Automatic format of "time remaining" messages


  • Subject: Automatic format of "time remaining" messages
  • From: Daniel Aarno <email@hidden>

For example when the finder performs a lengthy copy task it displays the estimated time remaining. This is displayed in an "inexact" manner, e.g. About 5 minutes remaining. This is good because it avoids the "flickering" that occurs when the estimate is not exact (as it seldom is because it's an estimate) and the ETA may change from 02:34 to 02:45 between updates. Now to the question:

Is there a way to automatically get these type of "inexact" time remaining messages from say an NSTimeInterval or an NSDate? If there is I assume it is in the correct localized version.
