Now I paid another 0.89€ and still I can't see the remaining percentage AND Time?!
Please add this feature!

Just got a notification running App version 1.5 that there is an update, but 1.5 is the most recent version. So it looks like there is a little bug. Don't know when/why it was triggered btw!

Note that I'm running the build from the website and DID NOT create my own build. So that can't be the problem. :)

I see a little bug. When I reboot my mac, if I am on battery, during the first minute, the fully charged icon is displayed but only after one minute, I have the real icon (on battery) that displayed with the time remaining.

I reboot three times to test and it's the same thing at each times. I am the only one with this bug ?

If I display time+percentage, the parentheses are around the time AND the percentage.

The best would be that the parentheses are only around the time remaining, isn't it ?

Hi there!

This app is solely made for Mountain Lion. I don't know how hard all this code signing stuff is, but it would make total sense for this app to get past Gatekeepers standard setup.

Yes, it's just two more clicks, but many users don't even know they can do this.

Right now it looks lighter & smaller.

When the icon is hidden and it is charged, nothing is shown. It would be great if the menu item would show something like "Charged" instead of just being a little invisible menu item.

After installing Battery-Time-Remaining 1.5.1 I have problems with the complete charge of the battery!! Seems like it won't recognize when it's fully charged. It is always "Calculating" how long it takes until it's 100% and stucked at 5081 of 5133 mAh.
Some more information: Cycles: 43
Temperature 30,7°C

MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2012 - 2,5 GHz - 8Gb RAM

iStat, the Mac Os App and "SlimBatteryMonitor" having the same issue of not knowing when the battery charged to 100%.

Releasing the AC power adapter iStat changes to 100% followed by the Battery-Time-Remaining-App and SlimBatteryMonitor telling me that it full charged.

5133 of 5133 mAh and stuff.

When I plug in the power adapter again it turns green for a second and the different battery symbols show that, too. Just a second later everything turns into charging and calculating how long it takes to charge (without a result) and power adapter turns from green to orange.

Update: Fixed it using the SMC reset, but uninstalled the app before, so I can't tell if the SMC would have fixed the problem with the installed app.

Hello. I've just translated this application in Slovak language. But I'm not a friend with GitHub and don't know where to put that file, so I'am attaching Dropbox link - http://bit.ly/OvcJmj.

MacBookPro10,1 (15" MacBook Pro; "Retina, Mid 2012")
OSX 10.9
Observing using the Activity Monitor→Energy→Graphics Card
(or using gfxCardStatus from http://gfx.io/)
Battery Time Remaining versions 2.0.1 and 1.6.4

When running Battery Time Remaining 2, the graphics card is forced into discrete mode. Attempting to push it back to integrated mode, gfxCardStatus indicates that Battery Time Remaining 2 is the reason it can't (see attached image).

Same behaviour for Battery Time Remaining 1.

Using the discrete graphics mode consumes more battery power.

PS: gfx.io recommends this article for review: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/qa/qa1734/_index.html

HI, just noticed that v1.6.1 doesn't work on OS X 10.8.2 (MBP Retina). But the previous versions worked very well. Thank you very much!

Greetings. Really like the app, bought it in the App Store to support you.

It would be great if you added the ability to command-drag the icon to a new location. It doesn't seem to work now. Thanks.

Battery-Time remaining doesn't show up after installing. How can I get it to do so?

Ill be more busy the coming weeks so I just add notes for myself what I have in my mind

1. Add back white dropshadow in "1.5.2dev", Should always have setTemplate:YES except when battery are lower than 15% (in battery mode)
2. Make batteryCharged icon black.
3. Refactor 19,
   • remove EXTRA_TOP_OFFSET constant somehow
   • Decide if "Time display with brackets"-text should change to "Display time with brackets" or something else or okey as it is.
   • Naming convention of timeFormatSubmenuItem variable
   • thinking If showParenthesis should be removed or not and use timeFormatSubmenuItem.state as I do with kBTRMenuAdvanced state
4. NSLocalizedString for the 2 ( 3 ) power source states.
5. Last update language files
6. Refactor - add #pragma mark - Events ?

