Thanks, JG.  I already use AHK and love it as a sort of typing expander. 
So your widget is really neat but I am still scratching my head because I don't really want to convert the minutes and seconds to decimal as in a time clock decimal system of time.
I track time played of media files as a quantity in a spreadsheet that is then multiplied by an hourly rate.  If I multiply the total minutes and seconds by a number, I don't get the right thing because the quantity of seconds should be converted since it's based on a sixtieth and should be based on tens to be accurate.  Maybe I need to go back to 5th grade!!!! 
Thank you very much for sharing your script.  I'm going to sleep on it and maybe insight will come ...

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: convert time

Hi, I would LOVE to have a little widget that would enable conversion between TIME tracked in increments of sixty and increments of 100.
I have to keep track of media time (hours, minutes, seconds as shown in a standard media player) and time as a quantity in a spread sheet.

The spread sheet recognizes seconds as increments of a hundredth instead of increments of 1/60th.
A widget to convert back and forth from 100th's to 60th's would be SO SUPER!!!!!

PS Here is a link to a page that has a conversion function like I'd like in a freestanding tool:  http://www.springfro...ter/decimal-time.htm
