Manipulating timestamp value

What would be the best way to increase/decrease a timestamp value? I've tried the following 2 approaches:

[mytimestamp]
type=extract
default=%datetime-u%
increase=5

---

[temptimestamp]
type=extract
default=%datetime-u%

[mytimestamp]
type=extract
input=%temptimestamp%
increase=5

...but neither seem to work correctly

    I will update the code so that this "increase" will also work if no front/back was used.

    Just wondering if this was ever added? I'm trying to increase the unix timestamp by 10 using by defining these variables:
    [wrtmrs]
    type=extract
    default=%datetime-u%

    [wrtmrl]
    type=extract
    input=%wrtmrs%
    increase=10

    But all that is given for either is simply the letter 'u'

    17.36 is now correctly giving the unix timestamp, but the 'increase' does not seem to be happening.

    Im making a silent update now. Please download manually again and install over the current version. It should work then.

    Your stealthy update worked! SER now has the mathematical skills of a ninja!
