[Feature request] A new field showing the actual time the alarm will go off. #223

Open AliensInc opened 5 months ago

AliensInc commented 5 months ago

Right now it works perfectly but I do have to 'disable' all alarms to see the actual time they will go off. OK, I could count the time but.... (old and lazy :P) A new column in the list of alarms showing the actual time it is set for to go off, this will make it a LOT easier to see that time.

......and if you have the energy a grouping thing, group a set of alarms into a set that you can turn off/on. This is my thought of an easy step of having different groups of alarms that can be enabled or disabled if the their time is correct for one particular time in ones life. I'm an old programmer so I know this is a tricky one.... but I hope :P

(Hope you get this, ENG ain't my native language :P)

Used this app....think it's 3 years now and I LOVE it. Wakes me up quite a lot when I'm sleeping in the chair :P

This is indeed an issue that has been bugging me as well. My concern is how to implement it in the UI in a way that will be consistent. Perhaps I can make each row taller to fit three lines, and for alarms have something along the lines of:

35:45:12
Mon, Tue, Wed
at 12:00

and for timers, when they are enabled:

-00:30:00
 at 23:00

Well, for me that won't really matter as I use a tiling WM and when I open this up it maxes out as big as it can be in that window and the empty space between the time and the checkbox is big, very big, like if you maximize it.

Although in your case maybe switch the columns; col1=checkbox, col2=start time, col3=alarm time and col4(as it might get cut off or need a wider window, but the text ain't very important at alarm time, right :P)=description. Maybe checkbox, alarm time, start time, description. The description is the least useful col when the alarm is created, for me anyway.

PS. The dependencies listed on the main page is that for a specific Linux distro? I use Vanilla Arch with a WM and I don't have or have installed these and it works: gstreamer-1.0 >= 1.14.5 ayatana-appindicator3 >= 0.5.3 gnome-icon-theme gconf-2.0 >= 3.2.6 pod2man
