So is there a nice way to display and/or enter time in a column

I have been looking at the python number formatting strings, but its too full of unfamiliar terms for me to understand.

usage will mostly be for small time increments below 4 hours and probably consisting of lots of mins. ie 1h 30min, 45min, 1h 15min, that kind of thing, if it makes a difference.

I did notice that the up/down arrows seem only to change whole integers, wondering if that is set or can be changed... anyway if anyone has any thoughts on time entry please let me know.
I use a custom daytime column that (automatically) gets a 'Set to Today' (Really 'NOW') that updates the value to the second (Sorting order is the clue, even though you can't see the time)

Look in the (save to disk) template editor: format_modtimes for code clues
