            Bug ID: 481063
           Summary: A reminder option to run a command would enable
                    valuable use-cases
    Classification: Applications
           Product: korganizer
           Version: 5.22.3
          Platform: openSUSE
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: incidence editors
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: flossy-cat at online.de
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
A few examples of IMHO valuable use-cases:
* start a video-conferencing client a few minutes before a meeting
* start more complex set-ups like a VPN and a collaboration platform before a
meeting
* change the desktop activity suiting to the event or todo at hand

I consider the availability of such "user exits" to implement new and
sophisticated functionality (especially as a proof of new concept) generally as
an important advantage of the unixoid eco-system and characteristic for a
sophisticated usage of computers.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
Obviously when importing calendar or todo events from any source, "run command"
reminders MUST be ignored.
(As RFC 5545 does not provide for this kind of reminders the risk is
theoretical anyhow.)
