Adding this list to the alarm menu sounds fine to me. But where I'd really, really love to have it would be as a pull-down from the triage button. To explain: I find that I never use the one-click alarm feature in list view. I just can't convince my brain that the event/alarm column is for anything but event-ness. Plus, I rarely want an event for today at 5PM, so I have to go fiddle in the detail view anyway. BUT... Most of the time I don't want to mark something as LATER (someday, maybe). I want it out of my focus, but I want to force myself to assign a date to bring it back into focus. So instead of going through all the mouse movement of triaging to LATER then moving to the detail view to assign an alarm, I just leave it in NOW. This is obviously not ideal, I'm just observing that this is my personal pattern given the UI I've got now. I'm imagining tweaking the triage buttons to look like: NOW \/ when you click on NOW, it rotates as usual. But if you click on the down triangle, it pops up: NOW DONE LATER - Some day, maybe ------- LATER - End of day LATER - Tomorrow LATER - End of week LATER - Next week LATER - This month LATER - Next month Oh boy, would that ever make me happy :) Sincerely, Jeffrey _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "Design" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/design
