discussion / #1719

To explain the current behavior, I have to explain a little bit. The default procedure was booking efforts as Start/End-Time where as the start-time was always the end of the last booked effort (or 10a.m. in the morning). This worked very well for me, because I just do...

1. Right-Click on a task or project and says "book new effort"
2. enter a comment
3. click enter

The booked time is normally correct on continues booking of efforts.

The new method was a feature request of a company that is very serious about privacy of their employes and they only wanted Duration in Hours. I found this argumentation logically. if duration mode is on, the start / end time is NOT stored as if starting from midnight.

Adding an option to toggle both methods was a simple but stupid result of both. A javascript method to chose between the method on the fly would work best, e.g:

1. get last effort-style of project or last effort style over all
2. let user choose between the style by an option in the edit dialog

Maybe you have some more detailed suggestion, on how this editor should look like. I am experimenting with jquerry. So this might be a good place to start playing...
