Assign Idle Time to New or Existing Task #118

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When I return to my computer, it tells me I have been idle and asks me 
whether I want to include the time.
2. I click no (because it is for a different task).
3. The program freezes for a long time, plus I am required to make a separate 
entry to assign the idle time to a different task.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

If I click "yes" then the program responds very quickly.  My main goal in 
clicking "no" is because I want to stop the previous task and assign the idle 
time to a different task.  I think it is probably _very_ common that people 
become idle on their computer because they get up or turn their attention to 
something else.  At least, it is for me.  E.g., someone comes into the office 
and asks a question, so your hands leave the keyboard while you talk with them 
for 30 minutes.  You return and don't want to assign the 30 min. idle time to 
the task that the program was tracking, but cause the action of a "no" click 
for the previous computer task (i.e., enter a stop time for that entry as the 
beginning of idle), and then assign this idle time to a different task in your 
database, such as "Meetings".  (There could be an option to create a new task 
in this window as well, unless that would make it too complicated.)  I think 
this would be a welcome addition.

Thanks!  Great program.
