reminders

Hi

When a reminder is active and is present in the UR pop up reminder window, and then you go to the item in the main UR window, and change its reminder date/time to for example the following day - its takes upto about 20-30 seconds for the reminder pop up window to refresh and remove that item as its no longer due.... Having been used to using reminders in Outlook, when you make changes to the originating task, the reminder is instantly removed from Outlook's reminder pop up window.

Is there an intention to have this delay in UR or is it just a (very minor) bug?

The delay isn't intentional, but is simply due to the architecture used for reminders.

The Reminder Dialog "polls" for due reminders on a timer (60 seconds) so if you change the underlying Info Item's Reminder attributes while it is due and being displayed by the Dialog, a delay of almost a minute is possible before the Reminder Dialog will reflect the change.
