This works now. (installed whats built now.)
only thing i could miss is if you want to enter a time fast and just hit the box and enter 12 for example. and hit enter. (to enter 12:00:00) but its entered as 00:00:12 can the input be right filled with 0 instead of left filled. also if you don't enter : maybe that can be filled in automatically?. so say you want to enter 15:45:00 just hit box. enter 1545 enter.

This is a good suggestion and I will make sure to prioritise it

when entering single hour digits i guess you'll need to enter 0 first in that case. otherwise it will be impossible to figure out what is the minutes.. say entering 01:45:00 would be 0145enter. that would be ok.

could the start time of a new event (push create event after) have start time already filled in with end time of prev event?
That would half the entrys for a linear show and kind of negate the need of single time events feature

The idea with a grapical time entry pop up was not wrong either. but should be a complement.

seems easy to enter times with. but might need to be tinkered with to allow "next" as time(or just allow to enter "next" in the textbox)

some ideas for layout with separate timepicker button

actually the boxes to enter time this timepicker uses behave in quite a nice way. they autofill : and such. but the timepicker does not support seconds. but maybe its less work to expand the time picker for that than to invent an own wheel

Several improvements as part of #88

Separators
You can use different separators between hh:mm:ss, namely , . : and space. this is meant to help time entry with keypads

A single numeric value is considered to be minutes
eg: 80 will return 1:20:00

Two numeric fields (one separator) are read as mm:ss
eg 1:1 will return 0:01:01

and more useful stuff, some keywords

  • entering keyword p, prev or previous will return the end time of the previous event
  • starting a time with + will add the time entered to the end of the previous event eg. +10 adds 10 minutes to the end of the previous event

I will leave the issue open to get some feedback
