--- Comment #4 from Ray Delahunty <[email protected]> ---
I wish we had known in 2015 when we were selecting a new LMS that Koha
circcontrol works this way. We set maximum loans globally (differing by patron
group) rather than max loans being a multiplier of the number of libraries, and
the only way we can do this is to set circcontrol to use the rules (and
calendar!) from the library the patron belongs to. Our users move around the
libraries and carry their rules with them and impose them on the libraries they
visit(!).

This means that hourly loans (like our laptops that loan for 5 hours) have
never worked correctly coming up to library closing time and at weekends where
some of our libraries are open, and some are not. This effects of this bug are
now much more visible as it destroys the advantages offered in 24.11 with
ConsiderLibraryHoursInCirulation and the addition of opening and closing times.

Our support company does not see this as a bug which should be fixed as routine
support and are suggesting we fund development to possibly add a system
preference as Emily suggests. Without this fixed Koha circulation will never
work correctly for hourly loan at our institution (or others that operate like
our do). I have no idea if we can find development funds, but am about to find
out. Depending on the work involved we may need help… in a joint funding
situation.
