Simplewall: [UI] Timer change does not apply before expire
It appears that just changing timer before expire is not enough. I tried it on a few executables and on two different systems. Both Windows 10, 1607 and 1809 builds.
How to reproduce:
enable a timer for an application for let's say 20min.
Before it expires, let's say when 5min left, change timer on it to 30min.
Tooltip would show now it has 30min left.
The timer would still expire in 5min nonetheless.

mmmmm, please double-check. I still have same problem in 3.0.1?

yes. I just had another case of this today. I quite frequently play online games and allow internet access for them only for a certain time. Extending this period does not work, it seems. And a tooltip shows extended time, but the timer expires as if it was not extended.

Just in case for anyone who needs it -- there is a workaround for that. Since closing the app does not disable the filtering, you can close the application entirely and then reopen it. It seems then it does apply the timers correctly. Just refreshing in the UI w/o closing the app is not enough.
