Yes it does thanks. I found the logic that uses the regexp for parsing
the times and summing them in reverse up to the headline in
org-clock-sum. I haven't modified the regexp yet but was planning
something similar to what you describe above.
- org-clock-sum
- Runs through headings in reverse order
- counts clock entries bottom up to headline
- adds a text property to the headline with total time
- need to find out if current heading is clocking
- add entry for open clock time with closing time to get correct total
- regexp needs to match open clock entries
- for open clock entry matches set time to zero
- reset time if this is the current clocking entry
I'll post the patch whenever it gets done.
Thanks!
Bernt
