Scheduler not working Sunday 6.20 b1

OK Scheduler was working when I installed Yesterday Saturday. Today though Sunday it doesnt seem to go slow. Possible something not hooked up ?

On a related matter

If the scheduler is set, and you then select Pause, I notice that it stays paused for only a couple of seconds.
I do have pause timeout set to 120 minutes. This may however be related to the above.

So the question is which has priority?

Scheduler has priority. That's why you can disable it there on the status bar.

Would it make more sense to have Pause as priority?

The way i am thinking of this is if you press pause you think pause, not pause unless scheduler tells you otherwise.

By making pause priority, 1 click and it pauses, otherwise its turn of scheduler then pause 2 click. With pause timeout set it would automatically restart at a predetermined point, and operate as per the schedule.

With scheduler priority, I can see people pressing pause, maybe so they can do something else on the pc, expecting newsbin to pause, only to find it is restarted just after changing windows. Hey thats the mistake I made :)
