I have many appointments and it takes long to make alarms for them and sometimes I set the wrong time,cause I forgot to set it properly. For now we have to create every alarm manually and the name is the folder of the sound file. It is not that easy to manage,my alarms look like this: https://i.imgur.com/Wd2Xljo.png A suggestion I have to make it easier is,that you have the option that you can open a calender and double click on every date you want to activate an alarm and if you click once on the date then you can select the time and the sound and the volumen and if the sound repeats. I also want that you can select a default sound that gets applied automatically for new alarms by default and that you can select the default columen and if you want that the sound gets repeated or not by default. With all that it would be so much easier to make alarms.
Version 3.1 of KAlarm (in KDE applications release 20.12) has an option to give alarms a name. Using this would enable you to distinguish between alarms easily instead of seeing only the audio file path. You can enable alarm names in KAlarm's Settings, in the General tab. KAlarm already allows you to set a default sound for alarms, and whether it is repeated. Go to KAlarm's Settings, in the Alarm Types section of the Edit tab. It currently doesn't allow you to set a default volume, but that could perhaps be added. I'll think more about your idea of clicking on a calendar to create alarms.
A default sound volume has now been added to KAlarm's settings, for version 3.2 , which will be in KDE applications release 21.04.

One of the improvements to KAlarm which I hope to implement this year is to provide a calendar view (e.g. a month at a time). This would make it possible to think of adding the feature to click multiple dates to set alarms.

KAlarm version 3.3, which will be in KDE apps release 21.08, now has a calendar view option. This currently only allows a single date to be selected, which provides a context menu to create an alarm for that date. Selecting a date also filters the alarm list to only show alarms which will trigger on that date. Allowing the selection of multiple dates to allow what you request isn't so straightforward, so that will need to come later.
