LiveSky Strips Seconds Value From Started At When Modifying Observation Comments

I have observations that are seconds apart because I am recording all the components which I saw and I still want to maintain an order to the observations by when I noticed things. I don't want to separate several close observations, of nearby components, by 1 minute each to order them. I also manually sync my observations between my desktop astronomy software and SkySafari using LiveSky. However, if I go to update an observation's comments by copying them from the software to SkySafari, then it strips the seconds counter out of the Start At time in LiveSky. This causes a lot of frustration because I have to recreate the observation by using the time tool to adjust the seconds first.

  HI Bryan, 

  Is it possible you can create a short screen recording that demonstrates your workflow for developers?

  Thanks!

  I created a video.  Here is a link to where I uploaded it. I have lousey screen software and had to combine two videos so the phone stuff is stretched out.  Let me know if you need anything resent.

   

  How do we upload videos to you guys?
