Suggestion: Add 'Snooze All" to the Task Reminder Notification dialog (to snooze all future reminders for a period of time)

[Adrian]

As an example, I've adde under "Snooze" the "Snooze all" checkbox:



 
Also, could the Reminder window not block the main TDL window?

Thank you!

Can you be more specific about exactly how you would expect this to behave pls?

It doesn't in 7.1.B4 :)

Let me explain the behavior.

I have the following alarms:

Task 1 - alarm now
Task 2 - alarm in 5 minutes
Task 3 - alarm in 55 minutes
Task 4 - alarm in 90 minutes.


If I select snooze all for 1 hour, all the task that should have their alarm pop-up in the next hour are delayed until this hour passes.
In the example above, Task 1 alarm pop-up now, I press "snooze all" for 1 hour.

Expected behavior: Task 1, 2, 3 will not have their alarm run in the next hour, but as soon as that 1 hour passes, they all pop-up.


I find this behavior useful when multiple pop-ups show-up during meetings and I have to snooze them all one by one.


But my major problem was that I had to snooze them all in order to be able to access the main window. If this is now fixed in 7.1, then what I've just described above may be too complicated to use. (maybe there's something important you want to be reminded exactly during a meeting.. and by pressing Snooze all you miss it).

Thank you!

Thx for extra information Adrian.

In addition to the Reminder dialog now being modeless, it also supports multiple selection so you could shift-select all the items and then hit the 'Snooze' button.

Once you update to 7.1, can let me know if that meets your needs?
