The timetagger-mergedatabases.py is intended to merge TimeTagger record tables of multiple user databases into one user database, replacing the existing records. Extends the records by user information. This can be used as a workaround to create a unified view of the records of all or a group of users.

Thanks! I guess it's time for a folder with user-contributed stuff. Let's create a folder |
|
Excellent. I'll adapt the PR soon and possible add another feature to the script. |
|
Added some more features to the script, moved it to contrib and added to the package. Adding to the package has been done in a separate commit. Remove it, if you want. |
... to be able to replace text in the descriptions during merging.

After my approach to extend the webui to offer some access to other user records (#449) got rejected, I abandoned this approach. As a workaround, I created an external script to merge the record tables of multiple users together.

Currently I run this script periodically via cron.
Feel free to merge it, or reject it. As an external script, it is quite easy maintainable by itself.
