(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: korganizer Version: KDE 2.2.0 Severity: wishlist Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified Hello Cornelius today I received the following tip of the week. Do you know whether is implemented in korganiser of the calender lib of kde. Fuzzy dates? If not would you know for which app I should open a wish item? -- Kind regards Richard Bos -------------------- Outlook smarter than you think Sometimes the software from Microsoft is smarter than you might think. It's just a matter of finding out how to use that hidden intelligence. Just take the Calendar feature in Outlook. When we are creating a new appointment we can enter the date and the start and end times by typing values in the appropriate boxes or by selecting them from a drop-down list. But look what happens if you enter the text "christmas" in a date field and the text "noon" in a time field. Indeed it is neatly converted to 25/12/2001 12:00. Even the text "christmas next year" is understood and converted to 25/12/2002. Very useful but I never make business appointments on Christmas Day you may comment. Well there are a lot more of these "vague" date indications that Outlook can understand like "tomorrow" "next Friday" "Friday next week" "2 weeks from today" and others. Look in the Outlook online Help under Using Calendar -> What you can type in date and time fields to see what your options are. Even smarter: type the text "every Tuesday" in a date field and Outlook will automatically create a weekly Recurring appointment on Tuesday. So no need to configure this separately with the [Recurrence] button anymore! ------------------------------------------------------- (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
Sounds like an excellent idea. I would like to see "academic times" too: <hour>st (sine tempore, meaning at the full hour <hour>ct (cum tempore, meaning 15 minutes past the hour Cheers, Thorsten
Maybe via Perl's Date::Manip? It parses almost any date and duration (at least in english).
