reminder/task selections unadorned since 11.7.1

Post by haegok »

Dear epim team,
since new version 11.7.1 the time indicators in the selection box of reminder and task are not so appealing and clear than before.
Only interval "days" is shown like before.
But minutes and hours now are shown rudimentarily:
"0:05" for "5 minutes",
"1:15" for "1 hour, 15 minutes",
and so on.
For my taste the new depiction is not attractive and not intuitive any more.
Please come back to the old attractive and practical depiction of the time intervals.
Many thanks and best regards.

This intentional decision was made because there wasn't always enough space to list the duration with words for hours and minutes without them being cut off. However, we are always open to suggestions and feedback from our users. So, let's see if the new system is inconvenient for other users. Thank you!

The first time I noticed this I was surprised, but the new display has grown on me. I think the new look is cleaner.

Dear admin.
at first glance, e.g. 02:30 looks like the reminder would occur at 2:30 p.m. (or a.m.). Of course not if you know about it.
However, it is possible to show the time periods in a literary way without cutting off words. By writing minutes and hours in shortened form: instead of, e.g. 02:30: 2 h 30 min. I would be happy if the community would like this.
