Anyone know what this button does?

In the bottom right corner of the effects tab in the media pool is a small icon that looks a little like a clock. When I hover over it I get some file info (possibly the preset I last used to export?) When I click on it, it highlights, but I can see not discernable affect on anything.

I've searched the manual and the "made simple" book but can't find any clues

Hi Jeff

Bit of a puzzle what the file info is telling us but clicking the clock face brings up the decimal point for the clip duration next to it.

Hi

The button is a shortcut for setting the length of photo objects on the timeline - instead of Right click, Change photo length  - it pops up this dialog

Thanks John - so when a video clip is selected it does nothing (although the dialogue say "object").

What tooltip do you get when you hover over it?
