Changing the default google calendar event length Tuesday, Jan 20 2009 

Google App Engine and How To and MS Windows zoqui 2:35 pm

The default event time for all google calendar is one hour (1 hour), and there is no way to have it configurable. Most of therapist needs 30 minutes event, and for those who uses the google agenda, it is quite bit effort to get it right. There are already several posts asking how to change this time, but till now no response from google team.  So I have creted a very small program to make it easy to have 30 minutes event.

  • Download the executable
  • Execute it. You will notice a new Z icon at your system tray
  • You will notice a new tray icon (Z)
  • Now open the firefox and navigate to your google calendar page
  • Press ALT-Z and type the name of the patient and the the starting time.
    e.g: Albert 13:30

It is a good idea to make a startup shortcut to save even more time ; -)

The script was compiled by AutoHotKey, and its source code can be download here
