So don't know what people generally think but when pressing 'Continue' I would assume that it goes onwards from this 00:10. But it starts to go down... 00:-09, 00:-08...

So this is a little bit wierd behaviour. Althought I think the idea is good and maybe someone would need that kind of functionality. But maybe the 'Continue' label should be changed or there could be 2 button 'Continue' and something like 'go to 0' or so... So this is usability issue in my mind.

And the minus sign goes a little bit funny place... maybe -00:09, -00:08... or then just leave the minus out. You don't have the minus when pressing for reset - 1 min - Start.

(Altought I'm not sure if you are going to develop this further than just to get the idea to build a sw to N900 or if you want people to test this - but this just came to my mind)

Cheers,

Thanks for trying this out and reporting the issues.

I originally had it only countdown and the stop at 00:00. However ,yesterday I added a feature that it would start counting up afterwards, so that one could see the amount of the overtime. But I obviously did not think of my "clever" Continue feature, so they are not working nicely together.

What I'm going to do now, is that I will restrict the Continue feature only for countdown. This should also fix the strange minus signs.
