I've just tried your process, and I find it really, really nice.
Though, I have a few questions about it, or about how I can do to make it
better suit my needs or particularities.
Let me explain.
I clock-in the task "Read Emails and News". I find a nice post, from which I
wanna keep a copy (it was the case with yours, for example), at least of some
part of it. I select a region, and call remember with the template:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
("Org-mode" ?o
"* %^{Title}\n\n %i\n\n From the %a"
"~/Public/Documentation-on-Org-mode.txt"
"Documentation on Org-mode")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
(BTW, `.txt' files are Org-mode files in my config)
What is annoying now is that the clock will be stopped for task "Emails and
News" while I really have not changed of activity. And I don't want to clock
in anything special for the simple copy I made of a news posting. Here, I
would expect the started clocked to go on as if nothing happened -- ignoring
the "clock switching stuff" for that particular remember template.
This is completely different if I am interrupted by the phone (client call) or
by a mail which requires a long response to a client (and needs to be
correctly tracked). For these, I will also make use of the remember templates,
such as:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
("Note" ?n
"* %U %?\n\n %i\n From the %a"
nil
"Notes")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and I want the standard "Read Emails and News" clock to be temporarily
stopped, while the call will be tracked appropriately for a client project.
So, is there a way to merge those 2 points of view into one functionality?
Hope my text is clear enough for you all to understand what I mean.
Best regards and Thanks for having shared!
Seb
