Auto-Pause, when activated, automatically places TimeSlice in Pause mode after a set number of minutes of inactivity, or when the cursor is moved to a screen “hot-spot.”  If you have two monitors, the hot-spots refer only to the main monitor (the monitor that has the menu bar).

 




















In the example above, if there is no mouse movement or keys pressed within 5 minutes, all active TimeSlice documents go to pause mode.  Afterwards, if the mouse is moved, or a key pressed, the previously active documents return to tracking mode.

If “Add idle time to paused time” is checked, the idle time is added to the paused time and subtracted from the elapsed time when pause mode is activated.  For example, if TimeSlice goes into pause mode after 5 minutes of inactivity, the pause time is increased by 5 minutes and the elapsed time is decreased by 5 minutes.

If “Auto-Pause front window only” is checked, only the frontmost TimeSlice window will pause.
