Plugin TimeLog

General

After downloading the plugin , simple copy the file timelog.hxt into the HXT directory your A:M installation . The plugin works only with A:M V13c and higher versions.
The plugin was originally designed as a working relief for me , and therefor raises far no claim to completeness or accuracy, however it is freeware.

Description

Caution

If you are using the plugin "AutoSave" too , be sure that you have installed also the latest version . At minimum V0.3 for both plugins (dated from 07.04.2007) is needed , otherwise both plugins won't work .
