  • 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 !
  • There is so much that is promising about this project that it breaks my heart to give it a bad review. However, there is SO MUCH that is fundamentally wrong and stupid about this project that it just plain sucks. There is no way to view, import or edit you list of events in a list fashion... at at. That is FUNDAMENTAL to a project like this. Date entry defaults to BC... that is insane. The timeline does not offer a way to snap to the range of dates that the events lie in... totally stupid. The user interface is confusing and missing so many fundamentals that I don't even know where to begin. This project has been around for YEARS, why don't they have the fundamentals fixed by now? This program is like finding a sports car that has been built to look like a corvette, but is pulled by a donkey. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. Don't even bother posting a project like this, it wastes people's time.
  • I started using this application back in 2012 or 2013. I just updated it today after having not updated since I first downloaded it... AND WOW! It has grown! I use this app to track timelines in the fictional stories I'm writing and the ability to overlap timelines from other stories I'm writing in my universe is the SOLE reason I've been carting the old install from drive to drive for years. The updated app opened my almost decade old timeline without issues. Everything is there. I could cry with joy because I spent so much time on this and I'd be devastated without it. There are so many (new to me!) options that I feel like I have a lot I can change about my timeline. THANK YOU
