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.

I'd be happy to accept a patch!
