stretch --merge option

[Kirozen]

I think about a feature (available via an option of stretch command?):
I would like to stretch by modifying the last entry instead of adding a new one.
Is it possible?

It's possible, but is that desirable? I prefer that utt only appends to the log file (and not update it in place) to reduce the risk of corrupting the log file.

If you want, you could probably implement this as a plugin.

Hi,

If you don't want to update the log file, maybe the report command could group by identical consecutive rows in "Details" section ?

The "Projects" section give me a total but I often need to know the time passed on a task for a half day.

Given the realistic following example, after 2 "stretch" commands :

----------------------------------- Details ------------------------------------

(0h46) 08:57-09:43 Task Y
(2h19) 09:43-12:02 Task X
(1h58) 12:02-13:00 break **
(1h00) 13:00-14:00 Task Y
(3h22) 14:00-16:22 Task X
(1h05) 16:22-17:27 Task X
(1h03) 17:27-18:30 Task X

To get the afternoon time passed on "Task X", I generally manually edit the log file to remove duplicates lines but that's not an optimal workflow.
