Not capturing activities when a Keynote presentation is running!
I discovered today that Slife is not capturing any activity when I'm using Keynote in presentation mode! The screenshot below shows what I'm talking about - the time when I was running my presentation
Obviously this will be subject to actual activity and there may be a decent amount of idle time while I run my mouth instead of clicking, but it's COMPLETELY EMPTY for the 45 minutes of my class this morning and I know I changed slides a bunch of times! ;^)
I'm wondering if this is a function of it not properly DETECTING the activity because there's no window with a title bar... in which case maybe the answer is to manually set my activity before I go teach? Still... it would obviously be preferable for it to capture the data automatically.

Inappropriate?I have investigated further... if you manually set your activity, it WILL capture what you're doing.
Observation rate makes this a little wonky, though - I have mine set to 1 minute to save processor load and so if I don't advance a slide at the very moment it does the observation, it still doesn't capture any activity.
I'm wondering if some solution similar to what's been discussed regarding the watching of videos could be applied...
I’m indifferent

Inappropriate?Hello Sara - I think this is same video watching issue. Slife is expecting some type of activity, and since you are not being very active as far as the computer is concerned, it doesn't record your activities.
There are definitely some cases where Slife doesn't seem to respond too well, but are legitimate. We need to see what we can do about these!1 Comment

Yup, just adding another data point! If I want to track how much time I'm spending on teaching, I can always mentally add the actual class time, so it's not a HUGE deal for me, but I thought it would be helpful for you guys!
