Avoiding open buffers when clocking in

Avoiding open buffers when clocking in

[Julian M. Burgos]

Dear list,

When clocking in at some particular task, org-mode opens all my agenda
files (I assume to check if there are dangling clocks).  I have many
agenda files, and I rather avoid opening tons of new buffers.  Is there any
way to make org-mode not check for dangling clocks in other agenda
files?  I only clock time in a single file (my journal.org file), so
I know already that there will not be dangling clocks in other files.

Or it is possible to automatically close the buffers *after* the check for dangling
clocks is done?

Many thanks,

Julian

If you're ok with disabling automatic clock resolution entirely, setting
org-clock-auto-clock-resolution to nil should work.

Thanks Kyle, I did not knew this one.  I was manually using this
function

(defun only-current-buffer () 
  (interactive)                                                                   
    (mapc 'kill-buffer (cdr (buffer-list (current-buffer)))))

to kill all buffers after clocking in, but your solution is simpler.

Actually, the solution is obvious... I should think before posting.

(defun my-org-clock-in ()
 "Clock in and close all unmodified buffers."
  (interactive)
  (org-clock-in)
  (mapc 'kill-buffer (cdr (buffer-list (current-buffer))))
)
