The autotracking feature doesn't seem to work. It's very useful, as it was stated in [a Charmtimetracker bug report](https://github.com/KDAB/Charm/issues/348): ------------------------------- KTimeTracker has a very useful feature: virtual-desktop related time tracking. That way you can use different workspaces for different tasks, and automatically track how much time you spend on them :-). One good idea is having e.g.: – One virtual desktop for working. – One virtual desktop for reading the news. – One virtual desktop for studying. – One virtual desktop for leisure time. So you can keep the time you spend working, or reading the news, etc. easily (without having to start/stop tasks throughout the whole day!). Perhaps it may help: - the source code of KTimeTracker (https://cgit.kde.org/ktimetracker.git/), - [Get current Virtual Desktop - number/name/tag/id](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/23565/get-current-virtual-desktop-number-name-tag-id) - https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/dw6hz/timing_virtual_desktop_usage/ ------------------------------- By the way, the "ChangeLog" file still says "KTimeTracker 5.0 (release date: ?)", and it could be updated.
Desktop tracking works for me. Switching to another task happens after about 5 seconds, but this is by design. Are you using KDE Plasma for virtual desktops?

Here :-), after switching to another virtual desktop: the task is not started automatically, even after waiting a minute. The settings are the default ones (except what's related to the new two tasks). I attach a screenshot. > Are you using KDE Plasma for virtual desktops? Yes, under the latest Kubuntu version (Kubuntu 19.10). And merry Christmas and a happy new year! :-)
P.S. Sometimes the autotrack behaves correctly, for example: When I go to the first virtual desktop, then the task named "work" is automatically started, and when I go to the second virtual desktop, then the task named "work" is automatically stopped. Strangely enough, when I go to the second virtual desktop, the task named "news" is not automatically started.
It seems to work nowadays, thanks!
