I suggest to give comprehensive input widgets and a very verbose direct
feedback line.
Hmm, an 'adjust' section would be nice; so adding 30 days does not require
you to calculate the amount of weeks or months..
What about the attached UI file :)
I think that is a wonderful way to edit durations!
What it should look like (functionality)
The top label is adjusted continuesly to show the current duration.
The 'less then a day' and 'amount of days' can be edited by the user and
the top label should change. The input field should get a custom made
input verifier to make sure only digits and the chars 'dwy' for day, week
year can be entered.
The 'adjust time' field can be used to add or subtract time of the current
duration.
The 'ok' should then clean the spinbox so dubble-clicking does nothing.
Naturally the ok should also update the top-label and the 'amount of days'
lineedit
Hope you like it.
