Pause time tracking #173

Thanks for a good, simple app. Getting used to the UI but it's already useful in my day.

This was already discussed in #135 and closed quite quickly, I think pausing an ongoing event (or events) is really useful. Personally I work on many different things during the day and have to juggle a lot, and of course then there are natural breaks for whatever reason.

The "solution" in #135 isn't really one as far as I can see - having many entries per day when one has been (say) working on something for 5 hours with 4 breaks, is messy. Why not put a pause button in the notification drop-down next to "Stop"?

In the main app screen, the single click to stop tracking is fair enough, but perhaps: a) A click could bring up a pause or stop dialog or b) A long press could add pause to the somewhat cryptic screen.

What do you think?

Hello! Thank you for the feedback. Adding pauses seems like an overcomplication that would be used by not many people but would require a lot of rework to support it. Unfortunately at the moment it is not planned.

As a side note, you described some screen as cryptic. Can you please share a little bit more what do you find cryptic about it? I receive from time to time messages that the application's ui is hard to understand. Maybe it could be improved.
