[fysiks]

This is completely wrong and shouldn't be used by anyone.

The time 3:15 (3 minutes, 15 seconds) is 3.25 minutes. As others mentioned, time should be stored in a plugin as seconds. When you need to use time as an input or
output, you can convert it to/from the colon notation (as a string).

I recommend that you either convert this thread to functions for doing the conversion to and from the colon notation or remove the thread entirely so that people new to plugin scripting aren't confused.
