Alarm time default

[JayDee]

(Build 337 Pro, Win 2k SP3, Clie T675C)

Have a ToDo without an alarm in your list. Create a new one and activate the Alarm checkbox. I always get 18:17 as default time (might depend on the time zone). If you activate the Alarm with the existing ToDo, however, the default time is the current time - which is probably how it should be.

BTW: Take a look at this thread (http://www.iambic.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2488). Looks like build 337 had returned to the behavior before version 0.95 with respect to rounding on Spinner_Change. The only rounding takes place, when 00 minutes is crossed (which is different from pre-0.95). The last betas worked fine, as far as I remember.

Default alarm time is current time, it is designed to be so and not a bug.

About the time rounding - not a bug also as time gets corrected after switching to another control.

That appears to be a bit more complicated. Yesterday, when I wrote the the report, I always had a fixed time (18:17) in newly created ToDos. Current time - which I agree is the reasonable default - was only used when an alarm was switched on in a pre-existing ToDo.

Today, I cannot reproduce that anymore. So I will have to find out the very condition, under which it occurred. I will keep an eye on it.

Take a look at thread 2488 (the one I linked to in my original post). I suggested to have the time rounded with the first click on the spinner already. This ensures that the alarm time is not set to an unintended value, when the next control you go to is the OK button!

You replied that this would be implemented in the next beta version, and I am almost completely sure it was. So I was surprised, why the release version reverts to the old behavior.
