After looking at the ical output that calendar-app generates, I see it's already specifying calendar alarms that behave differently than clock- app's clock alarms. So the datetime component of this ticket isn't blocked on Design feedback -- it just needs to honor those ical triggers generated by calendar-app.
I think my original point still holds though. clock alarms can be configured through clock-app's settings, and there don't appear to be any sibling settings for calendar alarms in calendar-app. Right now calendar-app is requesting four reminders to go off, at two-minute intervals, starting N minutes before the event (where N is set in the Reminder feature when editing an event). ** Package changed: indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-calendar-app ** Also affects: indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Charles Kerr (charlesk) ** Branch linked: lp:~charlesk/indicator-datetime/lp-1317861-handle- trigger-valarms-in-ical -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1320880 Title: Calendar notifications are treated the same as an alarm notification Status in Calendar application for Ubuntu devices: Confirmed Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: If an alarm fires, the alarm sound seemingly will persist forever. This seems like perhaps the right choice for an alarm clock, but seems inappropriate for a calendar reminder. I would expect a calendar reminder to sound for only a short period.
