[tw5] Re: Difference between two timestamps in elapsed time?

2021-07-27 Thread Saq Imtiaz
Hiya BTC,

It occurs to me that the format:relativedate[] operator could be extended. 
It currently calculates the date relative to now and does not accept any 
parameters. It could be extended to accept a parameter indicating the date 
to compare to, as well as perhaps a format string. The challenge would be 
getting the syntax right so it is intuitive to use.
Might be worth creating a github issue or even a PR if you feel up to it.

Regards,
Saq

BTC,

There are a few date range (time within thaT) calculation tools, the first 
that comes to mind is in Evans Formula plugin, Eric's timer tools may do it 
for you, I think there is another.

   - If its only today simple maths can be used (separate the hours and 
   minutes) unless it goes over the 00:00
   - Is can be safer to always use a full date serial number to cope with 
   more than one day or aging items.

I will let you know if I recall something else.