Using Battery Time Remaining keeps my mid 2010 Mac Book Pro running in High Perf GPU mode instead of integrated. This should not be needed.

I'd like to prevent my battery from charging over 80% as per the recommendations here:

Unfortunately your app (which I bought through the Mac App Store) only shows notifications while discharging.

This application is signed with a Developer ID. I do not own a Developer ID, so I cannot contribute to this project, since it does not compiles on my system.

I have disabled everything that is related to code signing, but making a pull request now would disable these options also in your project. How can I work on it?

You didn't like my implementation of this, but adding it still would be very nice! see the picture: http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u256/erkferrari/ScreenShot2012-11-22at10913PM.png

Using the App Store version. Can you please implement a toggle between the two?

In Mac OS X 10.9, Battery Time Reminding 2 bought from the AppStore is forcing the use of the discrete graphics card on my Early 2013 Retina MacBook Pro. Any help?

If anyone is wondering when a new update is coming in Mac App Store.

It has been "Waiting For Review" since 29th August

I think have the choice of the position of the icon, the percentage or the time would be a good thing, no ?

for example, if i want have the percentage | icon | time remaining, today, I can't.

All informations are, today, on the right of the icon.

The best would be to add an option like : "Put the percentage on the left" or "Put the time on the left", no ?

thx.

With http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org you can auto-update the App, like many Mac Apps do. Don't know if it's Sandbox compatible, but the App isn't in the Mac AppStore so I think auto update is more important than sandboxing. :)

Would be a nice enchantment!

The string after "Power source" seems to be taken directly from IOPSKeys.h (http://opensource.apple.com/source/IOKitUser/IOKitUser-502/ps.subproj/IOPSKeys.h), resulting in English only. I don't know if OSX provides some resources where you can look up the localized strings or if you have to create your own dictionary, but having all the strings translated would be very nice.

Thank you for offering such a great app.
I found an issue, reporting below.

My environment is
Battery-Time-Remaining 1.6.1
on
OS X 10.8.2

When
Battery-Time-Remaining(BTR) is running
my macbookair resumes from sleep
ONLY IF the Power Source is changed
for example, Power Source was "AC Power", and it went sleep, then resuming from sleep with the Power Source "Battery Power". Or vice versa.

I see that at the very time when I reopen the macbookair, the login screen is shown with the BTR Power Source icon is the old one whose before it went sleep.
Then it takes about 10 seconds to get the latest status of the Power Source. During this, the rainbow wheel is spinning and I can't type my password to unlock.

So it's pretty annoying.

The fast resume is one of the important point of macbookair.

Thank you in advance for your work.

OSX Mavericks battery menu shows that Battery Time Remaining 2 is a significant energy consumer, and Application Monitor claims that it requires a high performance GPU.

This is my first mac app and I only have taken a beginner Iphone course before so I dont know so deep in objective c, so I wonder

• if someone with more expertise could check it has memory leaks ( or maybe teach how to check ) or do ARC take care of everything?
• if the code can be optimized much arbitrary?

when click on the icon it gets distorted. Image attached.

Also is it possible to display closer to time in the task bar?

I thing Battery-Time-Remaining would be somewhat more complete if it could show the battery design capacity versus the actual capacity. Just like coconut battery does.

With this extension one would have a complete battery monitoring tool.

Many regards,

Guido

Could you translate notification's title in the language choosen ?

For example, translate "Battery Time Remaining" to "Temps de batterie restant" (in french or "Återstående batteritid" in Swedish) when the pop up appears ?

PS : A little error for the translation in french : "Source de courant" = "Source d'alimentation" and the source is not translated :( "PC Power" = "adapteur secteur"; "Battery power" = "batterie" and in french, we have one space before ":" ;) I can change the translated file if you want ?

