Title:
More persistent calendar reminders
Status in Evolution:
Fix Released
Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: evolution
I find it rather easy to miss a calendar reminder in Evolution. It
appears that Evolution, 1) only reminds via notification icon, which
is not as noticeable as a pop-up window. Only after one clicks on the
notification icon does a pop-up come on the screen for a more
noticeable reminder. However, it's too easy to miss the notification
icon, which means one may never get an opportunity to see the actual
pop-up reminder. 2) If ones computer is not actually ON when the
reminder is scheduled to remind, the window of opportunity passes and
one never sees the reminder. For example, set a reminder for 15
minutes, then turn computer off for 16 minutes. Turn computer back
on, reminder does not activate. 3) Once an event is past, Evolution
reminder is automatically dismissed. Even if one is late for an
appointment, it is still helpful to receive the reminder, but the way
Evolution's reminders work, once the event time hits, the reminder
will never remind you again.
In contrast, the calendaring system of Thunderbird's Lightning
extension will 1) automatically pop up a very noticeable reminder on
the screen without any user intervention, 2) pop up the reminder even
if you turn your computer on after the reminder was set to activate,
and 3) will persist in reminding you even past the appointment time,
until you explicitly "dismiss" the appointment yourself. It will
never dismiss an appointment without your consent.
