    Suggestion: Add the option to see each second of a countdown as its counting down

    For the purpose of jobs that can do anything pre-pull, it would help to see each second of a countdown as its counting down. That way, you always know when exactly to use your pre-pull actions. I'm suggesting this as an option in the Settings so people who don't want this change don't have to use this option.

    Edit: The current countdown system is every interval of 5s and only counts each second on the last 5 seconds. I would like it to countdown every second(Example: a 15s countdown would go 15 > 14 > 13 > 12 > 11 > 10 > 9 > 8 > 7 > 6 > 5 > 4 > 3 > 2 > 1)

    Doesn't the built-in pull timer already display a per-second countdown?

    The current countdown only counts every interval of 5 and the per second is only the last 5 seconds.

    Isn't that enough? What are you doing at 11 seconds pre-pull that needs to be that exact?

    Quite a few Jobs have precise-ish openers, DNC for example I think, with its Technical Step.

    Also, why be against this of all things?

    Who said I'm against it?

    "I question why it's necessary" and "I'm against it" are two VERY different things.

    DNC just needs about 10 seconds before step wears off, so you just start a little after that flashes on the screen.

    There are macros out there if you need a more precise countdown.

    10? Not 15? I've been always cast it 15 seconds before the pull...

    Probably. I said about because I don't feel like checking.

    Only if there's a toggle. We don't all need that full countdown.

    Some people will just defend the status quo at all cost beyond all logic.
