Hi folks, Thanks again to y'all for org-mode. Here's a quick question: how hard would it be to include seconds in the clock logging? It may sound like a silly request, but I often have to work on two or three billable different projects in a day, sometimes switching back and forth between them. When you add up all those intervals for an invoice covering a month or more, counting those half and quarter minutes might add up to an additional hour or so of billable time. It's possible I'm just misunderstanding the org-mode algorithm, and that its rounding turns out to be almost as accurate over the long haul. Plus, many people expect to be billed by the half hour anyhow. But I time various projects for myself, too, so this is really an interest for my own work. What do you all think? Bill Powell
Hi Bill, I would think that this will average away. When clocking in, Org only notices the full minutes. If you are clocking in at 14:22:59 and out again 1 second later at 14:23:00 you will cheat 59 seconds into the clocking interval and bill a whole minute. So this kind of *cheating* goes both ways and will average out. And yes, it really would seem strange to clock by the second :-) - Carsten _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
