Hi Carsten,
I use the agenda clock report during the end of my day. Would it be
difficult to have it include the currently clocking task if a
clock is
active?
I clock billable and nonbillable tasks during the day. If I want to
stop working at 8 billable hours I currently run the clock report
and
then find the current active clock entry (last one on the page with
l'
in the agenda) and manually add the time accumulated to the clock
report
to see when I'm done for the day. This is a bit tedious and error
prone.
I'm thinking that since agenda clock reports are not permanent it
wouldn't hurt to include the current clocking item in the agenda
report if that is easy to do. I've been digging around in the clock
report code in my limited spare time but haven't yet made any useful
progress on this task.
Any pointers on where to make this modification would be
appreciated.
Hi Bernt,
I think the right place would be `org-clock-sum'. Right now,
this looks only for complete clock lines. You could modify the
regexp
to check for incomplete lines (first time stamp only) and then check
if the org-clock-marker points to the current line. If yes, you
could
use the current time as the end time and proceed.
Send me a patch if you get this to work, with a customization
variable
to turn this off.

Yes it does thanks. I found the logic that uses the regexp for
parsing
the times and summing them in reverse up to the headline in
org-clock-sum. I haven't modified the regexp yet but was planning
something similar to what you describe above.
- org-clock-sum
- Runs through headings in reverse order
- counts clock entries bottom up to headline
- adds a text property to the headline with total time
- need to find out if current heading is clocking
Yes, the alternative approach would be to *not* modify the regexp, but
to
check if org-clock-hd-marker points to the current headline and then
add the time since the clock started (in `org-clock-start-time') to
the appropriate
field in the ltimes vector before extracting the total time. So you
would do
this as the first thing when you find a headline, and the proceed
normally.
Sounds simpler than modifying the regexp and would not cause any
problems
with other incomplete clock entries that may have been left behind and
never
properly resolved......

- add entry for open clock time with closing time to get correct
total
- regexp needs to match open clock entries
- for open clock entry matches set time to zero
- reset time if this is the current clocking entry
I'll post the patch whenever it gets done.
Thanks!
