Thanks for your answers, which both show me that I can override the default
globally and per item.
I guess that not seeing both together won't be such a problem (I'll see with
usage but...) as we can have reports quickly generated.
Thank you very much!
Though, the only *remaining nice feature* would maybe be the following: add a
letter indicating what's the meaning of the total. For example, we could see
`T 02:51 (Reading Emails)'
for a total limited to *today* and
`M 02:51 (Reading Emails)'
for a total limited to *monthly*.
What do you think of that? Otherwise, it becomes difficult to distinguish
between locally overridden totals and the global default value...
