With the removal of korgac, the calendar notifications now miss an option to remind later other than 5 minutes. I had several use cases for this remind later functionality. Here are some examples: 1. I often trigger a reminder well ahead of an event, because I need some time to prepare myself for that event (e.g. read some protocol of a previous meeting). When I am currently doing something else I often delayed the reminder to remind me again when my current doing is no longer interrupted or the other event becomes time critical. With the 5 minutes delay it is impossible to work without disturbance if my current doing is taking another hour or so. 2. Sometimes events span several days (e.g. at some week I am responsible to clean the coffee machine at work). So i configure one reminder each day. However, when I am currently not close to the kitchen, I let me remind later, when I know I am back in office. Of course it is also possible to re-configure an event. However, this i A. very cumbersome B. not very good for periodic events (e.g. the the periodic coffee machine job of example 2) Thus, I propose the re-implement this regressed feature.

I agree with Till Schäfer's comment. Its a regression of functionality.
I added a "1 hour" option in master, but I agree that this is not yet optimal overall. https://invent.kde.org/pim/akonadi-calendar/-/merge_requests/26
Agreed, I missed several birthday greetings due to this already.
I agree with Till Schäfer's comment. Its a regression of functionality and I have missed several important events because of that missing/removed functionality.
+1! I have similar use cases. I used the korgac features to delay for hours, days and even weeks (like if I have a deadline for a long project I need to start work on I might set the reminder weeks in advance, and want it to come up a week later...). It would be great if that functionality could be brought back, it really made korganizer for me.
I hope this will be considered a bug - not a feature request - as Debian users won't ever receive a fix otherwise. :| I also hope this will be considered important as some folks might forget their tax declaration because of this. ;) I agree this is a serious loss of functionality. I often have to reschedule several reminders in a row during work hours, which I'll now have to do either every 5 or every 60 minutes. I regularly used the "old" system to be reminded about important tasks (saved as calendar entries) like tax declarations(!) in advance and keep the reminder active e.g. from day to day. Also the old notification window contained additional information like the description and IIRC the location which I now have to look for in the mos cumbersome way.
(In reply to Till Schäfer from comment #0) I experienced the same issue when upgrading within my distribution. As neither here nor in the many duplicates I see any progress to a solution, I've set up a discussion about possible workarounds to which I invite anybody interested: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481024#c1

Git commit 22fbeb4e48646ab4fa9abce21c4ef1eab31475e5 by David Faure. Committed on 13/02/2024 at 15:57. Pushed by dfaure into branch 'master'. Implement a dialog for the user to choose the suspend duration The "Remind in 1h" action has been replaced with a "Remind later..." action which pops up that dialog. The UI is QWidget-based (reusing some code from korgac). On mobile we could just not show the "Remind later" action or implement a similar QML-based UI.
