## Pop-Up Reminders

As of release 1.7.4, reminders can be popped up in a single window containing a list of reminders. This is the new default. The prior implementation – a separate popup window for each reminder is still an option that can be chosen from the Popup Reminders options tab.

The user can choose the times for pop-up reminders to appear on a per appointment basis.

For an appointment, at the chosen times, a reminder window will popup for the appointment and a sound will be played. If the reminder window is dismissed, it will reappear and the next chosen time – unless the option to suppress further reminders was chosen when the window was dismissed (if using multiple windows) or unless the reminder item is hidden (when using the reminder list).

When using the single reminder window, the window will popup when any item in the list hits a popup time.

From the popup window (either type), the item can be hidden to shut off further popups. If the item is a todo, it can be marked as done from the popup window.

The set of selectable times of the popups are tunable through the popups tab of the options screen. On this options screen, the set of times are in minutes. A negative number indicates a reminder that will go off after the appointment time.

There is an option to use the “system beep” sound for the popup. Use this if the default sound does not play properly.

Untimed appointments do not get popup reminders. As of release 1.5.2, any untimed todo’s for the current day will get popup reminders every half hour as long as any popup times are selected (this popup time is tunable). If popup reminders are not wanted for untimed todos, then set the time interval for untimed todo popups to 0 in the options.
