Lclarkjr,

I can't seem to find this patch in either Preware or WOQI. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I have submitted the updates to the Patches Repository just tonight so it may take a couple days for them to show up in the installers. You can use WebOS Quick Install to install the patch from this thread in the mean time.

Sure, i actually originally intended to add this one but got sidetracked by the fact that i cant the scrolling to work.

not working for me on german gsm 1.3.5.2. It's just giving me an empty area where snoozetime should be read. Perhaps similar problems like othe language specific patch problems.

For those who have requested I have added a donate button to the first post.

is it possible to fix this problem with other languages, because i can't set the snoozetime (see screenshot) it always reminds after 30min.

I believe so. I will look into it, I think i just need to update a file for each of the languages.

I second the suggestion on adding the option for 5 minutes before and making it the default. Better yet being able to select a default snooze. If the scroll is a problem for adding this option removing the two hour and 2 day (can only see part of that one) would be fine. The other request to make the text black would help readability too.

Great patch one that should be apart of the basic calendar by default.

Thanks for starting this up. The ability to select snooze duration was one of my favorite features on pimlicals datebk program for the treo. I downloaded and played with this for a while, but the scroll limitation makes it not so useful to me, so I've uninstalled the patch and now just do 5min at a time.
What made datebk so great is that you could not only select the snooze duration from the time of the alarm, but also before the start or end of the appointment (see a couple screen shots of the version 5 datebk)

After installing the newest update for this patch for 1.4, it isn't working correctly. Instead of getting the selections on the right side with the gray background, they are on the left with no background. Fairly unusable. I'll post a screenshot when I have some time tomorrow.

Any chance the patch creator will be updating this patch for 1.4? I really can't stand these 5 minute snoozes....

[Lclarkjr]
