* [PATCH] Avoid losing persisted clock data when exiting emac without loading org-mode @ 2009-10-23 7:01 Kai Tetzlaff 2009-10-24 16:48 ` Carsten Dominik 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: Kai Tetzlaff @ 2009-10-23 7:01 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1756 bytes --] Hi, i noticed that when using the org-mode clock persistence, the stored clock data gets deleted when i start emacs and exit again without turning on org-mode in between. When looking at org-clock-persistence-insinuate it looks like org-clock load will only run after org-mode gets started whereas org-clock-save will always be called when exiting emacs: (defun org-clock-persistence-insinuate () "Set up hooks for clock persistence" (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-clock-load) (add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook 'org-clock-save)) Not running org-mode-hook (i.e. not starting org-mode) thus does not load clock data but org-clock-save overwrites any prviously saved data when exiting emacs. An easy fix for that would be to just add org-clock-load to e.g. emacs-startup-hook. But this will only work if the code in org-clock-load does not depend on any org-mode initialization code (or would require loading org-mode). So org-clock-save should probably check if org-clock-load has been running during the current emacs session (or if clock persistence was just enabled) and only then save clock data when exiting emacs. I tried to add this to the code in org-clock-save: diff --git a/lisp/org-clock.el b/lisp/org-clock.el index c7ebbf8..c0fe4e6 100644 --- a/lisp/org-clock.el +++ b/lisp/org-clock.el @@ -1803,7 +1803,8 @@ This function is made for clock tables."

What one really wants to do is save the clock and history if and only if the clock has been used in the current session. So I guess it is better to create a special variable org-clock-used-in-this-session which then will be set to t each time clock-in starts a clock somewhere. I believe this would be a better insurance policy.

I wasn't exactly sure about where to set org-clock-used-in-this-session to t. It's now done right at the end of org-clock-in, just before running hooks in org-clock-in-hook.
