[Bug 1411187] Re: [clock] Add option to not have snooze

 

James, if we want alarms to continue to be handled by the Unity
Notifications framework, we need an even number of actions for the Snap
Decision -- i.e., we need to replace the "Snooze" button with another
action button to take its place. Please update the design to either
change frameworks or propose an alternative button iff Snooze is
disabled.

Second, I don't understand the purpose of this ticket. Why is snooze
"evil"?

Bug description:
  Snooze is evil.

  I suggest to add to snooze dropdown menu in the option the voice "No
  snooze" or something like this

  GV - UX Solution
  I've added the option to turn snooze off when editing an alarm, plus I've added an option 'Don't snooze in settings'

  [UX Comment]
  As it seems unlikely that we will be able to implement snooze on/off & snooze duration for individual alarms, but do have an application-wide setting that allows snooze duration to be set (but not disabled), I'd recommend the options relating to snooze in application settings be changed to the following:

  - No snooze
  - 5 minutes
  - 10 minutes
  - 15 minutes

  This way the list is still short (four options, as it is currently)
  but the options provided are likely to be more useful (current 2
  minute snooze doesn't seem very useful, nor does the difference
  between 4 mins and 5 min snooze periods).
