Lawrence -- I didn't test the patch, but it looks like it's hard coded to treat 24 hours as 1 day, 168 hours as 1 week, etc. This seems like it would create more confusion than there was before. In the context of measuring effort I think it's far more common to treat, e.g, 8 hours as the equivalent of a day's work. Most people have 5 day works weeks, but some don't. Etc. In any case, giving user ability to set their own conversion factors seems like a much-needed part of this. -- Herb _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
