Bug#420826: korganizer: Reminder for birthdays is comming too late.
Package: korganizer
Version: 4:3.5.5.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal
I am keeping my contacts in KAddressBook. There are the birthdays defined.
In KOrganizer, I have my normal events in a default calendar. The birthdays are automatically shown from KAddressBook through a resource interface ("Birthdays"). This resource interface is configured to set reminders for the birthdays 2 days in advance.
Setting the field "Reminder before (in days):" to 2 does not work as expected. To be reminded 2 days in advance, I have to set the field to a value of 120 (2 * 60).
The field value is in the software multipied by 1440 (24*60) and passed to the function setAlarmStart(). This function is probably excepting seconds and not minutes. To make seconds form the field value, it should be multiplied by 86400 (24*60*60). This gives the error factor of 60.
Regards,
Vincent Smeets
