Where do I find the
image
indicator?

From the main window, Settings > Scripts will open that.

If your toolbars date back to an older version, the Scripts item may be missing. If so, go to Settings > Customize Toolbars and Keys, then the Default Toolbars tab, and you can drag any items you want from there to your real toolbars.

Alternatively, it can also be found under Preferences / Toolbars / Scripts, although this is just to maintain continuity with where it is in older versions (scripts aren't really/only about toolbars these days), and the page can be hidden (via an option on the page itself).

Any chance you could make 720 hours possible?

version 1.12 above (no guarantee that it will work as restoring timers after restarts is problematic)

Thanks. I will find out, if Reminder would remind me of my monthly system backup (although for now i have set it to 360 hours).
