It seems like people get used to that when they work in environments that requires them to submit time cards. Personally, I just find it annoying to look at the agenda view and see a meeting I attended listed as 13:02-14:07 :-) >> For other purposes I would stay with the exact value (which of course >> is still possible in Alex version) > > Likewise, I would stay with the exact value but still like the idea of > being able to do something different. I tried to change it in a way that would not affect the existing functionality. I also looked at all the calls to current-time (in the 4.01 version I started with) and only modified the ones that were relevant. I did not look at 4.09/4.10 yet. Alex.
