I feel sorry that I have unleashed this broken code, and have now "fixed"
the first problem I have found. I think it's best to ask for help and
advice.
The code I just posted does work, but when restarting after a pause, if one
has paused twice, time is subtracted serially, each time the restart routine
is run.
Also, the rest of the relative timer code is ignorant of my code, and
continues to stamp times using, for example, org-timer-item, progressively.
But then, when the timer is "restarted" the time is adjusted to the paused
time.
I have solved one problem, and left others. I would welcome any ideas. I
cannot hack the timer code, as much of it is beyond the limits of my lisp
cluefullness. But probably the best that can be hoped for is for this to be
incorporated into the code in org-timer.el .
I have written into my little dired-vlc a test for C-u that starts the
relative timer if the argument is detected when starting the video! Man,
this is nice. It's much more straightforward for me to start, comment,
pause, reset as needed, etc., at this point. And I already see the
pitfalls. I'm likely to keep it simple, keep it for my own purposes.
Should I post that? It's not very large, so I will do so below, with thanks
to the emms people and others, as well as caveats aplenty.
Thanks for the relative timer. And org-mode.
