Option to remain logged-in when idle #6

When you are working - and clock is ticking down to auto-timeout, it would be nice to have SOME way of preventing this - like [preferably] hitting a button or even re-swiping RFID.

It sucks to watch the clock count down when you're not ready to run - knowing that you'll have to re-badge-in in 15 seconds.

Yes - this one is easy and I've been meaning to do it. I think I will allow a button press to restart the countdown.

Re-swiping RFID would at least prevent coat-tailing but I think it's probably a bit too inconvenient to be worth it. We can also increase the default timeout on the particular tool if it seems a bit too short.

Fixed, any user may now simply press the blue button when logged in to reset their idle timer to the value configured by [Personality] TimeoutSeconds in the config file.
