I can reproduce this problem. I think :immediate-finish never clocks in at all which is why :clock-keep is not doing anything in this case. I think this is a bug and the clock should probably be started and kept in the new capture task. > > ** without immediate-finish > ** if :clock-in t :clock-keep t > the clock in clocks-in > BUT the clock is not kept, it is closed anyway. I can reproduce this problem as well. I don't currently have a use case for :clock-keep so I'm not currently using this feature in my templates. I agree the clock should probably be started and kept in the new capture task. > > cheers, > Giovanni > > P.S.

It works. I think this is intended behaviour. If a clock is not already running before you start the capture then there is no task to resume the clock on. In this case the clock stops after the capture is finalized. Is throwing an error message for this really useful?
