plugin for extended submenus (Due for, schedule for)

[Sławek Mikuła]

It would be useful when there is a button (and a keyboard shortcut) for postpone task -> move task due date in one day. It is implemented in the Remeber the Milk and is quite useful. It is combined with bug/feature #538693. With this button one can focus on the task completion with the date workflow in view

browser context menu?

"Schedule For" changes the start date. We already have a branch which adds the possibility to change the Due date and another which extends then number of choices in those submenus (as in "Schedule in two days", three ...).
To avoid adding too many submenus which could scary the new users, I was to package those in a plugin, at least for the time being.

I will do that after trunk is stabilized.

The 0.2.3 version (from the Karmic Koala official repository) have not
working the "schedule for" option. I've just upgraded to the nightly PPA and
this element is working as expected - and because of that i've created this
issue. As for Your comment I agree completely.

Good. We will probably have to change the string "Schedule for", as it is not always understood.
"Due for" and "Start at" come to mind

Heh, "Start at" was the original text used for this feature. IIRC
because the menu included a "Today" option, it was felt "Start at"
wasn't the best title for the context menu.

However, conceptually "Start at" does seem a bit clearer (the field is
called the "start date" for instance). If it makes translation easier,
that's an added plus.

I suppose this bug is fixed in trunk. (I've merged patches adding "Set start date", "Set due date" submenus)
