Improve Interpretation of Estimate Time from Task Name #3420

Open FlysonBot opened 2 months ago

FlysonBot commented 2 months ago

Problem Statement

When I create a task "Homework 30m", I created the task "Homework" with 30 minutes as estimated time.

I can do the same with "Homework 1h", but I can't do the same with "Homework 1h 30m", "Homework 1.5h", or "Homework 1h30m". I have to use "Homework 90m", which is fine but less convenient.

:grey_question: Possible Solution

Improve the interpretation. Allow interpretation of decimals such as 1.5h, and combination of hours and minutes such as "1h 30m" or "1h30m".

Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!

I think that time notation is currently not usable anywhere - not the estimates, not the time spent in task details nor the parsing from the description.

I constantly struggle with this, I'm way too used to referencing time as fractions of hours from other tools. When I try to put an estimate or time spent in this way, i.e. 1.5h, only the "1h" is saved, nothing behind the decimal point. For tasks where the estimate/spent is under 1 hour, i.e. 0.25h it is saved as 0 and thus effectively deleted from the task.

I might dedicate some precious time to poke around this (it is truly annoying and I want this to work) if someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks @Malanius ! I would really appreciate this. And I also agree that something like 1.5hshould be supported.
