Track all video players as "active" #86

First of all, I want to say thank you so much for making this. It's one of the most helpful activity trackers I've used, and it's lightweight to boot.

When I watch videos downloaded to my computer, I sometimes watch these videos not using full screen. Is there any way to set it up so a program is being tracked if it is in the foreground, regardless of idle status?

That is currently not possible, no..

The absolute simplest way that could be done is with a preference dialog that allows you to specify a list of program names that should not cause it to count as idle when they are the active window..

woah, appreciate the quick reply.

this is pretty much exactly what I want. I wish I knew C so I could contribute.
