Event/Task repeat by week number. Real world application.: new section
Thanks :)
 
== Event/Task repeat by week number. Real world application. ==
 
Hi guys
Let me start my saying I love Thunderbird and Lightning.
 
I have been searching for the functionality to be able to schedule jobs on a recurring basis by week number rather than by date. I am sure this would be easy to add to Lightning.
 
In Event/Task> Repeat> custom there is already Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Annually. However what I need is the ability to schedule a job by week Number regardless as to the date/month. Ideally you would be presented with week numbers 1 to 52 in a grid where you could choose one, many or all weeks.
 
In addition a useful feature would be if you could chose from a dropdown list every week, every two weeks, every three weeks, every four weeks, every five weeks, every six weeks, every seven weeks, every eight weeks and the corresponding weeks in the grid were automatically selected. Also it would be very useful to be able to name patterns of weeks that you chose (eg Area A which consists of weeks 1,6,9,10,14...) and have them appear in the dropdown list for you to chose easily.
 
The day of the week would be chosen in the usual way, by right clicking on the start date and selection New Event or New Task or by another dropdown box with the week day in it.
 
Thanks for considering my request
