I am talking about effort estimates - I'v missed this chapter for some reason from the manual. I like the idea you proposed - to show how much time is left in the mode line. And I think I am going to write necessary code for this. Or, may be someone has even better idea? best, Konstantin On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 11:25 AM, Daniel Clemente wrote= : > > Hi. > =A0I suppose you talk about estimated efforts.
