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

 

Hi Charles.
In my case snooze is "evil" in case:
- I setup alarm for a Daily Meeting and alarm is ringing, I would like to disable it.
  I don't want Snooze it. Accidently I could snooze it. Then it will ringing again in the middle of the meeting (We have 15 minutes meeting, and default snooze time is 5 minutes).
I want to disable snooze for "Daily meeting" alarm,  but enable snoozing for "Wake up" alarm.

For me it is very useful feature.

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).
