Hi there!

I'd like to accomplish this. If anybody can tell me at least if that's a feasible thing to do with org-mode, i'll try to develop it myself :)

I log time spent in my tasks (with org-clock), which I usually leave in STARTED state (because maybe there was a bug in my code, and I'd need to spend more time with them.

At the end of the week, or maybe the next week I go through all STARTED tasks and start closing them.

What happens (and that's a normal behaviour) is that the task gets a CLOSED timestamp with right now's date and time.

I then adjust it manually to set it to the last clocked-out timestamp (which, for me, is the last time I spent working on it).

Would it possible to customize org-mode to do this? Does it even make sense?

I guess I'd have to change this lines of org-todo:

	      (when (and now-done-p org-log-done)
		;; It is now done, and it was not done before
		(org-add-planning-info 'closed (org-current-effective-time))
		(if (and (not dolog) (eq 'note org-log-done))
		    (org-add-log-setup 'done org-state this 'findpos 'note)))
	      (when (and org-state dolog)
		;; This is a non-nil state, and we need to log it
		(org-add-log-setup 'state org-state this 'findpos dolog)))

To call org-current-effective-time with an extra param that takes last timestamped clock's end time and returns it instead of org-current-time.

(defun org-current-effective-time ()
  "Return current time adjusted for `org-extend-today-until' variable"
  (let* ((ct (org-current-time))
	  (dct (decode-time ct))
	  (ct1
	   (if (and org-use-effective-time
		    (< (nth 2 dct) org-extend-today-until))
	       (encode-time 0 59 23 (1- (nth 3 dct)) (nth 4 dct) (nth 5 dct))
	     ct)))
    ct1))


How could I get last timestamped clock's end time?

Thanks a lot for your help, and thanks even more for org-mode!!

Hi Gaizka,

I introduced `org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time' which lets
you do this automatically.  You can test it from the git master branch
for now, it will be in the next major release.

Thanks for this idea!

Useful idea, indeed, thanks for implementing it !
