WhenFinder quickly answers questions like:
- "When is 8 weekends from now?"
- "Is 100 days from now a Monday or a Tuesday?"
- "What day was it 60 hours ago?"

WhenFinder also minimizes to a very simple and compact clock.

Suggestion: when expanding from the simplest 'clock-only' view, make it expand to the left instead of to the right.

The reason that I suggest this is because most widgets get put to the right of the screen and if you do that with yours, when expanding, most of it vanishes off the right-hand edge of the screen.

Other than this, a very nice widget indeed.

This is great. Now if we could ask it:
When is 3days 15 hours 34 minutes from now
it would really be the Greatest!

This is GREAT for when I have to determine when my next pay-as-you-go cell phone payment is due. Thanks!

lamb thanks for your feedback.
about your doubts, one way to solve this is to use the largest integer possibly time unit so if something is 6000 secons away it won't say 100 secons but 1 hour 40 minutes or you could take the more direct aproach thinking as how it would be used to mostly calculate how time you have till something you can just give the time in days that would be fine too even if the rsult is 125 days from now.

about the gui

you could just make a whole different menu accesable from another button under the show/hide finder thous you could have noth finders open at the same time, or if you liked just one at a time.

Love the simple concept, and especially love the sleek lines!

Great idea and very good work!

RyomaNagare: I did think about that, it's just that several considerations will need to be made, like should it say "45 days away", or "1 month and 15 days away", or "6 weeks and 1 day away" etc. The necessary GUI changes might also make things overly complicated. I like to keep things simple. But if I think of a way to do this while keeping the widget straightforward and intuitive I'll definitely do it.

very good, one suggestion though, it would be awesome if you made it so, the reverse was possible, to input one date and let the program tell how many days have passed or how many remain.
