Vaughan I think I just fixed most of the wrapping problems but I still seem to see it on the Timer Record. As you say, it's pretty irrelevant anyway. But when I win the lotto I might want to record for 99 days, whilst I'm off on holiday! (Not that I'll be back for 99 days to listen to it!)

Regarding the wrap at n-1, it's so intuitive to put 60 for the minutes and seconds, and 24 for hours. And who's got a hard drive, and desire, to record for 99:23:59:59 anyway, when 98:23:59:59 is enough for most of us? ;-) -Vaughan Mar...@ao... wrote: > Vaughan > > OK, so it's not quite like Dominic suggested, but I've added 'days' to the > Duration TimeTextCtrl in the SmartRecordDialog.
