    Hi,

    I would like to purpose a feature (if it dosen't exist) that stop the current activity when a time comes and start at certain time (I.E.: At 8:00).

    In my use day, I often forget to stop/start my activity and the program could use a set of two times and daywork days to start or stop the current activity every day.

    Could you consider my sugestion and think if it is applicable ?

    Regards
    Ezequias R. da Rocha

    Wouldn't it be better to have the system tell you that the time is wrong (by the fact that you knew you didn't work for 87 hours on that activity) rather than have a time in there which is still wrong but subtly so? And then as a bonus actually break the real timing when you are working hard one night at 9pm?

    That's a good idea too. But when the system find out the problem the problem already occurs ant there is nothing to do with the calculated time.

    What do you think about my point of view ?

    Sincerely
    Ezequias

    My point is that your idea introduces a subtle error which the user may not pick up. I'd prefer the error to be huge and obvious so you are then prompted to fix it. That is, I (personally) like it the way it is now.

    Doing something like this will have exactly the same problems, just in the other direction - if you're not remembering to start your timer, you probably won't remember to stop / disable it either when that's appropriate. I'd rather try and come up with a way to make you remember to start your timer. :-)
