Add acquaintance events based on Hebrew dates

[jklein001]

Hi,
This application is great !
I used Outlook for reminding me my grandchildren birthdays since it started supporting Hebrew recurrence dates. Lately it just stopped (!) supporting them. So it would be great to have the capability of registering events in the Ordisoftware application in order to get a reminder when the Hebrew date come, for birthdays or for yahrzeit.
Bracha vehatzlacha!

Hi,

Thanks.

Such a thing is meant to be managed but for the very long term.

The software is dedicated to personal use per Windows account but it will probably be easy to add a SQLite table of reminders for family and friends by simply using a tag to use EC or the selected calendar's Hebrew cycle. I added that to the list of future improvements:

• Add special alarms to remind other people's birthday and yahrzeit events.

This one may be done before things already planned like user anniversaries and ancillary religious festivals. At first glance it might be implemented soon because it will be quite easy since it's just a list of dates and names or title with comments.

The first thing to see will be the integration with the reminder boxes UI system.

The only difficulty I see is that while using EC dates there is no problem, using Hebrew dates, what to do with 1 Adar II if in a year there is no Adar II ? And with 30 Kislev if in a year there is only 29 days? Just shift the number of days to the appropriate date? How? By adding or removing days to get a valid date and perhaps an option for that?

Thanks!

Shalom,
Olivier
