Remember/Sticky/Save timers across restarts

[Wisdawn]

I just noticed that after restarting Windows, I lose all my timers and their titles. This is almost a deal-breaker for me.

I would really, really appreciate the option to remember/stick/save timers, or make certain timers permanent, so I don't have to name and organize them every time I restart my operating system.

Thank you.

Thank you for bringing the feature to my attention, @i2van! I have now ticked the option to "Open saved timers on startup," but how do I save any timer? I don't see the option to save anywhere, and as you can see in the screenshot attached, Hourglass says I have "No saved timers." I confirm that I have set up three timers, though.

@Wisdawn You don't need to save timers explicitly, timer is saved when you close not yet expired one (don't ask me why it was implemented this way). Just close application and run it again without any command-line and all timers you have should be automatically loaded (if the corresponding option is set).

By the way, please use the Hourglass modified by me, old one has a lot of bugs I've fixed already.

@i2van Yes, I just realized that the timers save in many ways, including stopping and then restarting the timer! I restarted my system the other day to see dozens of duplicate timers when I started Hourglass. This is bizarre design.

I just installed your version. It does work much better, but it still lacks a Save button/link and preventing the saving of timers any other way.

Timers shouldn't save by stopping, starting, or in any way. There should simply be a Save button or link for saving, and that's it.

Thank you very much for working on your version. I was wondering why this useful app has been abandoned for so long and why there wasn't someone else working on updating it.
