Feature request: Fractional hours

[clawoflight]

Could you maybe allow fractional hours? That should be easier than adding minutes, and I don't think anyone will want granularity beyond ½ hour.

I suppose that this would only require changes in the input parsing, but maybe your graph formatting would need changes too.

In any case, this is just an idea and it can wait.

I might contribute if I have time once your code is a bit more clean and stable :)

@clawoflight Could you explain the use case for smaller-than-hour tasks? I think allowing too granular selection of duration could potentially lead users to try to micro-manage the tasks too much.

I realize I speak in the mindset of planning a larger project, where tasks with very small duration don't belong, as it would only make it really challenging to keep a high level overview of the project.

@pedrokost I wouldn't use it for smaller-than-hour tasks, but for smaller-than-hour aspects of tasks (adding categories to existing tasks).

That would allow tracking of categories that usually don't take a lot of time for one task, but accumulate greatly when they appear in a lot of places. E.g.: documentation, refactoring, testing, updating the wiki, things like that.

I am fully aware of the target audience you have in mind and don't have a problem if this is out of scope :)

@clawoflight https://github.com/pedrokost/STProjectPlanner/commit/56d03b1729abd2debc621df55d62a149664d159e adds the possibility to use minutes as the smallest units. The month key is now M and the minute key m.

Also some of the previous commits include breaking changes. I suggest you wait until the next major release before trying it out.

cool, thanks!
