Merge Documents/Application Timelines from different devices
Using multiple devices in my workflow, and having changed computers a few times, I now have multiple Timelines for Application and Documents and it's very cumbersome to calculate how much time I have spend on a specific file/folder. It would be nice to have the option to merge multiple inputs to a single timeline. I understand the risk and/or possibility of concurrency or superposition but having 11 timeline to search through separately make time reporting more difficult.

I second this. Currently you can Add Timelines from multiple sources - i.e. in the case of a dual boot machine, you'll definitely only ever be using one at a time. I handle this by locally adding all the Reports databases, so the view is always tapered - i.e. it only shows data from one OS or the other. It would be great if there were a way to load them up so they render merged on one line (and so reporting could be done accordingly) - rather than separate timelines for each OS (and each separate system).

The new server now supports a way for you to continue the timelines on the new machine, So you could install MT on a new machine, connect to the server, then pick an old machine and say you want to continue tracking on that machine.
We just didn't have the time to add the feature in MT. We will add, it should help some.
Otherwise I agree, it would be great if that would be one timeline, but it would require a lot of changes and quite a few thing would be harder to use.
