Thanks, but will there be some helper function to migrate the old customizations? I didn't even remember that I had customized this variable until I couldn't clock in or out anymore (I remember now that I customized it so it would record durations in hours, not days/hours). >> Also, I find the documentation to be completely impenetrable. > > Great. Suggestions welcome. I'd first need to understand what the options there really mean. It seems that the variable can be set to just a symbol or (maybe) a string or a list of conses. The conses form refer to org-duration-units, but there the units are all defined as strings and no mention of the symbol special that apparently is another possibility. I don't really see why you'd mix symbols and strings in the same position. I have no idea what "mixed mode" is supposed to be and what happens if I specify both (special . h:mm) and ("h" . nil) for instance. Is the order of these important? >> Customization has offered to create a setting for org-duration-format >> that's not even mentioned in the documentation. > > Would it be possible, by any chance, to get a glimpse of that setting? I've set it to the symbol h:mm (shown as H:MM in customize) via the value menu in customize. I might read the documentation incorrectly, but to me it seems to say it should be the string "h:mm" instead. I'm left to wonder if (h:mm) is the same or different from ((special . h.mm)).
