The culprit must be the "emacs 23 cocoa on Snow Leopard" part. It works fine (in the sense that "it does not lead to emacs crashes") on Linux: Org-mode version 6.32 (release_6.32.8.g9077) GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of 2009-10-13 on gamaville.dokosmarshall.org I don't clock much (maybe one of these years, when I find the time... the usual excuse of the procrastinator :-), so I'm not sure how things are supposed to work. I tried to clock in a task from the agenda (using I), I get a "dangling clock" message, I select cancel and everything is fine. I then clock out and the clock gets updated appropriately. I then clock in again and get another dangling clock warning (with ~120000 mins on it). After doing it a few times on a couple of different items, I don't get the dangling messages any more either. I guess all the clocks I had started way back when, when I was playing with clocks, and had not closed, were found, dealt with, and now I'm all set - maybe. If anything is really wrong, I'm sure we'll get an earful when Bernt (aka the king of clocking) upgrades !-) As for turning things off, the following two (excerpted from org-clock.el) might help (untested): ,---- | ... | (defcustom org-clock-idle-time nil | "When non-nil, resolve open clocks if the user is idle more than X minutes." | :group 'org-clock | :type '(choice | (const :tag "Never" nil) | (integer :tag "After N minutes"))) | | (defcustom org-clock-auto-clock-resolution 'when-no-clock-is-running | "When to automatically resolve open clocks found in Org buffers." | :group 'org-clock | :type '(choice | (const :tag "Never" nil) | (const :tag "Always" t) | (const :tag "When no clock is running" when-no-clock-is-running))) | ... `---- HTH, Nick _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
