Overlapping tasks visualization/warnings

bramborman

Often I have to change times of work units in the past for various reasons (for example because I realize I forgot to switch to another task at the right time). As I have to edit start and stop times on two units, it's kinda error prone so it would be nice if WorkingHours somehow visualize when more working units are overlapping and/or shown some kind of dismissable warning.

WorkingHours version: 2.6.11.0
Operating system: Windows

bramborman somehow visualize

Do you have an idea how that could be visualized?

This would maybe be even more useful when adding a working unit manually (without timer) as one may unintentionally add it to for example incorrect day etc.

timo Maybe some warning triangle like this: ⚠ and/or a different background? For both the work unit groups (day, week, month etc. based on settings) and the overlapping units.

I would even challenge if there should be a configuration to disable overlapping at all. In this case, it would be required to amend /delete other entries as soon as the user is manually changing an entry. I found this behavior in timeular quite helpful. Maye timeular is a good place for reference, how it works.
