This should be an enhancement request rather than a bug report. I have used kalarm for about a decade. While I have about four dozen events scheduled, I never have had trouble viewing the list. I never had a need for filtering of the list. On occasion I use the Find feature to view an event, but typically only when I am tired and can't see the item right in front of me. I am wondering whether you have exceeded the use case of kalarm and should instead use korganizer? Just wondering. :) Bob, what do you mean by "to list 'displaying' alarms"? I can't understand well. 'Displaying' alarms are those that have appeared (one window for each alarm) but those windows have not been closed yet. If you don't get round to dealing with them, many open alarm windows can accumulate. In the main KAlarm window, in the 'view' menu, you can set whether expired alarms are shown in the list in that window. It would be nice to also be able to list 'displaying' alarms. Currently you can only see them by going through the alarm windows one by one. If you have moved them half off the screen to save space, you also have to move them back one by one, then move them off one by one. If you let them accumulate, it probably means you're short of time, which may mean you feel you don't have time to do all that, so you can't see what the alarms are saying. Expired alarms can show in the list in a red font. Perhaps 'displaying' alarms could show in green? Also, as well as being able to exclude expired alarms from the list, it would be very nice to have an option to exclude disabled alarms (which currently appear in a pale grey font). ok, thanks for clarifying. |
