[kronolith] Reminder bei events

[Luca Bertoncello]

Hi list!

I'd like to use Kronolith for my calendar, syncing my mobile phone with it.
Now I see a very huge problem (I'd say Bug)...

If I set a reminder for the event and want to been reminded at the
time of the event, it does not work...
Or better: if I set "0 minute" on Kronolith I see "1 minute before" in
my phone and if I set "0 minute" on my phone, Kronolith see it as
"alarm disabled"...

Searching in Code, I'd say, that the problem is that Kronolith use the
value "0" as "no alarm".
I think, this is __VERY__ bad, since it's normal to want a
notification on the time of the event.

I think, using NULL instead of 0 would be solve the problem, but the
code is really complex and I don't know where is to change it...

So my question: is there a plan to correct this bug?

Thanks

I'm no programmer, but I would have though the flag for no alarm should be
any negative integer.

Wonderful!
The bug is know since over an year and will not be fixed (no reaction over an
year)...

I think, it's time to search for another program to manage E-Mails, contacts
and calendars...

Really, are you that ungrateful? It is *FREE* software, and the devs
always say patches are welcome.

Really, I already tried to write some patches for Horde...
It's really barbarous! Documentation is almost impossible to understand, the
API are really confusing and no comments in code...
A really simple change in the code is a very hard test for headache pills...

And, by the way, I know the patches are always welcome, but no answer to a
__REALLY__ serious bug over an year is for me really hard to understand...

And finally: "free" does __NOT__ mean "you must accept all the ... you got".
If the program does not satisfy (anymore) my whishes and it is for me not
possible to patch it (see over), then I'll looking for an alternative.

Hallo Luca,

which part of documentation are difficult for you to understand?
What is your current approach to the change?
I think, a fix would be required for existing data, too, to prevent
having thousands of unexpected alerts after a code fix.

That might be the right approach for you if kronolith does not satisfy
your needs.

Hi Ralf,

Well... all... ;)
There is mostly just a (very offen undocumented) list of function and
parameter...

I think, the only way should be to use NULL instead of 0 to signal "no
reminder".
But it means change in the database and in many many parts of a for me
completly unknow code.
I really don't have the time to understand, change and test that...

And so I did!
Currently I'm using Rouncube. For the new version I wrote a little
Plugin to interface to AgenDAV and I have my contacts and calendars
synchronized.
