When I set an effort while clocked in, C-c C-x C-e asks for an effort and formats it in a format I understand such as 00:30 or 1d. When not clocked in, I have to use C-c C-x e (no CTRL for the last one) and it doesn't seem to parse my entry for a timestamp or convert from 8h to 1d. For example, I can enter an effort of "aoeu" and it accepts that. 2) When clocked in and using C-c C-x C-e, the conversion seems buggy: I enter -> converted to 1d -> 08:00 2d -> 16:00 3d -> 1d 00:00 4d -> 1d 08:00 7d -> 2d 08:00 1w -> 1d 16:00 I get that 1 day is 8 hours, and 2d 8h == 1d 16h, but I'm still confused why 2d is 16h and 3d is 1d.

Hi,

I'm looking into effort and tim= e tracking and have a few questions about efforts,

1) What is the difference between C-c C-x C-e and C-c C-x e?

When I set an effort while clocked in, C-c C-x C-e ask= s for an effort and formats it in a format I understand such as 00:30 or 1d= . When not clocked in, I have to use C-c C-x e (no CTRL for the last one) a= nd it doesn't seem to parse my entry for a timestamp or convert from 8h= to 1d. For example, I can enter an effort of "aoeu" and it accep= ts that.

2) When clocked in and using C-c C-x C-e, t= he conversion seems buggy:

I enter -&g= t; converted to
1d -> 08:00
2d -> 16:= 00
3d -> 1d 00:00
4d -> 1d 08:00
7d -> 2d 08:00
1w -> 1d 16:00
I get that 1 day is 8 hours, and 2d 8h =3D=3D 1d 16h, but= I'm still confused why 2d is 16h and 3d is 1d.

Thanks,

=A0 =A0-k.
