WPCentral Question

I want to be able to automatically turn on Quiet Times by location instead of time, if possible. Currently, I know how to set it up to enter quiet times if I set a specific time span for it, or if I set it up for quiet times during "busy" calendar events.

However, I think it would be awesome if this could be integrated into the phone to access your location, so that I can program it for a Quiet Time when I enter the Library, or a Hospital, or Church. Each location would have to be individually programmed into Cortana as a "Place", I'm sure, but that would really be awesome to be able to do.

I would also like to be able to customize the message Cortana gives if you are busy (a.k.a. quiet time scheduled) and an automated reply is generated, but don't know how or if that can be done.

Using a Nokia Lumia 520 with the Cyan/8.1 update.

No offense but if people got everything they wanted, the OS would take ten minutes to load, and Cortana would be cycling for a few minutes every time you try to use it. That is going far too close to the Google level of invasiveness for my taste as well. I am also confused as to what is so difficult about holding down the button to initiate Cortana voice input before walking into the library and saying "Turn On Quiet Hours" and then doing the same (saying "Turn Off Quiet Hours") when leaving the library.
 
I quite like the idea, but I have Quiet Hours pinned as an action above my notification centre, so it's just a case of opening the actions screen (whether the screen is locked or not) and pressing the button. So easy and only takes a second.
