Time Format Extension - Millis to [HH:mm:ss] - [days + HH:mm:ss] - [HH:mm] - [mm:ss] etc

Anke · May 26, 2020, 11:47am

Here is an extension to format the time / duration (millis) in different ways:
→ [ HH:mm:ss ] → [ days + HH:mm:ss ] → [ HH:mm ] → [ mm:ss ] → etc.

This is asked very often and always requires a lot of questions / answers and posts in the forum.
(Last here: Creating a Chronometer - #17 by PizzaGuy07)

Hence this extension (some of it can also be implemented with the on-board methods, but I want to simplify it:):

Version 1 (May 20, 2020):
TFormat.aix (5.5 KB)

Version 2 (Oct 20, 2021):
TFormat2.aix (5.7 KB)

Thank you for the little extension that reduces my app by a few blocks

I added a new version of this extension:

Hi Anke
can I ask you a question?
How can I change the description of the Time Format?
For example I would like to change the result "DDD days + HH:mm:ss" with "DDD giorni, HH ore, mm minuti, ss secondi" (...yes, in Italian language).

E.g. from "320 days + 18:51:34" to "320 giorni, 18 ore, 51 minuti, 34 secondi"
or similar as "giorni 320 e ore 18:51:34"

Is it possible?

Thank you in advance for your answer

Hi @Anke,

Is it possible to convert YearsDaysHoursMinSec back to millis? Or do I just use:

Thank you.

It looks like something that would be worth adding to the extension at some point, considering the number of blocks required.

Anke · November 23, 2022, 10:23am

Why? That is not the purpose of the extension. Read the topic.
And by the way, there are blocks in the Clock component for that.

foetusmachine · November 23, 2022, 10:40am

No worries. Just suggesting a broader purpose.

I'll probably be using the clock component.

Is there a way, using this extension, to have the time counting continue even after I close the stopwatch app, when I open it it continues to count until I decide to stop and reset it, so that it counts?