PPS : I don't know if it's visible but I added a bug here : #11

I've noticed that with Battery Time Remaining 1.6, ML takes about 10 seconds to shut-down on my MacBook Pro 5,5 2,26GHz Core 2 Duo 4 GB Ram with SSD.
By not starting the program, shut down in one second.

The original OS X battery icon uses a smaller font size than 12 points to save menu bar space.

Is it possible to add a menu item to set different font sizes like 12 points or 10 points?

/* Percentage left menuitem */
"%ld %% left" = "%ld %% restante";

/* Advanced percentage left menuitem */
"%ld %% left ( %ld/%ld mAh )" = "%1$ld %% restante ( %2$ld/%3$ld mAh )";

/* Time remaining left notification */
"%1$ld:%2$02ld left (%3$ld%%)" = "%1$ld:%2$02ld restante (%3$ld%%)";

/* Update menuitem
 Update notification */
"A newer version is available" = "Una nuova versione è disponibile";

/* Advanced mode setting */
"Advanced mode" = "Modalità avanzata";

/* Calculating sidetext */
"Calculating…" = "Calcolo…";

/* Charged notification */
"Charged" = "Caricato";

/* Update menuitem */
"Checking for updates…" = "Ricerca aggiornamenti…";

/* Update menuitem */
"Could not check for updates" = "Non ci sono aggiornamenti";

/* Advanced battery info menuitem */
"Cycle count: %ld" = "Cicli: %ld";

/* Time display with parentheses setting */
"Display time with parentheses" = "Mostra tempo tra parentesi";

/* Open Energy Saver Preferences menuitem */
"Energy Saver Preferences…" = "Impostazioni Risparmio Energia";

/* Remaining menuitem */
"Loading…" = "Caricamento…";

/* Notification menuitem */
"Notifications" = "Notifiche";

/* Powersource menuitem */
"Power source: %@" = "Alimentazione : %@";

/* Powersource menuitem */
"Power source: Unknown" = "Alimentazione : Sconosciuta";

/* Advanced battery info menuitem */
"Power usage: %.2f Watt" = "Consumo: %.2f Watt";

/* Quit menuitem */
"Quit" = "Esci";

/* Settings menuitem */
"Settings" = "Opzioni";

/* Start at login setting */
"Start at login" = "Lancia all'avvio";

/* Advanced battery info menuitem */
"Temperature: %.1f°C" = "Temperatura: %.1f°C";

/* Update menuitem */
"Up to date" = "Aggiornato";

After opening and using v1.5.1 I do not see the time being displayed next to the icon:

Hi,

I see the new version: Very good ;) Good job.

I translated the french options, but when I checked with the english version, I see one option that don't exist in real : "On battery while last unplugged:" I only see the setting : "Time since unplugged:" it's an forgotten ?

When you click on OS X's native battery icon, it tells you the time remaining in the menu. Battery Time Remaining should do the reverse!

The text is fine, but the icon is missing it!

Is it possible to add suport for moving the element in the status-bar?

I'm not a osx developer, but I think it would be nice to integrate Menu Cracker,

http://sourceforge.net/projects/menucracker/

In this way you can move the battery menu wherever you want. I will really appreciate this.

The menu icon should be movable with cmd + drag (like all the other menu bar icons).

When created icon for the program png images was not saved with transparent background. Therefore it looks bad in the application folder. See screen shot bellow:

I have created proper icon here. This icon was taken from iconfinder.com I have to note that for mac retina it will look desorted because of lack of 512x512 size.

I have found another image there and created icon as well. If should look good on any mac.

Also like to make a note. To make identical looking mac battery time you need to decrease font size on the time remaining.

Make start at login work in sandboxing mode.

Hi,

how do you distribute the app? If the MAS is the only distribution channel, why do you care about auto updates? The users will get notified via MAS.

When you click the icon the text turns white, but the icon itself doesn't. Should be nice if it did. :)

Ps. Nice updates so far! :)

Could you please add the feature of showing the remaining battery time not only as numbers, but as percentage as well. What I would like to see is the icon, the remaining battery time in numbers and the percentage all at the same time. That would be so great!
