problems with continuous clocking

Hello,

I am experiencing some problems with the continuous clocking feature of
org-mode. I created a question in stackoverflow for this (see
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17969129/emacs-org-mode-continuous-clocking-does-not-work
)

I would be grateful, if you could help me in resolving this issue..

Below  is the  description of the problem as asked in stackoverflow


Thanks you for any help,

Andreas


I activated the option org-clock-continuously to recover gaps in my
clocking and the continuous clocking does not seem to work.

I am often fixing endtimes for clocked items, because I forgot to clock out
(using the function org-resolve-clocks and using the K option (keep x
minutes).

When I am clocking in afterwards (in the agenda view) after having fixed
the last clock, org-mode always clocks me in with the current time instead
of the last time I clocked out (according to the clock resolution).

Example:

TODO sample todo

CLOCK: [2013-07-31 Mi 12:53]

M-x org-resolve-clocks -> K -> 5

CLOCK: [2013-07-31 Mi 12:53]--[2013-07-31 Mi 12:58] => 0:05

agenda view: clock in on a different task

(! no question, if I want to clock in now or at last clock out time !)

** TODO sample todo 2

CLOCK: [2013-07-31 Mi 13:22]

Any ideas how to fix this or what option I have to activate in addition to
org-clock-continuously?

I am working on windows 7 Professional with GNU Emacs (GNU Emacs 24.3.1
(i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601)) and orgmode 8.0.3

I don't think you can work in the past. Usually I fix clock manually.

Hmm,

I was expecting that the functionality helps me in avoiding the need to fix
clocks manually.. Perhaps I misunderstand the feature?

If I deactivate org-clock-continuously, I get the following question when
logging in : "You stopped another clock x minutes ago; start this one from
then?". If I answer with "Yes" the system clocks me in "correctly" (i.e. at
the time of the last clock out". I thought, that "org-clock-continuously"
automates this behaviour (basically answering "yes" automatically)

If org-clock-continuously does not do this, how can I achieve this?

All the best,
Andreas

Do you forget to clock out when quitting Emacs?  If yes, add this to your
.emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    ;; ask the user if they wish to clock out before killing Emacs
    (defun leuven--org-query-clock-out ()
      "Ask the user before clocking out.
    This is a useful function for adding to `kill-emacs-query-functions'."
      (if (and (featurep 'org-clock)
               (funcall 'org-clocking-p)
               (y-or-n-p "You are currently clocking time, clock out? "))
          (org-clock-out)
        t)) ;; only fails on keyboard quit or error

    (add-hook 'kill-emacs-query-functions 'leuven--org-query-clock-out)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards,
  Seb
