Tasks due "Before class" are not put before the class #48

Open z4ab opened 3 years ago

z4ab commented 3 years ago

As a result of the new online school system, students have a designated time that is called "study hall" to do homework and prepare for class. Instead of creating a schedule for this time, I decided to just use the "Before class" feature. However, there are 2 issues with this.

Task put before the wrong class

I have 2 classes every day and when I select the "Before class" option, the task is put before the first class of the day, instead of the right one. image The weird thing about this is that on another day, it is put before the right class. image

Task put at the start of the class instead of before

This isn't much of a problem but I have noticed an inconsistency. When I set the task's due time to the "End of class", it puts the task after that class. image However, when I set it due to "Before class", it looks as if it is at the start of the class image The way I get around this is by setting it to a custom time before the class. I know it might not be worth it to fix, but it would make the interface smoother to use. This is by far my favourite app for its purpose either way, even though I had to pay for all of its features.

If it would help you, I could clarify the issue more, or send a better screenshot.

Hey @z4ab, thanks for posting all of this! Sorry for the delayed response (I don't monitor the GitHub issues like I monitor the customer support email within the app).

Your first example definitely looks like a bug, I'll have to experiment around and see if I can root cause that issue and fix it!

And I do agree with your second "inconsistency", I think you're right that it'd make sense to display those above the class.

Not sure when I'd be able to get to either of these, but hopefully within a month or two I can address them! Thanks! Andrew

Hey @z4ab have you seen this issue with the task appearing next to the wrong class recently? I haven't been able to repro it.

@andrewleader I am having this sort of problem. If I set a task due for a class in week A, it shows in the lesson where that class is in week B (on the same day). I set it for start of class image image

Ah! Thanks @toughcypradoodle the Week A/B stuff would likely explain it! I'll try to reproduce and fix that!
