Bug ID: 473792
Summary: Unnecessary warning about lack of high-accuracy timing
(for alarm times far into the future)
Classification: Applications
Product: kalarm
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: djar...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@huftis.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When adding an alarm, KAlarm shows the following warning:
KAlarm does not provide high accuracy alarms.
The alarm will trigger at the minute boundary before the specified time
from now.
According to the changelog https://github.com/KDE/kalarm/blob/master/Changelog,
the intention is to only show this warning if the alarm time would be triggered
very soon (in the next few minutes?). But it‘s actually shown for alarms which
only would be triggered far into the future, e.g., in a year’s time, where you
don’t need high-accuracy timing.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a new alarm.
2. Set alarm time to a year into the future.
3. Click ‘OK’.
OBSERVED RESULT
Warning about lack of high-accuracy timing is shown.
EXPECTED RESULT
No warning should be shown. (It should be shown only for alarms set to be
triggered in the x minutes, perhaps with x = 10.)
