Re: WorkView: Start of the day

 

I am still waiting mainly for Bertrand's opinion. He's *the* guy who made GTG's UI awesome.

    Bug #561092 is related to start time of a day as well. We can keep
    an option for that in preferences.
       Regarding the interval of the day I think we should keep the text
    box. I find that more comfortable. Also, we can give negative
    numbers easily in a text box. While in a scale, we need to make it
    larger. We don't know how long the user will want the interval to be
    so we need to keep option from -01 to 23 or so.

        Hi,

        I am experimenting with my personal GTG workflow. I would like
        to really leverage WorkView feature: I choose under 20 tasks I
        can work on then work on one of them. Tasks are often hidden
        because of the start date, e.g. "Go to a party" is shown in
        WorkView only on that given date.

        The current implementation assumes the fact that a new day
        starts at 6am. If you work late during midnight, you would get
        many new tasks in the middle of your "work day". We should have
        an option for changing that.

        I think that the day could begin even a day earlier for my use case:

        I work from early morning and rest in the evening. Before I go
        to bed, I would like to do planning for the next day. After 9pm,
        GTG would show in WorkView also tasks which start tomorrow.
        Which
        I would like to have an option to edit when the day starts. How
        big the interval could be?
          1) 00:00 day before - 23:00 today
          2) 12:00 day before - 23:00 today
          3) 12:00 day before - 12:00 today

        I would go with options 1 or 2.

        I am not sure which widget to use for setting this option. From
        top of my head, we can have a text field with the format XX:XX
        and if the user wants to start day before, put a minus before,
        e.g. 12:00 (today), -21:00 (day before) It sounds like a big
        hack to me.

        Another option is to use a scale with a label like it is in
        Hamster's dialog for activity reminder. http://i.imgur.com/6pjuO.png

        How should be the start of the day setup? Which widget to use?

        Izidor
