool icons ► leave BIG space to time line project ! Perfekt My Suggestions • print function with •• scale option to dispatch a time line on ie DIN A4 pages + set layout portrait or lanscape + set small margins etc ••• automatic save function each 2 min. ie •••• option to avoid sudden springs 1000 years away when clicking unintentionnaly in the white pace (my actual solution : set ctrl+alt+A) ••••• option to modify / complete localized language(s) in the local installation + export for sharing / next update •••••• import xls list of events would b nice (importing one ics after another is not productive enough) I am a happy user of TL !
