Suggestions for improving the Change Timestamp dialog

These changes look small, but I think might make it more convenient.

- Replace the +/- dropdown button with a simple button. Clicking on it switches between + and - (or is there any special need for having the "noop" item in that dropdown?).

- Use a up/down button for hours/minutes/seconds separately. Instead of clicking onto minutes than on up/down, than clicking onto seconds than on up/down you could simply click on the buttons right next to the separate time values.

- Increase the size of the up/down buttons. On a 22 inch screen with 1680x1050 that up/down button appears quite small and you have to aim precisely to hit it.

Pierre can you consider adding it back in XnView MP?

The no-op - or "=" as we may name it - is very usefull for copying exiting right values while keeping the previous offset in memory for later changes. In MP (current 0.64) it was removed and using the feature frequently, I found it's definitely missing.

The pain when aligning different sets of picture on the right time/date: Find an offset, modify the file in the 1st set and check how it match, enter all 00:00:00 to copy to other fields and later re-enter the previous offset as a baseline for the next set.
