Description Syam 2009-05-15 13:53:43 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

When a reminder pops up, the date and time of the event, as well as the date/time when the alarm was triggered is displayed.
IMHO, the headers of these dates need to be better worded.
The actual event date/time is titled: 'Reminder Date/Time' and the alarm/reminder time is titled: 'Trigger Date/Time'.

Don't you find (at least the first one) confusing?

In the upcoming KDE 4.3 release, these headers have been changed simply to "Reminder" and "Trigger".

Do you think that's better?
Comment 3 Syam 2009-06-13 14:16:58 UTC
I suggest "Event" and "Reminder trigger" respectively. The second time is the time the reminder was triggered, right?

Sorry, I thought my main comment would be included with my attachment: Here it is:

I really agree that the header is confusing. But in addition, I find that I'm being given so much information when the reminder window first pops up, that it's basically incomprehensible. I would strongly prefer just to see event name, and the event time -- any other details I can look up separately if I really want to know it. Alternatively, if I could have the option not to ever show the extra info, that would also be fine. 

My attachment, posted separately above, shows how the event name gets crowded out in a mishmash of dates.

grashdur,

I think you'll find the dialog much nicer in 4.3.0
