Description Jeff Moe (reporter) 2009-12-02 22:15:34 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:
Maemo 5
1.2009.42-11.002

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
1. Tap Calendar to launch Calendar app
2. Tap the date at the top to bring up menu
3. Tap "Go to tasks"
4. Tap "New task"
5. Tap "Date [current date]"

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
A nice calendar of the month or somesuch should come up to find the date. E.g.
"Next friday I have to go feed the hamster".  But what date is next friday??


ACTUAL OUTCOME:
Three columns:  Month, day, year.


REPRODUCIBILITY:
100%

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:
N/A.

OTHER COMMENTS:
In sum, if you want to add an event and you know the day of the week, you have
to go look elsewhere for what the date is. If a nice calendar came up, you
could just see it there. The three column thing looks pretty cool, but it's not
all that functional--you should be able to pick the date on a full calendar.

Note, this also applies to the Calendar app when adding events.

The scope of bugs.maemo.org are bugs and only very specific and no-brainer
enhancement requests. This report contains a feature request that is too
generic for bugs.maemo.org. Please post this problem and propose your
solution in Maemo Brainstorm instead:

So in a month when /brainstorm/ actually loads I can pull this RFE out of
oblivion? It seems not-so-great to punt things over to a system that isn't
actually working.

Also, IMHO this bug is pretty specific: display a calendar, not a
wheel-of-fortune for dates--it is the standard way to select a date in most
calendar programs...  This doesn't have anything to do with maps or any of
that. It's simple: when system asks user pick a date, it should display a
calendar.

Also also, this is marked "RESOLVED MOVED", but it wasn't moved. "RESOLVED
ASKED TO MOVE" is more accurate, no? It never got moved, it just got closed.

Thanks. :)

It looks like this bug should be closed as a duplicate of bug #5296 though. ;)
