The possibility to add end-times for an appointment.

Like: start at 11:00 ends at 15:00

Do you have a specific use case?

Is the meeting length fixed, or does it also depend on the chosen time?

Hello, I requested this.
This is for my company and we want to organize our meetings with Pleft.

A Meeting can be from 11.11.2011 13:00 to 13.11.2011 15:00.
or just 11.11.2011. 11:00 to 11.11.2011 15:00

Everything should be possible.

I had the idea to make two fields unter the "add a time field" one with "days" -> numeric field and a field for the time.
so you can choose how long a meeting will last and set a time.

Hey, thanks for your message. Just to make sure I understand it right: you want to organize meetings that may span either multiple days or a few hours?

It's an interesting feature, might be useful for planning vacations too.

I agree that your idea with additional 'how long will it take'-fields is probably easiest to fit in the current design.

yes you understand it right.
You're right this can be useful for more than just my problem.

I tried to implement it by myself, but I'm not good in python ;) so I just asked in facebook and now it's here.

Yes I thought about something like:

add a time
[15:00]

how long it will take
[3] days
[15:00] [submit]

is there a possibility that this feature would be finished soon?
Because I need this as fast as possible. My chef is waiting for it ;)

I don't know how much work it is and I would like to help as much as I can

I will probably not have time to implement it myself this week. But in your Facebook comment you wrote that you have already started. If you have some code, I'd be glad to help you further during the next few days. Would that be fast enough for this appointment?

See the last section of http://code.google.com/p/pleft/wiki/GettingStarted for help publishing your code in a fork.
