Bug ID: 452264
Summary: Appointment reminder handling reduces usability and
functionality between 21.12.3 and 22.03.80
Product: korganizer
Version: 5.19.80
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: reminder daemon (korgac)
Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org
Reporter: bernh...@intevation.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Reminder behaviour changed between kontact 21.12.3 and 22.03.80
Now they do not have a seperate window anymore, but come as part
of the desktop notifications. This reduces functionality and usability.
Reminder behaviour changed between kontact 21.12.3 and 22.03.80
Now they do not have a seperate window anymore, but come as part
of the desktop notifications.
Problems with the new behaviour that the old one did not have:
* Each reminder does not show the date, so a reminder from a few days ago
look like they are due today.
* There is no overview anymore of all appointment due since last start
and in timely order.
* Lost the functionality to dismiss all reminders at once.
* When clicking the calendar icon, the Kontact calendar does not open.
(Needs to click the text itself to open the calendar.)
Observed the change after the switch from the following version
on an OpenSuse Leap system:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create a number appointments (with old kontact in my case)
2. wait until they were due, e.g. a few days
3. start system (with implicit starting akonadi)
OBSERVED RESULT
You get all past due reminders, each in its own little notification windows.
The window does not show the date, so reminder from two days ago looks like it
is taking place now.
There is no button to dismiss all reminders.
There is no overview of all reminders, if they do not fit in some are just not
shown.
EXPECTED RESULT
The usability for overview and handling should be preserved or superceded.
(If there is a possibility to configure the system to behave similiar or
better, it should be the default.)
Each reminder should display the data and make clear it is not today, when it
isn't.
Clicking the calendar should open the kontact calendar app (or whatever did the
reminding entry).
