But..... I've just been reading about 'flow', and the bottom line seems to be, a 30 second interruption probably means 15 minutes to get back in the groove - if you can. This makes workrave seem like a flow killer - 'hey it's time for a break right now! If you want to postpone it, stop and think about it and fiddle or put up with annoying buzzers!'<br> <br>One alternative that occurs to me is to have a small window or animated icon that would let me see what my status is at those moments when I have a natural pause between tasks. I should only get seriously interrupted if I ignore the more subtle warnings for 'too long'.<br> <br>Here's my idea for visual status cues:<br><br>* sleeping baby = all good<br>* crying baby = you need a 30 second break<br>* old man = you need a 5 minute exercise/stretch break<br>* atomic bomb/the mummy/ regular workrave warning stuff = man you have no self-control, take a break right now, really!<br> * click on the icon/window= take break now.<br><br>It could be animated in a way to become more and more distracting as the time between breaks becomes more and more critical - baby wakes up and looks around, morphs into Winston Churchill.<br> <br>I have no perspective on whether this is really a good idea or not. But yesterday it seemed that whenever I had a good idea or a crisis that needed immediate attention, workrave would immediately pop up.<br><br>Let me emphasize that I still love workrave and have no intention of turning it off.

If the restbreak has a larger break duration than the <br>microbreak, the microbreak will reset during the restbreak (because you are <br>idle during the restbreak). <br><br>Furthermore, If a restbreak is due withing (i think) 30 seconds after a <br>microbreak, Workrave will skip the microbreak and give a restbreak instead. <br>So you will not get a restbreak immediately after a microbreak. <br><br>> The situation is that assume I have a mini-break scheduled every 10 <br>> minutes;if I have my 5 minute normal break done, I don't want a mini-break 1 or 2 <br>> minutes after that. The "big" break should reset the "small" break so that its <br> > timer restarts when the big break is over, too. <br><br>How long are you microbreak? Normally your microbreak will reset during the 5 <br>minute restbreak. <br><br>Groetjes, <br>   Rob <br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br>Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval <br>Try the new software tools for yourself.

<br><br>The issue is that sometimes when working to a tight deadline I need to <br>suspend Workrave, but then I forget to reenable it until far too late. <br>(What would be ideal would be a command to “suspend Workrave for the <br>next 2 hours only”.)  So I'm trying to set up a cron job that will <br>notice the bad setting and fix it automatically.  But Workrave ignores <br>gconf changes to this particular setting. <br><br>Thanks for any suggestions you may have! <br><br>-- <br>Joe <br><br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br>The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation <br>Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business <br>Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts <br>Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. <br><a href="http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com</a><br>_______________________________________________ <br>Workrave-user mailing list <br><a href="http://old.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=post&post=27377824&i=0" target="_top" rel="nofollow">Workrave-user@...</a> <br><a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/workrave-user" target="_top" rel="nofollow">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/workrave-user</a><br><p>From forum: <a href="http://old.nabble.com/workrave-user-f3879.html" embed="fixTarget[3879]" target="_top" >workrave-user</a></p> tag:old.nabble.com,2006:post-26966193 Re: configure the workrave to alert only if i'm using my computer continuously?

If, on the other hand, you unlock your computer within 30 <br>seconds from the moment you locked it, then the timer will not be reset. <br>Nor should it be, in my opinion. <br><br>Does this help? <br><br>Groetjes, <br><br>Kees-Jan <br><br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br>This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community <br>Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support <br>A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy <br>Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers <br><a href="http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev</a>  <br>_______________________________________________ <br>Workrave-user mailing list <br><a href="http://old.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=post&post=26953005&i=0" target="_top" rel="nofollow">Workrave-user@...</a> <br><a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/workrave-user" target="_top" rel="nofollow">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/workrave-user</a><br><p>From forum: <a href="http://old.nabble.com/workrave-user-f3879.html" embed="fixTarget[3879]" target="_top" >workrave-user</a></p> tag:old.nabble.com,2006:post-26952975 Re: configure the workrave to alert only if i'm using my computer continuously? 2009-12-29T02:21:00Z 2009-12-29T02:21:00Z Riyaz Mohammed Ibrahim A <div>Thanks for the info Kees-Jan,</div><div><br></div><div>My question is bit different.</div><div><br></div><div>Whenever i relogin/unlock my timers should get reset, say i set micro break for every 5 min, my current timer time is 2 min, now if lock my computer and come back after 1 min this timer should reset back to 0, since i already took reset and i need rest only after 5 min.</div> <div><br></div><div>Am i clear?</div><br clear="all">--<br>Riyaz Mohammed Ibrahim<br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 2:48 PM, Kees-Jan Dijkzeul <span dir="ltr"><<a href="http://old.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=post&post=26952975&i=0" target="_top" rel="nofollow">kees-jan.dijkzeul@...</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> What you describe is workrave's default behaviour: If you do not use the<br> computer for longer than whatever your break duration is, then the timer<br> gets reset.<br> <br> Just to be sure, open the preferences window, and make sure that for<br> each of the three break types (micro-break, rest break and daily limit),<br> the checkbox for "suspend timers when inactive" is checked.<br> <br> Other than that, workrave should work as you request.

You have to do this for all three timers <br>separately. <br><br>Groetjes, <br><br>Kees-Jan <br><br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br>This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community <br>Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support <br>A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy <br>Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers <br><a href="http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev</a>  <br>_______________________________________________ <br>Workrave-user mailing list <br><a href="http://old.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=post&post=26815487&i=0" target="_top" rel="nofollow">Workrave-user@...</a> <br><a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/workrave-user" target="_top" rel="nofollow">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/workrave-user</a><br><p>From forum: <a href="http://old.nabble.com/workrave-user-f3879.html" embed="fixTarget[3879]" target="_top" >workrave-user</a></p> tag:old.nabble.com,2006:post-26813961 Strange Timer Behaviour - No Break Prompts (Help Request) 2009-12-16T08:23:54Z 2009-12-16T08:23:54Z Way - K <html> <head> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> Hi,<br><br>I just installed WorkRave on my Windows XP laptop and it doesn't seem to be working properly.<br><br>The timers displayed in the little countdown window are behaving erratically.
