beatitude scheduled time problems

Hi Justin,

I just upgraded my pro dada from 4.5.2 to 4.9.1 and it was a snap. I only had to fiddle with a couple of changes I had manually made to some of the source files.

Anyway, this is not what I'm here for... I noticed a problem with the scheduled times in beatitude (and it's been here at least from 4.3.0, when I started using beatitude).

I think that when you edit an existing schedule under certain scheduled time conditions, Beatitude changes the scheduled time by itself. If you make some changes (not involving the scheduled time) and save them, the scheduled time will change to what Beatitude put there.

It may be an excess on Beatitude's personality... maybe it's good to have software with a personality, but, nonetheless, it is an annoyance (well, most of my friends also have annoyances, and that's part of THEIR personality, right?) :-)

To the point:

CASE 1 - MIDNIGHT SCHEDULE

I create a new entry in Beatitude and schedule it to start on midnight between Saturday March 10th and Sunday March 11th (so, the schedule says: "March - 11th - 2012 - 12 : 00 - AM").

BTW, I'd LOVE to be able to use a 24h clock setting for this.

I go to Beatitude's schedule list and I see the new entry like: "Sun Mar 11 00:00:00 2012", OK.

However, if I click on it to edit the entry, the schedule now says: "March - 11th - 2012 - 1 : 00 - AM" (that is, Beatitude probably thought I might prefer the message to be sent at 1:00 AM rather than midnight). If I don't save the schedule, it stays as I wrote it (midnight). However, if I change anything (not touching the time schedule), and save the entry, it now says: "Sun Mar 11 01:00:00 2012", not what I intended.

CASE 2 - ONE MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT SCHEDULE

I create a new entry in Beatitude and schedule it to start one minute before midnight between Saturday March 10th and Sunday March 11th (so, the schedule says: "March - 10th - 2012 - 11 : 59 - PM").

I go to Beatitude's schedule list and I see the new entry like: "Sat Mar 10 23:59:00 2012", OK.

However, if I click on it to edit the entry, the schedule now says: "March - 10th - 2012 - 11 : 59 - AM" (that is, Beatitude probably thought I might prefer the message to be sent one minute before noon rather than midnight). If I don't save the schedule, it stays as I wrote it (midnight). However, if I change anything (not touching the time schedule), and save the entry, it now says: "Sun Mar 10 11:59:00 2012", not what I intended.



FWIW, I noticed case 1 long ago (using 4.3.0 and 4.5.2); case 2 I just tested today with 4.9.1.

Regards.
