Hi,
I'm having issues related to date and times management. When I choose add to calendar, sometimes it either inverts start and due dates or it proposes today.

Also, for multiday tasks "Agenda Widget" only shows the task on end day. This one may be an agenda widget bug, but it looks like it is related with the inversion above.

Both apps are the full version from the play store.

While I can't speak for Agenda Widget (they seem to have some other bugs with Due Today in their paid version but not their lite version, the date issue is very interesting as I've never heard about this before.

When you say that they're inverted, where are you seeing this? Is it in the task list or when you select the dates? If it's in the task list then it's just cosmetic and I can fix that quickly. If it's anywhere else then it's a major problem.

Within Due Today everything is fine.

However, when I try to add the task to the calendar either I see today's date (most common) or start and due are inversed.

When I confirm the task is added, but with the wrong dates, so it isn't cosmetic.

My impression is that when sending data to other apps DT inverts the two fields and then receiving apps do their best to correct this inversion since of course they cannot accept a due date that precedes start date. Which would explain why Agenda Widget only shows the task on due date rather than for the whole timespan like it does correctly with Google Calendar events or Toodledo iCal files.

Let me know if I can do anything to help.

You're right, it's not cosmetic. I was thinking that the issue was somewhere completely different, so thank you for the screenshots. I'll fix that right now.

Did yesterday's update not fix the issue? I added code to validate the dates and times in the latest release. But, if it's still not working then maybe I missed something.

Reading the changelog I hoped it, but it didn't. If I chose "add to calendar" it sets from today (rounded to next hour), and "to" is one hour later. Agenda Widget still doesn't behave properly but that maybe its own problem (or tasks work differently than events).

I can't comment on Agenda Widget as I don't use it. But, there have been some issues reported against it. I'll keep looking into the calendaring issues.
