Projected date/times inconsistent with the set.
-
Until recently, everything was working as intended. However, for some time now, when I set the Start date and End date, the Projected date/time is completely inconsistent with the settings. It looks as if the initial date is set in stone, while the end date is calculated based on the difference in days between the start date and end date, and then this difference is added to the start date which is always the same. Examples are provided in the attached screenshots. The plugin itself works flawlessly once the Projected date/time is properly set.

Since it makes no sense to get all values of the past, the projected dates/times will not display all available dates but will limit the start date to the current date minus a certain value depending on the interval.
For hourly intervals: start at current date minus 1 day
For daily intervals: start at current date minus 7 days
For weekly intervals: start at current date minus 21 days
For monthly intervals: start at current date minus 80 days
For yearly intervals: start at current date minus 380 daysExample: you set a rule to start on January 1, 2013 with daily repetetion. To get all the possible dates for that rule until today and a few weeks in the future this would mean to calculate more than ten(!) years or 3650 values until today. But most likely you don’t want to see the dates from 10 years ago but the values how they will be now and some days or weeks into the future.
Edit: maybe I will add some indication in the date list to explain what start date is used for the list and why.
