``repairing'' time logging/clocks

[Martin Steffen]

Hi,

I got a question about time logging. Sometimes I forget/had forgotten to
clock-out. If I clock out correctly, it entries look for instance as


  CLOCK: [2010-04-24 Sat 06:56]--[2010-04-24 Sat 06:58] =>  0:02


To repair dangling clocks, one can use, it seems, 

      M-x org-resolve-clocks

where one has a number of options (keep, cancel...). However, in my
orgfile, I have a quite number of time-log entries of the form



  CLOCK: [2010-04-24 Sat 06:56]--[2010-04-24 Sat 06:58]    (***)


i.e., the sum is missing. The reason why I have those is because I
repaired non-finished clocks 

        CLOCK: [2010-04-24 Sat 06:56]--


by just manually adding the end-time. That seemed to work in that the
sum will appear in summary clock tables.  However, entires of the form
(***) are considered "dangling" and since recently org prompts me to do
something about it, i.e., resolve them.

 Is there a possibility to _automatically_ add the number of minutes and
 complete the enty (***)  to one where the => is added correctly?


Alternatively: if I want to not repair my file right now, can I switch
of that each time I want to clock in, I am prompted to do something
about the old clocks?

Cheers, Martin


PS: I use org-version 6.35g and emacs 23.1.94

After you edit a clock entry you can recalculate the total with C-c C-y
