QuickCal Widget 1.7

The QuickCal Widget is a free Dashboard widget that will take natural language expressions describing calendar events, and creates them for you - without you needing to have iCal open!

Hints:
· To create tasks, just start or end with “todo”. To assign importance to a task, throw some !’s at the end of it. The number of bangs dictates the current event's importance
· To create a task with a specific due date, just use “task by DATE”, or “task before DATE”, or “task due on DATE”, …
· Always start the event with the description, and then get into days and times (”Do Something on DAY between X and Y”)
· If you specify a start time without an end time, the assumption is made that you want an event for 60 minutes. (This will be configurable in an upcoming version) - “Meet w/ Tom tomorrow at 5pm”
· The events will by default be created in your first Calendar in iCal. If you flip the widget over, you can change this.
· Smart Reminders will automatically create reminders for you, and sometimes it will create more than one - based on how far in the future your event you’re creating is. Fully configurable on the back-side of the widget.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Support for durations like “for 3h”, “for 30m”, “for 2.5h”, or the super-useful “for 76.21h”
· Support for using dots as hour/min separators (“Lunch at 12.30″)
· Fixed conflict where iCal’s default alarm setting (if on) would cause unwanted alarms when using QuickCal’s alarm settings
· Using the ‘no sound’ option for alarms would create an alarm with a blank sound in iCal, vs an alarm without sound. Fixed.
