Thanks for clarifying; I understand now.

> say that I dont' like the way it works, generally. You've got to click a button to say when you start and when you finish, or you can see every software you've been using during all the day, but for me the problem is that there's in fine always something to manage at the end of the day and I must have to said that for my part I don't want to vast time looking for counting hours, I just want a result and that's it.

With Time Sink, you can create a pool called CIA, and drag any documents related to that work into that pool. They will then be tracked automatically. You only need to do this once per document; Time Sink will remember them even after they're closed.

We probably won't add folder time tracking, because that's a much more complex task, and it goes beyond what we imagined Time Sink's usage to be.

To be better understood, I was thinking something very simple, I will 
give you an exemple :
I've got my file named "work to do for CIA", I ask a software to track 
the time for every documents inside of it, like microsoft word, 
indesign, text edit, and he will just put attention on those files 
inside the folder "work to do for CIA" not the others, when I'm working 
on it. It could be a greate feature, that I've never seen before... I 
personnaly doesn't care about the time I will put to read or write an 
email, for me this time doesn't need to be mentionned... I just want to 
know the time when I'm working on a file, not the extra... It 's very 
strange because every developer makes similar software about the 
subject, and I've got to say that I dont' like the way it works, 
generally. You've got to click a button to say when you start and when 
you finish, or you can see every software you've been using during all 
the day, but for me the problem is that there's in fine always something 
to manage at the end of the day and I must have to said that for my part 
I don't want to vast time looking for counting hours, I just want a 
result and that's it.

If it give you ideas and you maybe thinking about doing something 
similar to my request, please let me know...

Thanks Nicolas

When will you make something to tracktime on files into a folder ?
That's years that I'm waiting for this implementation... As I'm a
grafic designer working alone it will be very useful. More than
sharing calendar as there is already many apps for doing this... I'm
just trying your software, I was using this software but I've stopped
to use it cause I'm just bored about cliking to manage when or when
I'm not working anymore...

Thanks
