Currently, when the user wishes to pause the timer for a particular activity, they must completely stop the activity.
This action clears the "hours worked" field in the "Current Activity" frame. It would be nice if
the current activity could be paused such that the "Hours Worked" field is not cleared and resumes when the
activity is resumed. This feature is helpful in cases in which the user needs to briefly halt an activity (i.e. for
a break), but plans on resuming the same activity after a short interval. With the pause feature, the user can quickly
see the cumlative amount of time spent on the current activity without having to look at the summary report.

This is an interesting idea.  However, if one performs an intervening
task, then the effective amount of time will not be shown--only
what has most recently been performed.

A similar and possibly more useful enhancement would be to show
the cumulative time for that activity on that day.  In this case,
"Started" might be changed to "Last Started"
and "Hours Worked" would show the cumulative total
for that day.

One of the things I've thought would be nice is if when Stop
button is pressed, the name remains in the Current Activity but
the other items are cleared as is the case now.  In addition,
the Stop button would change to a Start button.  This way, if
you're going to restart the same activity, you just click the
Start button.  This could work with either pausing or a cumulative
total for that day.
