Allow stopping a timer via clock time

This app is great for the most part. I've been using a time tracker on my Palm for a long time and all I need are pretty basic things, which this app mostly supports.

One thing that I've found while using the Palm app is that I sometimes forget to stop my timer when I leave work in the evening. On my Palm app I could just go in and edit that task to stop at the time I remember leaving. With Time Tracker I can't do that. I can adjust the timer, but only to set the total number of hours and minutes. I usually don't know when I started timing something, so knowing the total time is impossible -- I just know what time I quit doing that task. So it would be great to be able to edit a task with a new ending time somehow.

Here's an example because that sounds somewhat confusing:

1. Some time in the afternoon I start a task.
2. I leave work around 5:30 but forget to stop the timer on the task.
3. Later (that evening or the next day) I notice that I forgot to stop the timer. I know I left around 5:30, but I have no idea when that afternoon I started the task. I want to set the time of the task correctly. How do I do that?

Re: Allow stopping a timer via clock time

A start time and end time would be a great enhancement as I too get myself into a similar situation.

Perhaps a System Parameter that controls the behavior of tapping an existing entry. If in StopWatch Mode, it would function as it currently does. Otherwise, a copy could be made similar to the Next Day functionality.

Re: Allow stopping a timer via clock time

I second that. It would also come in handy if you know specific start and end times of previous meetings. Of course it only takes a bit of math to figure out the duration yourself, but would be nice to have the option to enter start and end time.
