Hi all, I have a bunch of TODO items connected with LaTeX files (in general: projects) I'm working on. I was wondering whether it might be possible and/or wise to set things up so that I could clock in (C-c C-x C-i) in a buffer containing such a file. Currently, executing org-clock-in in a non-Org buffer results in an error (at least with my setup); with a prefix argument, everything is fine, I'm asked for one of the last clocked items. My dream is that I can clock in my buffer with just C-c C-x C-i, and Org somehow could know which item to clock. I imagine file-local variable might be the way to go. It might be a good idea to both change/advise org-clock-in to accomodate for this use case, and define something like org-associate-file-with-org-headline-for-the-purpose-of-clocking to e.g. ask for the item (from org-clock history), or use the refile interface (which I haven't used, but I guess it could work well) and set the file-local variable accordingly.
Also, this might allow for "automated clocking", i.e., advising switch-buffer or something so that when I switch to a buffer belonging to some project, clocking on it starts automatically. Does there exist something like this? Do you like this idea? Does it have any pitfalls I cannot see? Would anyone but me use this? If the answers are no, yes, no, yes, I might try to implement it when I have some time to spare (i.e., not now - I'm extremely busy during this week - but maybe in a week or two) Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University
