           Summary: Display to-dos if and only if start date has come
           Product: kontact
           Version: 1.1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: summary
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: gjditchfield at acm.org


Version:           1.1 (using 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.1), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27-2-generic

If a pending to-do has a start date, I want the summary view to display it if,
and only if, the start date is today or in the past.  I don't think I can get
Kontact to behave that way now.

In the "Pending To-dos" section of the Summary View configuration dialog, under
"Hide following to-do types", I can check off "Unstarted", which should do half
of what I want.  However, I think that a to-do with a start date in the past
will only appear in the summary if one of the conditions in "Show To-dos Due"
is true.

For instance, assume today is 2008-09-07, and I have a to-do with a start date
of 2008-09-01 and an end date of 2008-09-30.  Assume that the summary is
configured to show to-dos due within the next 7 days, and to hide unstarted
to-dos.  I want the to-do to show up in the summary now, but it won't appear
until the last week of the month.

If I change the settings to show to-dos due within the next month, the to-do
should appear, but so will a lot of other to-dos that I am not yet interested
in.

I suggest the following:
- remove the "Unstarted" checkbox from "Hide Following To-do Types"
- rename "Show To-dos Due" to "Show Following To-do Types"
- add a "Ready (start date is in the past)" checkbox to "Show Following To-do
Types".
