Time Graph Doesn't Account for Increment

I've been using SCID vs. PC for a few months now and am really growing to like it as I learn how to use a lot of its features. One thing, though, that I recently learned is that when switching the Graph to show the time taken on each move, it doesn't account for the increment part of the game's time control.
I'd like to be able to see how much time I spent on each move, but since the 'time per move' bar graph only seems to be taking the difference between %clk values (and not accounting for the increment), I have to manually add in the increment myself in my head when looking at the graph.
It would be nice if the graph would account for these increments, but if not as the normal behavior, at least be enabled via an option.
Thoughts?
The increment is harder to handle because it is in the PGN header only, afaik.
Is there a single method for showing the time increment in the header , or multiple ways of doing it. What are these methods / PGN tags ?

After a quick search the PGN tag in question is "TimeControl", but there seems to be conflicting ways of utilising it. :(
Looking at the PGNs for my games on LiChess and chessl.com, they both use the same format:
[TimeControl "2700+45"]
Ok - i have coded this feature in subversion revision 3200.
It is not a big change, so possibly windows users could make the change to scid.gui to test it out. cheers.
Cool deal. How do I go about installing this revision and testing it?
My current version of Scid doesn't have the /tcl/tools folder, so I did the "browse code at this revision", downloaded the snapshot, and copy and pasted it into my Scid vs PC folder. Upon restarting Scid, I still didn't see it accounting for the increment.
Sorry for the basic question; in case you can't tell, I'm not that familiar with SourceForge / open source stuff.
