#8 Compact listing (c|sh)ould still contain "X days away"
OK, so I know this is a nitpick...but it would be nice if
the "compact list" mode still had the "X days away" text
in it. In other words, I would like it if the compact mode
had the same text as the full mode, just compressed
into one line. Maybe a number in brackets instead of a
phrase, to keep the lines from getting too long?
Something like this, perhaps:
CURRENT "NON-COMPACT" OUTPUT:
----- cut here
Sat 5 Jun 2004 - Today
* Main: TODO - Practice railgun aim
Wed 9 Jun 2004 - 4 days away
* Main: 17:00 - Install Debian on toaster
----- cut here
CURRENT "COMPACT" OUTPUT:
----- cut here
* 2004-06-05 Main: TODO - Practice railgun aim
* 2004-06-09 Main: 17:00 - Install Debian on toaster
----- cut here
PROPOSED "NEW COMPACT" OUTPUT:
----- cut here
* 2004-06-05 Main: [T] TODO - Practice railgun aim
* 2004-06-09 Main: [4] 17:00 - Install Debian on toaster
----- cut here
The "T" is meant to signify "todo", not "today" which
would be, I guess, signified by a zero. By the way, I
noticed that the new version (0.3.4, I'm still using 0.3.3)
has sort support for times in events, with untimed
events sorted below. This is also a nitpick, but FYI the
large majority of calendaring software out there
displays "untimed" or "all-day" events at the top of the
display area, not the bottom.

Good point. I just fixed this "nitpick" in CVS.
About the main part of this RFE: If anybody else wants this
feature, please post to this RFE. I'm revamping -m to use a
ncurses interface at the moment. It will show this
information regardless of if compact_list is set. That
still won't fix the main idea of this RFE though.
I'll be more apt to write the code to do this if more people
want it. I would also suggest making the "new compact"
output to be:
* 2004-06-05 [T] Main: TODO - Practice railgun aim
* 2004-06-09 [4] Main: 17:00 - Install Debian on toaster
It'll make the numbers line up. With the original proposed
output, the wouldn't be lined up if the calendar titles were
different lengths. I'm also not sure if we'd want to
distinguish between "today" and "todo" (as far as how easy
it would be to implement).
But in general, I agree that this might be nice to implement
eventually.
