Suggest elapsed time functionality

[Simon Tite]

Request for enhancement - this timer would be additionally useful if it could count upwards, i.e., start at zero, count elapsed time, allowing pauses.

Use case: Working on, say, three hourly paid jobs, could have three timers running, two paused, one counting up the seconds on the current job. Useful aid for billing, timesheet records, etc.

If this is not the right place to request enhancements, then please forgive me, and direct me to the appropriate place.

Yes, I'd like that too! It would be very handy for keeping track of volunteer work time I do on my PC.

OK, I already started this, and this will take me another night to have this finished.

Thanks, for reporting this issue!

Hello there,
I would like to ask something specific, like disabling the status icon progress of the elapsed time (the numerical progress is already implemented), in order to let you work without being able to notice at all how much time passed/remains, to reduce stress that can caused by that.It's a psychological factor only, but I would highly appreciate it, along with the functionality of running automatically the next timer, once the previous one reached zero.
Thank you very much

I am very,very busy in real life ATM. I already started it, but it still
needs work.

Anyway, it's nice you want this feature, so I will to work on this on the
weekend.

I also think a "stopwatch" functionality to the timer would be great. It's good to know you're already working on it. Thank you very much
