Allow option or shorcut to EDIT duplicated event BEFORE saving duplicated event #21

Open GITQNN opened 1 year ago

GITQNN commented 1 year ago

Currently, whenever the duplicate button is hit, the duplicated event is created IMMEDIATELY with the SAME DATE AND TIME as the original event.

Most of the time, you duplicate an event because you want to choose a different date/time.

Currently, to duplicate an event with a different date/time:

  1. If using Google's native way:
    • Click event
    • Click 3 vertical dots
    • Click Duplicate Then you can edit the duplicated entry

or

  1. Using your extension:
    • Click duplicate button
    • Go back into event and edit date/time

It would be helpful, if with the extension, there was a separate button (even better SHORTCUT) to duplicate the event but open it before saving it to allow date/time to be edited first.

I believe this is the scenario that most people want to use because most duplicated events are for a different date and time.

Besides, when you use a shared calendar and duplicate events, using the current extension, everyone gets a NOTIFICATION when the event is duplicated and another notification when the date and time is edited.

With my suggestion, the double notification would not happen and it would be much quicker to duplicate an event for a different date/time

Thank you for considering implementing this feature

Hi! Thank you for trying out the extension. I can definitely add this as a separate shortcut. I'll keep you posted on the development. Thanks for the suggestion!

That's great. Thank you!

Hi, I wonder if you are still planning to add a separate shortcut which allows editing a duplicated event before it's saved as a duplicated event?

Thank you!
