Start projects retroactively

Here you can start your projects retroactively. You can use this function in case you forgot to start timing a project. Choose the project you want to change to, then choose "Start project retroactively" and you'll be prompted to enter the finish time of the last project and the start time of the new project. This saves you the time of editing timestamps afterwards.
