Inconsistencies when day goes past midnight.

Bug Reports

I have my day set to 10am-4am, and there are some inconsistencies with how it shows “today”. I understand this is definitely difficult to deal with, but I am attempting to aggregate the few issues i have found when using the schedule.

I am going to differentiate between “calendar day” and “schedule day”.

“calendar day” - 12am-11:59pm. normal calendar day.

“schedule day” - 10am-4am, my ‘day’ as set in the settings

  1. The calendar widget highlights the current calendar day instead of the schedule day. This may be impossible to fix, not sure.

  2. Changing the date on a task jumps to the wrong day in the schedule. It jumps to the calendar day instead of the schedule day. For example if i have a task for 2am (calendar saturday, schedule friday) and i click the calendar to change the day, it shows saturday (being the calendar day) as being the day scheduled. If I click on sunday (the next day, being schedule saturday but calendar sunday) it moves the task to the correct time, but jumps the view to calendar sunday instead of schedule saturday. So I have to scroll back a day to actually see the task.

    1. It would be nice and easier to understand if the task would show as friday despite being 2am on a saturday but I get that is probably not very feasible.

  3. Sometimes when re-focusing the app after midnight it will switch the schedule view to the current calendar day, even though the schedule day has not ended yet.

I know this is a confusing concept, so I attempted to explain as best as I could. Let me know if I can clarify anything.

    Great explanation of the issues, thanks so much!

    I fixed the following in TimeFinder 9.7.27, which is rolling out now:

    • The calendar bar now treats the active Schedule day as “today” until the configured day ends, so Saturday is not highlighted at 2 a.m. while Friday's Schedule is still active.

    • An overnight Task's date control now displays and selects its Schedule day. Moving a 2 a.m. Saturday Task from Friday to Saturday's Schedule keeps it at 2 a.m. on Sunday and keeps the view on the selected Schedule day.

    • Reopening or refocusing after midnight now returns to the active Schedule day instead of the next calendar day.

    The fixed version is live on web now and rolling out to app stores over the next few days.

    I really appreciate your bug reports, thank you! -Luke
