Hi all,

Sorry to have some answers delayed. I have troubles accessing Gmane from
certain locations... hence, almost can't access Org-mode (yes, I know, but I
don't like the ML style -- I prefer newsgroups).

So, to come back to my title, I have a feature request around clocking.

Currently, we know how much time we spend on tasks since the beginning (it
depends the file contents). For example, having one clock file per month, I
always see in the modeline how much time I spent reading mails since March
1st.

Though, I think it'd be very interesting to know how much time I spent reading
mails *today* as well. This can help me distributing my work better.

So, I think seeing something like `[0:37 / 2:25 (Emails and News)]' would be
very nice.

What do you think, all?  Is it easy to implement?

Best regards,
  Seb

  Putting this under each task you clock in will give you time today.
  
  :PROPERTIES:
   :CLOCK_MODELINE_TOTAL: today
  :END:
  
  I don't you can show both time to today and time for the file at once
  though.
  
  HTH.

  please check out variable org-clock-modeline-total.  and a clock
  report can show the time for monthly time consumption.

    Thanks for your answers, which both show me that I can override the default
    globally and per item.
    
    I guess that not seeing both together won't be such a problem (I'll see with
    usage but...) as we can have reports quickly generated.
    
    Thank you very much!
    
    Though, the only *remaining nice feature* would maybe be the following: add a
    letter indicating what's the meaning of the total. For example, we could see
    
        `T 02:51 (Reading Emails)'
    
    for a total limited to *today* and
    
        `M 02:51 (Reading Emails)'
    
    for a total limited to *monthly*.
    
    What do you think of that?  Otherwise, it becomes difficult to distinguish
    between locally overridden totals and the global default value...
    
    Seb

        I think all this would be easier to implement if the modeline string could be the result of a user-defined function. Then the user could add some letters according to some property, or show one particular time, or another, or more than one, etc.
