[Kde-pim] kde pim 4.6 calender issues (coloring, e-mail alisas)‏

[Ivo Couckuyt]

 Hi all,

I have posted this message kdepim-users too, but as it is about kde pim 4.6 rc1 I post it here as well. Hoping for more feedback here :-)

 I have been trying out kde pim 4.6 rc1 (on kde 4.6) with
 the goal of finally starting to use a calender. I have configured two
 google calenders (calender I is mine, calender II (lets say of my boss :) ) is
 read-only)
 using the davgroupware akonadi resource which works great, however I have some questions about the behaviour of korganizer:

 1.
 My google calender has been created by my department using my
 department's e-mail. However I only use my global university e-mail for
 sending mails (and kmail2 is configured as such), hence sending out
 invitations (and receiving them) don't work (the smtp server I use
 doesnt accept my department's e-mail and korganiser doesn't seem to recognise
 invitations that have been sent directly to my global university
 e-mail).

 Is it possible to create e-mail aliases somehow ? So my university e-mail is also recognised ?

 2.
 I have created an event in calender I and invited my boss of calender
 II. My boss accepted, but changed some options of the event (filling in
 the exact time). Now I have two events with the same name at the same
 time (probably google calender's fault I guess) but in korganizer the
 coloring is mixed up. Depending on the order that I enable/disabled the
 calenders the two events will have change colors:

 -> only enable calender I -> the event in question is RED
 -> enabled calender I, and then calender II -> the two events are now BLUE
 -> disabling calender II again -> the event in question remains BLUE

 This is tested in the month view.

 3. Another example that I think is due to 1. and 2.
 My
 boss has created an event and invited me using my global university
 e-mail, however the color of that event is BLUE (= calender II).
> Wouldn't it be better to use the color of calender I for all events that
 I participate in ? So that I can see what to do at a glimpse, now I have
 to browse through all events and see if I am a participant.

 4.
 This is more of a feature request. What about marking newly created
 events in bold (and/or displayed the number of 'unread' events besides
 the calender name ? Much like kmail2) ?

 I hope it is somewhat clear, I find it quite hard to explain. Should I file bug reports or am I missing out on settings and/or functionality ?

 best wishes,
 ilm
