Steps to reproduce:

1) Right ckick net work calendar
2) Select Options
3) Try to change Refresh Calendar


Actual results:

only possible to choose from Every minute, ..., Every 60 minutes


Expected results:

an option should be offered to choose Daily that will result in daily updates at 00:00 hours

some calendars, such as holiday calendars should be updated less frequently, this option fits this [urpose and reduces network traffic

this option should also be described in the documentation

More generally, I'd suggest the ability to specify the refresh interval in minutes instead of (or in addition to) having a limited set of pre-defined values.  I agree that one hour is too frequent for some calendars.

The upcoming duplicate also suggests adding predefined values with higher intervals.

A work-around is to change it in the Config Editor. The entries for network calendars are found under "calendar.registry". There, the refreshInterval can be set to an arbitrary number of minutes. It will even show the correct value in the user interface after this is done.
