Hello,

we're having a similar problem here (see below). we want to divide a one
day task into serveral subtasks. unfortunately we cannot do this as
expected. problem:

rounding error with hour task 
1H is represented as 0,1 days which isn't really accurate.
it should be 1/workinghours which would be 0.125 for an 8h working day.
2H is rounded down to 0,2 days and so on ...

this results in serveral task which occupy 6H beeing displayed as one
day. is it possible to change internal accuracy of that variable, since
this makes mr-project really unusable for planning smaller (sub)tasks ?

cya

Hi!

I just noticed that this mail doesn't seem to have been replied to yet.
If it has I'm sorry. (and otherwise sorry for not answering before).

You can add times by writing '4h' for example in the time entry.
