How to track watched movies and game progress¶
What this is for¶
You track a movie through its status and watch date. You can split a game into milestones; its progress percentage comes from completing those milestones, and play sessions separately record the time spent playing.
How to get there¶
Pick Leisure → Movies (/movies) or Leisure → Games (/games).
Step by step¶
- For a movie pick New Movie, enter Title, set Status, optionally the duration and Watch date (schedules it as a task). Pick Add movie.
- Open the movie to edit its data. After watching, set Watched and save with Save.
- For a game pick New game, enter Title, optionally Platform (optional), set Status and pick Add game.
- Open the game, pick Add milestone, enter Milestone and save with Add milestone.
- Check off completed milestones; the percentage is the rounded share of completed milestones.
- When all milestones are done, pick the suggested Mark game completed to change the game's status as well.
- To schedule the playing itself, use Plan play session: enter Task name, duration, Date and optionally Start time, then Create task.
Fields and options¶
| Area | Actual options |
|---|---|
| Movie | Title, Status: To watch or Watched, duration in minutes and watch date. |
| Game | Title, Platform (optional), Status: Backlog, Playing, On hold, Completed, Dropped. |
| Game milestone | Milestone, Notes (optional), duration, Plan date (optional), Completed. |
| Play session | Task name, Notes (optional), duration, Date, Start time. Creates a task linked to the game. |
| Edit, Delete | Editing or removal; deleting a game or a movie requires confirmation. |
Common mistakes / pitfalls¶
- You never enter a game's percentage by hand. It counts completed milestones, regardless of their length; with no milestones the result is 0%.
- Completing a play session does not complete a milestone. Completing all milestones shows a suggested game status change that you must confirm.
- A milestone requires a name up to 250 characters; the note is limited to 10000 characters. The game platform is limited to 100 characters.
- Giving a date to a new movie adds a copy to the planner. Changing the date of an existing movie does not move that copy. The save does not let you clear a saved movie date.
The rules for copying media into the planner are described in planning in the library.
