I'll try :) I just turned it on in my setup by setting the following variables for this session: ,---- | org-clock-auto-clock-resolution is a variable defined in `org-clock.el'. | Its value is | when-no-clock-is-running `---- ,---- | org-clock-idle-time is a variable defined in `org-clock.el'. | Its value is 1 `---- I haven't tried the idle time stuff yet. I have a clocking entry to test with that looks like this: ,---- | * NEXT Respond to John's email on clocking | SCHEDULED: <2010-05-16 Sun> | :CLOCK: | CLOCK: [2010-05-16 Sun 15:29] | :END: `---- and I've been playing with starting clocks with open clock entries. I'm a bit confused about the prompt when I clock in with an open clock. The prompt seems to be geared towards the idle time stuff but I currently don't have any idle time -- I'm just clocking in an open entry. If I clock out, change the clock entry as above so that it is dangling and then clock it in I get the following prompt: "Dangling clock started 36 minutes ago [(kK)p (sS)ub (C)ncl (i)gn]" As far as I can tell k and K are identical, s, S, and C are identical and i leaves it untouched. k and K asks me how many minutes to keep and then clocks in the entry from now. s, S, and C removes the open clock and clocks in the entry from now. i leaves it alone and clocks in from the time of the open entry. For this case I think it would make sense to simplify the prompt to just k, s, and i (or whatever makes sense in this scenario). Setting org-clock-auto-clock-resolution to t doesn't make any sense in my setup since it asks for every clock-in what I want to do with the minutes on my currently clocking entry. I'm about to go light the barbecue for dinner... so I'll see what the idle time stuff does shortly I hope. ... Well that didn't seem to work. It's been 15 minutes and as far as I can tell the idle time stuff didn't do anything. I clocked in another task when the clock was still running and it simply closed the clock of my open task and started the new clock normally. Am I missing something in my setup to enable the idle time detection?
