Not using ktimetracker at the moment, but I've used it in the past.
Just some user comments, then.

To me, "revert" implies cancelling everything out - setting to 0.  A
user needs either to stop - implying a fresh start later - or to pause
- - implying that the time is saved, and continues to update when the
pause button is clicked again (or a separate resume button if you prefer).

I hope these thoughts are useful to you.  I suspect that you are
actually thinking much the same way, but using terminology that I
think could confuse.

Good luck.

Anne
