Bug Description
When i want to generate a report, a terminalwindow opens and another gtk-window shows the following German errormessage:
"Beim Erzeugen des Kindprozesses für dieses Terminal ist ein Fehler aufgetreten" which means something like:
"Error while generating a childprocess for this terminal"
No Report is generated then.
Changed in gtimelog: | |

To post a comment you must log in.
This means you don't have mutt installed.
The way GTimeLog implements reports now is:
(1) it prepares an e-mail message template in a temporary file gtimelogrc
(2) it launches the "mailer" command specified in ~/.gtimelog/
The default mailer command is
x-terminal- emulator -e mutt -H %s
which means "open Mutt with this prepared email in a terminal".
What you could do, if you don't want to use Mutt (as a terminal app, it has a fairly steep-ish learning curve), is edit ~/.gtimelog/ gtimelogrc and change the mailer setting to something like
mailer = gedit %s
Then gtimelog (after you restart it) will open its generated reports in a text editor.
