A bug is already filed about this. I set it up to tick every second, 'cause I like it that way. Maybe I could add a specific button to only show minutes (only updating every minute). It'd be nice to do that automatically based on the date format you've given, but that might be too tricky. Then again, I guess it's only a matter of checking the presence of %c, %N, %r, %s, %S or %X. There'd be no point in checking for hours only (without minutes). If you can think of a way to reduce CPU usage while showing seconds, I'd be glad to know. Also if you can advise on any obvious way of reducing the memory footprint, that'd be handy too. Drew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
