Make opening hour selector clearer
Opened this issue · 5 comments
I think that the opening hours selector it's a bit weird if an user wants to set a time range that goes past midnight. I mean, why does it displays numbers as 23>24>25>26>...>48 and not 23>24>1>2>...>24? OSMAnd and Street complete they both use a clock to let the user set the opening hour tag and I think it's way more clear that counting up to 48.
Well the immediate reason is that using > 24 hour numbers for the next day is what the OH-spec requires, so that will be what we normally write to the OH string.
From an UI pov, we don't necessarily have to use these numbers, but what it does need then is an indication that it is the next day otherwise there would be no way to differentiate between the two times with the same numerical value.
I get it, but I think that if someone set the hours at 19:00-2:00 they intend the 2 of the following day. I think that nobody will think that if they set 19:00-2:00 they expect the program to set the tag as 2:00-19:00.
The problem is that you have to differentiate in the selector itself say a time range from 06:00 to 29:00
which without using some kind of "next day" indicator will be 06:00 to 07:00 which is not the same.
I see the problem, but that's a very odd opening length and I don't think it occurs anywhere. I have a strange idea, but at the moment I can't edit images. I'll write back later when I've done the pictures.
I was thinking at something like this
So that the user can clearly understand that the "2" it's not on the same day as the "19".
