Having got a great deal of value from the Outlook addin I wrote for What-Am-I-Doing, I've written a similar addin for Visual Studio 2008. Lukily there was no changes to the What-Am-I-Doing application. The interface for collecting the information from Outlook was appropriate. All I had to do was write a similar addin that detected when the selected file changes and push that information to the What-Am-I-Doing interface.
The information pushed is the full path of the file being edited.
Anyone with a directory structure for their projects will be able to slip staight into createing rules that automatically allocate the time spent editing files in that project folder to a project.
Anyone without a directory structure that enables them to do this should be fired!
As an aside, the outlook addin I worte a while ago is succesfully allocating almost all of the time I spend on email to customers.
