Option to hide weekends in timeline

Hi there! Great work on the timeline feature - really love its simplicity. One thing however seems over-simplified to me: There should be an option to hide weekends. If I plan a 5-(work)-day task that is supposed to start on Monday and end on Friday, and then my plan changes and I drag it to start on Wednesday, then it should (automatically) end on Tuesday, not Sunday.

Is it possible to modify the Calendar to factor out weekends for a project that has weekends factored in?

And here for rules

Rules to trigger due dates only in business days

I’ve set up some custom rules to change tasks due date to be due in X days based on priority, but this can have tasks due on a weekend. How do I change it so the rules are only looking at standard business days?

I recommend voting on the relevant feedback request threads.
