partial spendtime for multiple tickets in task-list #2

Assume you have more tickets in your task-list. Then in the pomodoro measure the time for each ticked separately. So that when i set one done only the time i used for this ticket will be logged to redmine.

E.g. Sometimes I have a bunch of tiny tickets and 2 are done in one pomodoro. Then i want to click the first one, assume i need 5 minutes, a click at "mark done" and it logs 0,083 to redmine. Then i work on the second ticket which will take 15 minutes then 0,25 will be logged to redmine.

Tranquility answered in issue #1 : I like your second idea with more granular time tracking, that sounds really useful. >When I started developing the application I thought the best way is to allow grouping of >tasks, which would be closer to the idea of pomodoros, but your idea seams more >practical.

For the second idea i would say actual time gets tracked, because i use the time in redmine for billing and statistics. I would say the ticket you clicked on and of which the task discription is shown will be tracked. May be you could add an icon in the row of the current tracked task to indicate that this one is be tracked?

But what happens if i have 3 tiny tasks in the task window and the promodoro runs and i click/switch to the other (may be a related ticket with addional information in task description)? Will the time goes to the first one until it is set done, or have each task in list its own timetracking?

Probably the best solution would be memorize the time spend on that task and send it to redmine after the pomodoro is finished. And it probably makes sense to send only the ones that have a certain amount of time, like 10 seconds or something to track not the time for entries one accidentally selected.

But what happens if i reset the pomodoro because of to much interruptions? Is the time lost?
