Quite often, we will walk away from our desktops perhaps to answer a phone call or attend an impromptu meeting. The last thing we would remember to do is to stop our timer on the current task.
Well, now you no longer need to remember! The new beta of Worklog Assistant automatically detects when you are away from your machine and stops the timer on the active task. On your return, Worklog Assistant will tell you how long you were away for and ask whether you want to apply the away time to a JIRA task. This works great for those persistent little interruptions.
You can see the workflow in action here.
I think this is quite possibly the coolest new feature, especially the workflow upon return, and I would be very happy with feedback.

Hey Sohali,
Love the idle-time featuer. One strong suggestion though - I make ample use of the "Other issues" feature and that isn't available when the idle-time window pops up. Can you also add "Other issues" to that functionality?
Cheers,

Hi Geoff, glad you like it! I like it too :-)
It does not surprise me that this is what you would like. Would you mind adding a vote and comment here as well:

This way it is easier to track. The current plan is to have the same functionality for searching as the main window.
Can idle detection be made _optional_?
Also, is it possible to configure Set Start Time dialog to use 24hrs format?(Log Work dialog uses 24hrs)
Geoff, the latest beta has the changes you were asking for.
Vikarti, if you set the activity timeout to 0, that should disable the feature. As for setting dates to be in 24hr format, that is not currently possible.
