Hurrah! Another person using the $QHOUR property!!! I thought I was the only
one! I've been going through this same process (updating from v5.8.x to
v7.4.x), and found this same bug last month. They were using hour/15 instead
of minute/15, so if you wait until after 3 pm $QHOUR will resolve to 01. :)
I reported it, and Rainer fixed it straight away, and it is available in v7.4.4
which was released yesterday. I'm in the process of testing it out, and it
looks good to me thus far.
Cheers!
Robert
