[Chandler-dev] Week-view

Why does the week view always start from the beginning of the week
(well, ignoring the fact that chandler thinks the week starts on Sunday
although my locale ("LC_TIME=sv_FI.UTF-8") says it really starts on
Monday)? It makes no sense. Today the week view shows only 1,5 future
days and 5 past days. Tomorrow evening it'll show only past days. How
utterly useless!

I've never quite understood why so many organizer software makers are
so hysterical about week- and month-overviews that they think it's more
important than anything else. It's as if they've once seen a paper
calendar/organizer and somehow can't fathom not having the same
limitations in software (like the morons at MS decided PowerPoint
should have the same limitations as physical slides, but I digress).

The best organizing tools I've seen have a "week-view" that by default
shows yesterday, today and the next however-many-days-fit. That makes
perfect sense and is highly useful. I really hope Chandler gets a view
like that in the future.


Best regards,
