what do you mean doubling??

[midnight horizon]

the function doubles itself

everytime i call it

with the button

i can share the code with u

if you want

[ivory patrol]

what happens when you click on start, code wise?

[midnight horizon]

 def update_time_pomodoro(self):
        if self.pomodorosecs != 0 and self.startpausepomodoro:
            self.pomodorosecs -=1
            self.listoftimers[self.current_tab].set(f"{self.pomodorosecs//60:02d}:{self.pomodorosecs%60:02d}")
            print(self.pomodorosecs)
            self.after(1000,self.update_time_pomodoro)
        elif self.pomodorosecs == 0:
            self.switch_tab()
    def pause_time_pomodoro(self):
        self.startpausepomodoro = False
        self.listofbuttons[self.current_tab].config(command=self.start_time_pomodoro, text="Start")
    def start_time_pomodoro(self):
        if not self.startpausepomodoro:
            self.startpausepomodoro = True
            self.listofbuttons[self.current_tab].config(command=self.pause_time_pomodoro, text="Pause")
            self.update_time_pomodoro()

[hollow swan]

this will be nice

[midnight horizon]

alright

[oblique moat]

Try just reordering when self.startpausepomodoro is set.

def pause_time_pomodoro(self):
    self.listofbuttons[self.current_tab].config(command=self.start_time_pomodoro, text="Start")
    self.startpausepomodoro = False

and then the same for start_time_pomodoro.

[midnight horizon]

ohh

thank you alot

[oblique moat]

Idk if that would help. That was just my intuition. I tried to rationalize it in a second comment and realized that I'm too tired to think.

[midnight horizon]

yea i still got the bug unfortunately

[oblique moat]

Damn, ok, nvm.

[autumn spade]

being called twice possibly?

[ivory patrol]

@midnight horizon can you check that the timer stops when you click the Pause button?

[oblique moat]

I originally thought that this was due to multiple timers being started due to the mishandling of the startpausepomodoro flag, but now that I'm looking at the code again, that doesn't seem possible.

[midnight horizon]

It does

The seconds stopped

In the vid

When i click pause
