Printing just the starting times in monthly view

[SGNY]

I have a lot of events that have the same Start time and End time. When printing the monthly grid from the Lightning calendar (Thunderbird 45.2.0), is there a way to print just the Start times for these events?
Or, is there a way to print the monthly grid with just the Start time for all events (regardless of the End time)?

It seems strange that in the on-screen view, the End times are never printed, and in the printed grid, the End times are always printed, at least by default. I'm hoping Thunderbird/Lightning has a way to control this.

You would need to hack the extension to change the print utility.

* edit extensions\{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}\modules\calPrintUtils.jsm
* restart application

Code: Select all

  let itemInterval = cal.print.getItemIntervalString(item, boxDate);
+ itemInterval = itemInterval.replace(/\u2013.*/, "");

That hack removes the end times in the print preview dialog.

e.g. replace "9:00 AM–10:00 AM" with "9:00 AM"

Thank you. Is there a link to instructions for modifying an extension?

The extensions folder is in the profile folder.

You can use wordpad.exe to edit a text file with unix line endings.

Find:

Code: Select all

let itemInterval = cal.print.getItemIntervalString(item, boxDate);

Replace with:

Code: Select all

let itemInterval = cal.print.getItemIntervalString(item, boxDate);
itemInterval = itemInterval.replace(/\u2013.*/, "");

If you see the chrome.jar file in the extension folder, then remove the extension in the Add-ons Manager and install the extension from the AMO page, then the chrome folder appears instead of the chrome.jar file.
