Hi

I just had an idea which might be very useful to have in KCalc:

It would be cool if there is a special mode for calculating with hours and minutes (and seconds perhaps).

e.g.: 1:53 + 0:31 = 2:24

What do you think about that feature? Or is it still implemented and I just can't find it?

Have a nice weekend
Pietz

I think this is a bit out of scope of kcalc..

Hi,

> ------- I think this is a bit out of scope of kcalc..

Maybe, but you can also set the base (decimal, hex, ...). So I think 
it would be a cool feature to have an hour-minute-calculator, why 
not? You don't have to use it but you could if you want to...

My hardware calculator has this functionality and it was also on of its 
advanced functionallities I had to use much in school.

??, it seems there's a bug in bugzilla as I did nothing...?? (I already saw 
before that bugs.kde.org said I confirmed a bug, while I didn't confirm it (I 
even don't have the rights to confirm bugs!) :s )

I lowered the number of votes a bug needs to be automatically confirmed to 41, i.e. at least 3 people are required to turn a bug from UNCO to NEW. Your bug has 65 votes, so its status changed.

Regarding the bug: It will not be fixed in KDE-3.3 (no time, alpha-release has already happened). Maybe I'll implement it for KDE-3.4. I think the feature is nice, but I have to think about making some stable framework, because I would also like to implement fractions and complex numbers...

Yes, but the issue is that I'm just one of the _voters_ and not the reporter 
or hacker from Kcalc...and bugzilla says that I changed it to new... :s

Base 60 is also quite useful when working with angles.

Most pocket calculators know how to convert between the decimal and sexagesimal systems. (30,2625° = 30°15'45").
Comment 9 Andreas Pietzowski 2009-07-12 19:18:24 UTC
There is still no progress in that feature? Come on, it's an easy task to implement somethng like

3h 20min + 1h 45 min

which should also be entered as

3.2+1.45

The solution should be 5,05 or 5h 5min.

I could also start coding this if someone will integrate that afterwards.

Thanks
Andreas

No, there is still no time-calculator in kcalc.
