    Note: you can already get a functional workaround for this with the idle-time notice in the preferences. It will bring up a pop-up after you come back to the computer that will allow you to stop the task at the time the computer previously shut down and to optionally restart it later.

    Keep in mind that many users may want to be able to track something while the computer is idle (to track non-computer tasks), and this feature allows that while an automatic halt does not.

    Do you still like want this option for automatic halt, given the existing idle time notice?

    Please add any comments below

    Yes, I still need this option since the other one does not work (in the current version 1.3.18): When I shut down my computer and restart I do not see any pop-up, whereas I do when the pc returns from hibernate mode.

    As my purpose is mostly tracking time on the pc I would also be happy with your solution, as soon as it functions correctly.
