FAQ
I installed hamster but it does not appear in the list of applets
Before 2.26 hamster applet did not had “hamster” in it. Look for “Time tracking” or something like that in your language
How do you delete things in hamster (like activities, categories)?
You delete things using Del button on your keyboard. In 2.28 there are also some clickable icons.
What about Gnome-Do plugin?

Where is the database file?
~/.gnome2/hamster-applet/hamster.db
It’s SQLite.
What about synchronization and backups?
Should be done via Conduit, using the DBUS backend, but nothing much has been done there. So until then, please back up the file in your home folder (see previous)
What about tracking open windows and such?
We are more for the approach that you control what is being tracked, so you get the result on the level of detail you prefer. Tracking open windows and then trying to figure out what you are doing is the other time tracking. We might get there at some point. But it has many implications and currently looks like it would just make things complicated.
