Minutes and seconds #189

Hi,

Congratulations for speedcrunch, it's the best desktop calculator I've ever
seen!
I would like to suggest to implement support to work with minutes and
seconds when doing trigonometric operations and the degree mode is active.
For example, accept sin(30') to calculate sin of 30 minutes, or
sin(30'') (or sin(30")) to calculate sin of 30 seconds.

Cheers,
Alexandre

Sorry, it isn't a defect, but I don't know how to change it.

More generally, being able to manipulate numbers in sexagesimal format would be
useful: for example, adding or subtracting times is an operation I do sometimes 
when
I am preparing a recording or generally manipulating sound files. I suggest
sexagesimal could be a format just as currently SpeedCrunch recognizes binary, 
octal,
decimal and hexadecimal. How sexegesimal numbers should be written remains to be
defined, though. should 1 hour 2 minutes 3 seconds and 4 hundredths of seconds 
be
written 1°2'3"4 (closer to angle notation) or 1:2:3.04 (what ISO suggests for 
time)?

@davitofrg: wouldn't a specialized dock widget or whatever to calculate time 
fit the
purpose better?

Congratulations on a great project.
On the subject of minutes and seconds, in my work I do many calculations in 
Degrees, 
Minutes and Seconds. It is a pain to convert these to decimal first and an even 
greater oain to convert the result back to Degrees, Minutes and Seconds.
Is there any chance that input in Degrees, Minutes and Seconds could be added 
to 
SpeedCrunch.
Thanks, Ron

I too would love to have the ability to work in and convert from/to degrees, 
minutes, seconds, both for angular measures and time calculations. So, I'm just 
adding my support to this request.
Thanks, Peter, NZ
