[Planner] Screwy math?



Hi all,

I have been using planner 0.13 for basic costings and tracking of
projects for a little while and it has worked well.

Now I am using it for a more complex project, tasks, sub tasks,
dependencies etc.

I noticed that I can't simply add up all of the costings for the
milestones and tell the client it will cost you X.  As the value of X is
way out.

Here is an example:

Milestone 5		Feb 21	Mar 16	12d2h	12d2h		13200
  Task 5.1		Feb 21	Feb 27	3d	3d	9d2h	 1440
  Task 5.2		Feb 21	Feb 23	1d	1d		  480
  Task 5.3		Feb 23	Feb 28	2d2h	2d2h		 1080
  Task 5.4		Feb 28	Mar 16	9d	9d		 4320
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My Math			Feb 21	Mar 16	15d2h	15d2h		 7120

In case you are wondering I am quoting based on 4 day weeks (M T T F):)
Task 5.1 depends on task 4.9 (not shown)

It gets weirder, here is the html export for the same thing.
5	Milestone 5	Feb 21	Mar 16	12d 2h	5,880
5.1	Task 5.1	Feb 21	Feb 27	3d	0%	1,440
5.2	Task 5.2	Feb 21	Feb 23	1d	0%	  480
5.3	Task 5.3	Feb 23	Feb 28	2d 2h	0%	1,080
5.4	Task 5.4	Feb 28	Mar 16	9d	0%	4,320

This time the figure is out in the client's favour.

Has anyone else struck this problem before?  I am happy to file a bug
report, but thought I would see what others thought first.

Cheers

Dave
