KDE4 plasmoid timer is a software tool that allows users to track time using a timer widget on their desktop. It integrates seamlessly with KDE Plasma and enables users to set custom intervals and alarms.
The Timer Plasmoid Companion Script is a handy KDE4 plasmoid timer designed for those who want to have a repeated sound alarm without any hassle. Developed by an experienced programmer, this plasmoid timer effortlessly runs any sound file to alarm you of your tasks or reminders.
The developer initially disregarded GUI alarm clocks as they were perceived as time-wasters. However, this perception changed with the Timer plasmoid that ships with KDE 4.2. The Timer plasmoid is impressive, but it had a caveat with no convenient way to have it play a sound repeatedly until the user acknowledges the alarm. With this in mind, the developer made a quick hacky-tacky script to "fix" the matter.
The Timer Plasmoid Companion Script works by default by using MPlayer to loop /usr/share/sounds/Kopete_User_is_Online.ogg until the user clicks OK in the dialog window that pops up. It uses KDialog for this, making it available on kde-apps.org. If you don't have MPlayer installed, the script allows you to change the sound it plays by using any other installed player.
Designed mainly for use with the Timer plasmoid, the Timer Plasmoid Companion Script can also run stand-alone. Just run "tpcs --help" for all the details you require. To get started, download the script and place it in your path (mv /path/to/tpcs ~/.local/bin OR /usr/local/bin). It is optional to tell the Timer plasmoid (or whatever other program you may want to call it from) to run tpcs, as shown in the second screenshot.
All in all, the Timer Plasmoid Companion Script is an excellent addition to your software collection. It is easy to use, versatile, and efficient, delivering timely notifications every time. If you're looking for a reliable timer that's both user-friendly and customizable, then the Timer Plasmoid Companion Script is an excellent option to consider.
