[chandler-users] Feature Request - Week view addition in Desktop client.

[Jos Yule]

Hey, i find i don't use the week view very often, and have been puzzling 
out why that might be. I think it is because there is no way to see if 
there are any events which don't currently show on the screen. For 
example, lets say i've got 8am - 3pm showing on my weekly view. Any 
events which start after 3pm are not indicated in any way.

A simple arrow, triangle, dot (in the colour of the items collection) 
would help show that there is content which is "there" but off-screen.

I've included a mock up with the triangle and dot examples (Tuesday and 
Wednesday). They would also have to be shown at the top of the calendar 
for events which happen earlier then whatever time span is currently 
being shown.

I think this would improve the general usefulness of the week view, 
allowing users to see which days have items which are not shown.

Also, for bonus points, when the user rolls the pointer over the 
triangle/dot/whatever, you could use a tool-tip to show the title/time 
of the items which are off screen. When clicked on, snap the view to the 
item, and select it so that it appears in the detail/note view.

Thanks for such a great product, and congrats on reaching (almost!) 1.0!!

ps. i know this isn't a unique idea, but i can't remember what software 
i've used which had this feature... If anyone knows of some which did 
this, please let me know! Its driving me crazy! :)
