Would be nice to be able to do simple math #43

For example:

(1314.65 * 3) mm to in

Just because I often have to jump back to the main Alfred calculator, copy the result, and then open again to plug that into the conversion.

The issue here is actually with the parentheses because this is supported out of the box. To illustrate:

But I suppose it should be possible to get it working with the parentheses as well. The short story is... simple multiplications/additions get simplified to a single number so typing 10 + 20 x automatically collapses to 30 x internally. But when you add parentheses it goes into math mode which also supports functions such as sine/cosine/etc. and in that mode it does not look at units anymore

The new version now also supports calculations for units:
