Package: jpilot
Version: 1.8.0.2-1
Severity: normal
When updating 'jpilot' after renewing library books, I sometimes see
this error:
You cannot have a weekly repeating appointment that doesn't repeat on
any day of the week.
In the 'Week' tab, there is a 'Repeat on Days' field, followed by 7
toggle buttons 'SMTWTFS'.
These 7 toggle buttons collectively have 7 bits of states, making
2^7=128 states. One can select all of 'em, some, or none. Allowing
none to be selected seems like a bug, since how can a weekly
appointment occur on no day?
It might be better if it were impossible to select no buttons. The
above error message would then be unnecessary.
Hope this helps...

I don't think the GUI library (GTK+) can do that. So some code would be
needed.
One solution would be to make the current day of week selected and
without the possibility to deselect it.
I forwarded the bug upstream.
Upstream closed the bug with:
" I've taken a look and I prefer the current functionality. It is easier
for me to deselect all of the days and then re-select only the ones I
want. I find the alternative that the user is proposing, which is
implemented by the Palm Desktop, slower and more cumbersome.
There is never an issue with corruption of the backend database since
the record is always validated, and I think the current code is nice
enough in that it pops open an error message and gives the user a chance
to change the record.
Thank the user for their interest in making Jpilot better, even though
this suggestion won't be adopted. "
So I also close the Debian bug.
