That's great! Well, I am sorry to not have done this before jessie release. But I think I'll provide a backport for the package because I enjoy using it. I don't know though about what happens upstream so far, but there were at least two releases in the last years, it's up at 1.4.6 (which I just before uploaded) so it's not completely dead. :) > > Do you really insist on adding a newline which would mean that when one > > gets faced with the editor one would have to backspace or move the > > cursor to the point where they are actually expect to add the reminder > > message instead of being right there in the first place? > > Well, my initial annoyance seems to have faded, I guess I've learned to > live with it :) Great. I'll keep this bugreport open for now, maybe it should get documented more clearly that people are expected to add the actual message after the editor fired up and not implicitly expecting people to do it, but that's something for upstream I assume.

I think the reason for not adding a newline in the first place is that it's meant for you to add a message for the reminder. And when you do that your editor usually saves a newline. I can see that it might seem annoying and easy to reproduce - but I'm not totally convinced that this should be considered a real bug. It's not the way one would use it, *not* writing a message for a reminder in the first place. The way to get to the point is pretty constructed in my experience. Do you really insist on adding a newline which would mean that when one gets faced with the editor one would have to backspace or move the cursor to the point where they are actually expect to add the reminder message instead of being right there in the first place?

Bug#477084: wyrd: Also happens when adding new reminder without adding newline in editor
Package: wyrd Version: 1.4.4-1 Followup-For: Bug #477084 The described phenomenon not only occurs when copying reminders, but also when creating a new one: - Start wyrd, and press 'enter' on a given time to create a new reminder. Editor is opened with the following line: REM Jan 13 2009 AT 04:00 DURATION 1:00 MSG note: no newline is added after the newly inserted reminder - Do not edit, but close editor without saving - Press 'enter' on another time/date to add another appointment. Editor now opens with the line: REM Jan 13 2009 AT 04:00 DURATION 1:00 MSG REM Jan 13 2009 AT 02:00 DURATION 1:00 MSG I think a solution would be to add a newline after a newly inserted reminder, before opening the file in the users editor. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25.4 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages wyrd depends on: ii less 418-1 Pager program similar to more ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncursesw5 5.7+20090105-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii remind03.01.05-2 a sophisticated reminder service wyrd recommends no packages. wyrd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
