Hey Paul– we’re working on a Focus Mode revamp that should work a LOT better and reduce our dependency on the vagaries of browsers. Sorry about the rough edges.

We’re testing a fix for the Mac that eliminates one of the major causes of un-attributed Chrome time. There’ll always be SOME (i.e. when you are in the middle of typing in a URL, opening a new tab, etc), but it SHOULD be down to 10-15 per day, TOPS. we’ll probably be pushing this fix within the next week or so.

Any update on this? Hard to evaluate without the website resolution. Thankfully it registers my chrome time as productive!

I’m using Chrome 5.0.307.9 on OSX 10.6.2, and having the same problem: despite lots of time on the web registering correctly, a plurality is simply “Google Chrome.”

It would save time, email, and frustration all round if the RescueTime team had a regularly updated status page for open issues like these. The blog posts are appreciated, but they’re too infrequent for those of us who are affected.

THis might be odd behavoir, but It gets the “extended info” right on all my tabs, but some (including this blog) It spits out “Unable to set window_title”

The other page is: http://informationarchitects.jp/ia3/

Facebook spits this out for extended info:
:3

Now if i go back and forth a few times on the tabs it gets it right again. (though not for the window title issue)

Though out of nowhere it has started to work again in most reporting (still get a bizarrely huge 2+ hours for Google Chrome, I don’t sit a new tab window or download window…

Hey Phil- can you try something just to confirm? Open up RescueTime preferences (on the machine that you’ve upgraded). Click on the status line… This will open up a secret debugging panel. Leave that open and then bring Chrome back into focus. When you do that, do you se information in the “window title” and “extended info” areas of the RescueTime debugging panel?

If not, can you let me know if you’re running any chrome extensions? We’ve got several macs with chrome here (same version) that are working flawlessly so far….
