Break timer gets paused when MacBook goes to sleep #25
Comments
Try the latest release! |
Tested the new v3.4.0 release. Timer works with absolute time as expected. Thanks. |
Would it be possible to have the timer use non-absolute time in a work session, and absolute time in a break session? Or would that be too inconsistent behaviour? I'm trying to figure out if that would be better than the current new behaviour. Work session with non-absolute time Example scenario: The user has to leave immediately in between a work session due to an emergency. So the user just closed the MacBook, and then comes back later. Work timer resumes from where it paused (due to sleep) and user continues the work session for the remaining time. Ideally, the user should start a new timer if they wish to follow Pomodoro technique properly, but having a choice in that matter would be great for end users. Break session with absolute time
I think the key point is that a user's work time should be conserved, but not their break time. That's why it might be better to pause the timer when the MacBook goes to sleep during a work session, and not pause the timer when the MacBook goes to sleep during a break session. Let me know what you feel about this. |
Steps to Reproduce
Device: MacBook Pro (2021)
Optional: Reduce work interval timer to reach next step faster
Note: Your MacBook's sleep timer must be less than the break timer so that the MacBook goes to sleep while the break timer is still active
Observed Behaviour
Check the app's timer, and it will still be in break mode since the break timer got paused when the system when to sleep
Expected Behaviour
Break timer should not have been paused.
Note: A Similar issue does not happen when the work timer is running, since the MacBook does not go to sleep when the work timer is running.
