Option to not record sites/apps visited for less than t seconds.

Hi! I think you should be able to give a time threshold for recording data. For example, if you quickly alt tab to the Windows calculator to make a calculation, and then alt-tab, then if you spend less than a certain amount of time (say, 20 seconds--this should be set by the user, either globally, or for each application/site) in the calculator, it should just dump that time into the old app. For example, I might be writing something in Word and tag it as Work, but if I quickly alt-tab for a few seconds, RescueTime should pretend I was in Word the whole time (unless I set my global "time to record" to 0).

So, to recap:

Let's say I'm goofing off and am on Reddit, and I click a click, look at it, and close it. I might be on it for four seconds, but I don't want my history clouded (and I don't want to manually delete it), so instead I have a setting that says "it takes 10 seconds of using an app/site before that site/app will be recorded." Additionally, there should be a setting that says "For the previous 'time-to-record' setting, record that time used in the previous app/site." So for example, if I went off Reddit for a few seconds and decided the site is not interesting, then having "Yes" marked for that second option would put those couple of seconds into Reddit's time, rather than adding a whole new untagged site that I've been on for four seconds.

Thanks!
