In other words, I'm not interested in keeping track of how much time I spent on Task 1, or any of the sub-tasks, I'm only interested in the time I've spent on working on My Project. Is there anyway to do this?C-c C-x C-d will total time for a task including times on a subtask. -BerntHi Bernt, I saw this option in the manual, but this is not quite what I want. What I'd like to be able to is clock in from any sub-task and be clocked into the *top-level* task, not the task I'm clocking in from. Is that feasible? Or am I too confusing?There is nothing I'm aware of that is built in which will accomplish what you want. You might be able to use the org-clock-in-hook and custom lisp code to clock in the top-most parent task.Indeed, this is not implemented, and I have a hard time seeing why this would be desirable? Summing i always hierarchical, so the time will be shown in the parent time anyway.
Thanks for the reply, Carsten (and Bernt of course).The reason why I'm asking is I started out with clocking tasks using a really simple setup (I consider myself a bloody org newbie) where I only had level 1 tasks. Now, I've added level 2 and level 3 tasks, and I wondered if my sudden clocking of level 2 tasks would screw up the clock summary.
Good to know that it won't, this'll help me in using org more effciently. Thanks for org-mode, btw, it's a really great thing! Markus
