Hi Sébastien,

I've been thinking about this again and I made up my mind with a clearer
argument.

If we go for the second solution, the next step would be to put the "ALL
Total time" into a different column than the "File time"... because it
can look illogical to have both in the same column, for the same reasons
it can look illogical to have a file's tasks times in the same column
than the "File time" itself.

So I'd rather stick to the current behavior, which I find more readable
in the sense that it adds less columns.  I hope you can explain this to
your collaborators :)

All best,
