Comment 1 for bug 283261

Does the "lead time" feature do what you need?

For example, if you don't want to see an item until the day it's due...

All due items have a default lead time of 1 month, which is why they float up slowly. I could make the default lead time a config option if you want those to be 1 day or 12 hours or some other value instead. Would that work for you? (BTW, you can also set a default lead time per-file, if that's more appropriate)

Also, all floating recurring items have a default lead time of half the recur interval. It can be overridden by setting an explicit lead time. Do you think it should have a different default?
