[Koha-patches] [PATCH] [bug #2770][3.2] change the date calc, to set the date_due to date_due+loanlength.

[Michael Hafen]

My librarians in the past have had discussions over this feature in the
past.  The consensus here was that predictability is better.  With the
new due date calculated from the old due date it is not predictable.
The librarian has no idea before hand what date to stamp on the checkout
slip that goes in the book.  With the due date calculated from today the
librarian can be fairly certain before hand what the new due date will
be, and have the stamp ready for that date.

I would like to see this feature enclosed in a System Preference.
Thanks.
