I really appreciate the ability to lock my entire Agenda library on macOS behind a password/TouchID. However, in my use case I am primarily using Agenda to display meeting agendas and take notes during client-facing meetings that typically last about 2 hours each.
With the current app settings Agenda repeatedly timeouts and locks itself (it seems to be every 5 minutes) throughout my meetings, creating some annoyance and friction when I have to repeatedly unlock the app each time I want to reference the next agenda item or make a quick note of an action item.
Could we get a customizable setting that allows for different timeout periods? I would like something more like 30 minutes or even just a one-time check for the password each time the app is launched.
Any update on this? I continue to have to unlock my Agenda app several times during each client meeting. If a customizable setting is not on the immediate timeline, can I make the case for a longer timeout? Instead of 5 minutes, 10 minutes would reduce my timeouts by half. Heck, even an increase to 6 or 7 minutes would be an improvement.
Unfortunately this will only work once we put out a new release. Not sure when that will be, sorry. But if you use this command now, you will be ready for when it arrives. There is no harm having the setting already.
I just upgraded to Agenda 21 after having followed the steps you outlined to set a default timeout of 30 minutes. Unfortunately I just did a test and Agenda is still locking after 5 minutes . Any suggestions?
Using that command returns ā30ā so it appears the default has been set. However I just did another test and Agenda locks at 5 minutes of inactivity.
Yes, Iāve tried restarting the app, logging out and logging back in, and even restarting the computer. Testing after each of these steps results in the default timeout (i.e. 5 minutes). Not sure if it matters in terms of setting these ādefaultsā attributes, but I install/update the app via the Mac App Store.
Hopefully this can be resolved in an upcoming release and hopefully it isnāt months before that happens. I realize you are a small team, but this short timeout behaviour has been a daily hassle for me for well over a year now.
Just installed the 21.0.1 update and did a test. Timeout is still occurring at the default 5 minute mark. I double-checked the defaults attribute via Terminal and it still shows as 30 minutes. I also restarted the app and tested a second time, but had the same results.
I am fairly confident that Agenda was not running when I first applied the command for the default, but just to be sure I followed your specific instructions (changing the timeout to 29 minutes to confirm that it was properly applied this time) and I am having the same issue with Agenda locking after 5 minutes. This is now while running 21.0.2.
Can you confirm that the default is āappUnlockTimeInMinutesā and not āappLockTimeInMinutesā as perhaps it is something simple like that?
And just to confirm, have you tested this on your installation to confirm that with the default set to something like 30 minutes, that Agenda does not lock at the 5 minute mark?
. Any suggestions?
