Set clock table duration format for emacs org-mode

Question

I recently upgraded to org-mode 8.2.5h and now when I update my clock tables, values that are larger than 24h get for instance displayed as: 1d 9:16. Is there any preference I can set to switch it back to the hours:minutes format. I've searched the documentation but could not find any information regarding this topic.

Answer 1

You should now use org-duration-format : (setq org-duration-format (quote h:mm)) for your question.

See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2017-02/msg00270.html for explanations.

Answer 2

Apparently you can set the org-time-clocksum-format variable like this:

(setq org-time-clocksum-format (quote (:hours "%d" :require-hours t :minutes ":%02d" :require-minutes t)))

Answer 3

• Before Org-Mode Version 9.1

You can set the org-time-clocksum-format variable like this :

(setq org-time-clocksum-format (quote (:hours "%d" :require-hours t :minutes ":%02d" :require-minutes t)))

• Org-Mode Version 9.1 and up

You should now use org-duration-format :

(setq org-duration-format (quote h:mm))
