List Future Reminders Feature Request - Skip Reminders

Hi Stuart,

Has anyone ever requested the ability to skip multiple reminders in your List Future Reminders extension?

Every week I have a bunch of reminders that I have to manually skip one at a time. I'd like to be able to select all of them and then one-click to skip.

I'd be happy to provide a pull request for this if you point me at your repository.

Cheers,
Kevin

   Hmm....

   GIT repo is here:
   https://github.com/yogi1967/MoneydancePythonScripts/blob/master/sou...

   Happy for you to take a look... Just be warned this was one of the first extensions I cobbled together when I didn't know any Python or Java.... So, it's not written how I would write it from scratch.

   The obvious change would be line: 4382 to change to:
   

   GlobalVars.saveJTable.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION)
   

   But this alone won't work.... Tips/pointers:
   - You will see the code loops. Each time a certain even is triggered then the data mode is rebuilt and the JTable recreated. - The various commands are geared around a single reminder selection (e.g. .getSelectedRow()). The selected obj is saved and reused.

   Of course, dead easy to embed a hidden CMD-KEY to just do what you are after; or perhaps a menu option to skip all reminders; but would ALSO prefer the ability for the user to select multiple rows, right click, and select skip reminder.

   Thoughts?

   Hi Stu,

   Thanks for getting back to me.

   I feel like an idiot. I didn't realise it was written in Python. I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to start.

   Apologies for the distraction.

   Regards,
   Kevin

   It's Jython and very interchangeable with java...

   I’ll do something for you over the next week.

   That would be very kind but don't worry at all if you don't get around to it.

   Hi Kevin,

   OK, I rigged up something. Latest PREVIEW (1019) here:
   https://github.com/yogi1967/MoneydancePythonScripts/raw/master/list...

   To activate, click CMD-K....

   Once you say OK, then it will go an skip the next occurrence of all reminders..

   I've limited the possible skipping to dates less than today + x days (where x = Look forward days set in the extension). Default is 365..

   Now I think there could be some issues with this.... Depending on your setup... I can see how if all your reminders are monthly, then makes sense.. But what if some are weekly? Perhaps there's some parameters we need to set

   Have a play. PLEASE BACKUP FIRST AND USE TEST SYSTEM!!

   Perhaps email me with feedback, to discuss further at:
   …

   or DM me on Slack

   Hi Stuart,
   I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.
   I might not get time until this weekend I'm afraid.

    Hi Stuart,

    Thanks for the reminder. I still haven't taken a look at it yet. It's one of many, many things on my to do list that I'm not getting around to. :(

    I'm still interested though. Just need to find some time.
