when i set a timer, it runs forward instead of backward, is that supposed to be?

Planka runs as Docker instance in version 1.10.1

What I think you mean to do is set "due date", not the timer.

I mean the "timer clock". It measures the time.... needed for tasks. Why would you count the time backwards? You need to find out how long it takes.

you could also run the time backwards for a task and thus see how much time remains until the due date.
But this function is used in Planka as "due date" and would therefore be duplicated.

As written, "Timer" means for me, you set hours, minutes, days whatever and the time runs backwards until this is expired. This function is called timer in my Iphone or about function in my Amazon Echo devices.

I just thought it was a "programming error" so it would have to be mentioned here.

Maybe "start time" would be a better term for it?

The function will be renamed to "Stop Watch" - also "Stopuhr".

(Anmerkung: Ein Zeitmesser ist es was ursprünglich gemeint war. Ein rückwärts zählender Timer in einem Projectmanagement Tool ist psychologisch so ungefähr das schlimmste was man anrichten kann. Tools dieser Art dienen zur Koordination und nicht um durch einen Countdown zusätzlich Zeitdruck aufzubauen. Den haben wir Projektmanager auch ohne genug. Druck erzeugt Stress und Stress erzeugt Fehler. 😁

@nickbe Ich freue mich sehr darüber, dass die Bezeichnung "Stop Watch" in die nächste Version von Planka aufgenommen wird. Für mich ist diese Bezeichnung viel nachvollziehbarer und ich denke, dass es auch für andere Benutzer verständlicher sein wird.
