Really I don't understand your problem we can do it currently. Could you add screenshot where you configure it on korganizer and outlook please. So I will perhaps understand your pb. Thanks Created attachment 122038 [details]

see the choices for when to remind again of this appointment:
there are two options that I would like to see in korganizer:
"5 minutes before the appointment starts" and "0 hours before the appointment starts".

notice how the only option for reminding again is to set it to wait a custom time.

Do you think that it's ok for you to use same combobox in reminder dialog box ? (In reply to Laurent Montel from comment #5) > Do you think that it's ok for you to use same combobox in reminder dialog > box ? that would in my eyes be the perfect solution: why present the user with two different versions of the same question...? korgac has been replaced by a new reminder daemon, kalendarac, which uses desktop notifications to display reminders. Please see bug 452264, for example, for discussion of desired reminder intervals. |
SUMMARY the current intervals for reminding you of appointments are less than useful STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. create a calendar entry with a reminder in the future 2. wait for the reminder 3. try to postpone the reminder to another point in the future OBSERVED RESULT you can choose reminders after any free time period which means you actually have to do the math to figure out what to put in - also, to postpone a reminder that was set to "15 minutes before the event" to "remind again in 48 hours" is pretty crazy. EXPECTED RESULT I would prefer the same kind of reminder intervals that for example outlook has: "5 minutes before the event", "when the event starts", and the current free form but not as "in X {minutes|hours|days}" but as " {minutes|hours|days} before the event starts" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Leap 15.0 X86_64 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.60.0 Qt Version: 5.13.0
