graphical interface for editing/reporting
I would like to have a GUI (similar to Google calendar) that I can add/view items in day/week/month view. This way, I can much more easily view the whole report. Also, this way is much easier to edit items (by simply clicking to ender, drag to change time, etc.)

Agreed on graphical interface: "What was I doing last Wednesday from 2:33 to 3:47? Oh, I had started that next task but hadn't started the timer. I'll just drag the start handle of that task up to the end of the previous task." Or: "That bar for Task A is huge. There's no way I spent that much time on it. Oh, again, I forgot to start the timer on Task B until an hour into it. I'll just grab the handle between the tasks to shrink A and grow B."
It could get fancier, like snappin... more

It could get fancier, like snapping to increments (five minutes, fifteen, etc.), allowing overlapping, rearranging (I'll sometimes add a task from the timer at the end of the day with a note that I did the work that morning, then go back and edit it later), etc.
Even though the main draw of Slimtimer is its simplicity, I don't think this would make it any more difficult to use. Or, it could be an add-on?

I really feel missing a graphical interface for editing, reporting and following projects. But in my opinion, a interface semmed like MS Project should be better, organizing tasks and periods (like Gantt). Other idea is to have bar charts showing efforts (%) per project, and so on - make a entire set of graphical options. Slimtimer is very nice and useful, but would be richer as a timesheet management tool - grapchical resources are more friendly and faster to work.
