How can I tell the difference between time I was idle and time that Rescue Time wasn't running (or logging was disabled -- same thing, to me).
You might ask why I care. My work habit is such that I login in the morning, and logout at night. So if I look at the "8 AM" hour and see that I did 10 minutes of "work" I don't know if that means I didn't start work until 8:50 AM or if I started work at 8:00 AM and then got pulled away from the computer.
My point is, there's an important difference between the time that Rescue Time is running and knows I'm idle vs the time that Rescue Time is not running.
Is there any chance of tracking idle time as a separate category?
I'm really interested in the amount of time the computer is just sitting there and doing nothing. THAT is what is really costing me money.
Till resuce time starts supporting direct integration with mail clients such as outlook etc, If rescue time can allow users to define working hours and setup time limit beyond which the idle time shows up in rescue time as idle times. Now user can tag these and include them in the reports. For example if I define my working time as 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM IST as working hours and 15 mins as the time limit then I will be able to see all the idle time beyond 15 mins in a separate place. Later on I can tag them as meeting or based on the meeting tag them accordingly to show up in tagged reports. This can be used by anybody whose Calendars are not integrated with rescue time.
