--- Comment #4 from Rickard Westman <rwest...@bredband.net> --- It's not really stopwatch accuracy I expect, but more like kitchen timer accuracy. An alarm set for 2 minutes should not trigger after 1 minute. An alarm set for 1 minute should not trigger after 0 seconds. So it's not really about users being surprised they don't get precision down to the second, but more of an expectation that the minutes they specify in KAlarm are about as long as a minute is in real life. So a minute implemented as 58 seconds or 62 seconds could be within expectations, but a minute implemented as 0 seconds or 120 seconds would not. I don't really buy the argument that a time interval specified in minutes comes with an expectation that the error can also be up to a minute – the relative error matters as well, and a relative error of 100% (as can happen with KAlarm) is just too huge to be reasonably expected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
