[edit] Estimate time

Not sure if this is the right medium to ask this with, but could there be a "recalculate estimated time" button? Projects I run underestimate my processor and all, and they think projects take longer than they do. I want to be able to select a task/project, click reestimate, and it will do ((time elapsed)/(percent done)) - time elapsed to recalculate time remaining.

This kind of suggestions should go to the forum.

Your suggestion doesn't make much sense, since the "estimated time" is recalculated every second. If a project is underestimating or overestimating, just wait for a few more tasks to be processed, and the "duration correction factor" will slowly change to compensate for the bad estimation.

[edit] Runnings

Under Tasks/Status, next to 'running' I get 'running, high priority'. Are there different types of 'running' ? If so, what are they, and what do they mean ? Can you alter them ?
