Description Mike Fong 2003-05-14 23:28:45 UTC

Version:           0.8.5 (using KDE KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs

I need to schedule alerts for standing meetings.
Example, every weekday at 2pm, attend staff meeting.

I don't want the alarm to goo off on weekends nor
holidays.

Perhaps add flags about ignoring particular days of
the week or holidays.

You can already schedule an alarm for every weekday at 2 pm, by selecting a 
weekly recurrence and then selecting each weekday.

There is however currently no facility for ignoring holidays, and I have 
changed the title of the bug to reflect this.

In the KDE 3.2 version, you can manually specify exception dates for recurring alarms. So it is possible to exclude holidays if you enter each holiday date.

There are plans to provide a holiday plugin as part of the base KDE libraries, and if and when this is done (probably in time for KDE 3.3) I aim to incorporate this into KAlarm to allow automatic exclusion of holidays.

This has (at last!) been implemented in SVN revisions 845879, 857926, 883568, and will be in KDE 4.2. It will also be in the next release of KAlarm for KDE 3, version 2.1.0, downloadable from the KAlarm website.
