birthdays and deaths don't have age options #225

Open nutpantz opened 1 year ago

Birthdays have no stop option for people who have died. It keeps adding age, so you don't know the last age Death anniversaries have no age option so you don't know how old they were when they died.

So the birthday contact needs a stop aging at date option And the death anniversaries need a birthday for age at death.

I assume that if i keep the birthday of a dead person, i want to know the age he/she would have if he/she was alive. Else, i can simply delete the event and replace it with the death anniversary. Regarding the second improvement, i can do this, but this will require an additional field, and even if it seems a quick improvement, it requires to update each and every backup/restore option, many screens and the database schema. If more people request this feature, i'll try to add it. So i'll leave this open and wait a bit 😄 Thanks for the advices!

I am going to disagree. I want to know how old the dead person was when they died, while still celebrating their birth. They do not age after death.

No one ever asks how old Elvis would be today, but some want to know how old he was when he died

Yep, it makes sense, but this is also a cultural factor. Where i live (Italy) we often think about the age of the person if he/she was alive today. But i understand your point. Also, it depends if the person is a famous person or a relative. I'll see what i can do!
