Package:           korganizer
Version:           3.0.2 (using KDE 3.0.2 )
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:     (3.0)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-bf2.4
OS/Compiler notes: 

Here's an idea.  We all know about recurring todos but consider this
twist on them (an option)

For a todo that happens say once a month (or whatever period of time.)
It doesn't need to happen exactly once a month but when it does get
completed (wether late or early) it schedules itself for one month from
the completion date.

Example (contrived) Haircut.  I get one about once a month but I can let
it go two or three weeks if nothing special is coming up (or I don't
have it in KOrganizer and forget).  So I get July's haircut three weeks
late and instead of schedule the next recurrance in the beginning of
August it schedules it for one month later.

Just a thought.

This is very important, I use it for a lot of items on my Palm Pilot and
would like to be able to use them the same way on my PC. No free
software calendar/todo program I know of can do this!

I'll add another situation in which something like this would be useful:
Legal filings.  Upon making one filing, a whole list of other filings
are automatically scheduled to come due.  The entries to be added could
be handled, for instance, on a per-category basis.  Different types of
filings have different schedules of events that they "trigger".
Although this example is a bit more complex than a haircut, which just
needs to recur, it's something to think about when implementing this
feature.

If you want this done, please describe what concrete modifications and strings
should be done in the UI.

Don't forget that the old/current behavior should still be an option, it won't
be removed because there are lots of use cases for it, for example, paying
bills.

This is handled by todo exceptions.  Create a todo with summary "hair
cut" recurring every 1 month, starting in June.  When you get your July
hair cut, drag the July occurrence to the date when the cut happened,
and select "Also Future Items" in the dialog.  The August occurrence
will also move, to 1 month after the July cut.
