Notices

Some comments and suggestions:

First, great app! None of the other calendar apps worked for me to replace my palm, even the palm ones on garnet, due to non-reliability or other issues. Thanks!

I see you play mp3 files for sounds, but I can't seem to use one of my own mp3 files, only the one's in usr/share/sounds. Is this correct? It would be a nice feature to allow us to use our own sounds.

The mp3 alarm continues playing even after I've hit dismiss. Shouldn't it cut off?

It would be nice if we could select font color as well as background color, so we could put white text on darker backgrounds.

It would be helpful if the alarm showed the location field as well as the title field.

Again, thanks! I'm looking forward to the rest of the suite.

First off... Thank You for a great looking Calendar App! I am looking forward to the rest of the suite...nudge nudge

Any timeline for the Cal sync ( to google)?

Thanks

one option i would like to see is that one can make the week start on monday...

i first have to give credit where credit is due, this for me far surpasses maemo recorder as a sound recording solution for the tablet. the sensitivity slider is a great addition. regarding the alarm, i wonder if the alarm could be made to optionally play through the speakers, even if headphones are plugged in? the built in clock alarm does that, so it should be possible.

Totally agree, this is exactly how I want a calendar to look and act...the Google calendar would make it useful for me. Right now I can't use it due to that limitation.


Question: I'm unable to add an event. When on the screen when I select the date and time I pick start and end time..but they don't show on the screen..and when I click OK the event is not added to the calendar.

Anyone got any ideas about the issue with adding a new event?

Wow. OK, in order.

gman1: I'll be making it cut off in the next update (and also play MP3 files), but the code to do it right is such that I want to put it through a little more testing first.

Snoshrk: No time line yet. Priority is on the contacts and task manager base functionality. I definitely want it to sync, but to some degree the order things are done reflect what I need.

tso: Configuring the week to start on an arbitrary day will be a setting (it's the subject of a FIXME in the code - I know Sunday isn't right for everybody. In Islamic countries Saturday is the first day, and that's not right for any European countries, so this has to be a user setting). If this is a real problem I can look at squeezing it into the next update.

wesgreen: Interesting. Did not know that about the built in alarm application. That would have to be an optional setting too since in some environments it should not do that (I could see a journo using the device in court with the headset plugged in getting in some real trouble with that feature). I cannot see an obviously clean way of doing this, and the Nokia components that handle the sound do not appear to be open source, but it looks like it may be possible to access the Nokia alarm dialog without otherwise using the alarm daemon so that might be a way.

silvermountain: My best guess is that seqretary is having problems handling your time zone. What does /etc/localtime point to? One way of quickly testing this would be to change your system time zone to Australia/Sydney and seeing if it works then (you will need to restart seqretary after changing the system time zone). If it's not the time zone I'll need a copy of /home/user/.seqretary/events.db to look for more clues.

trollo, thanks very much for your detailed responses!

Thanks, I think the time-zone was the issue. It's working now.

Feature request: I'd love to be able to 'define' what a 'day' is.
Right now on the day-view I see from 8am to 3pm. I'd love to have the option to set my day-view to be, say 8am to 6pm so that I can see a whole day without scrolling. The same view should then be carried over to the week-view as well.

Great looking application.

feature request: i'd love to be able to have the option to monitor recording through the headphones. that would allow me to adjust the sensitivity according to signalstrength on the fly.
