Is this incorrect time calculation?

[thevikas]

My gtime conf:

[gtimelog]
virtual_midnight = 03:00
report_style = categorized
edit_tasklist_cmd = /usr/local/bin/code
spreasheet =/usr/local/bin/code
editor = /usr/local/bin/code
mailer = /usr/local/bin/code

A snip of the timelog:

pwx: server total in the report is 0:14. While it seems should be 0:24. Is this a incorrect time calculation or is it due to virtual midnight affecting?

Yes, the blank lines in your log are inconsistent with the virtual_midnight setting.

The first entry after virtual_midnight gets an implicit **, so gtimelog thinks that you started work on the 23rd at 03:04 AM.

I have vague plans of making gtimelog warn about this, and also I have plans to change the timelog format so that it records historical values of virtual_midnight in comments so that parsing an old log wouldn't change if you adjust the virtual_midnight setting.
