I suppose the intention is to have "nice", exponentially increasing steps when moving the slider. There are some drawbacks, though: * The strings (1m, 1h, 1h45m, ...) are not localized. * No intermediate values can be selected. * What happens if the chosen value in the config does not match the ones available in the UI? Would it be possible to translate the linear values from the slider into an exponential time value, then print that using a locale aware function? If glibc is not sufficient, then GTK/glib might have something. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter.
