           Summary: wish: read-only calendars should not cause reminder
                    alarms to fire (or this capability should be
                    configurable on a calendar by calendar basis)
           Product: korganizer
           Version: 4.2.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: doc.evans at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In a business environment, one may want to subscribe to a large number of
remote calendars in read-only mode (calendars for colleagues, departments,
etc.).

The current korganizer behaviour, however, makes this impractical, because if a
colleague places reminders on his calendar (which would be useful for him),
korganizer will fire those same reminders on *my* system. If subscribed to
calendars from many colleagues, one would be inundated all day with alarms
firing, none of which are relevant to *me*.

So either korganizer should simply NOT fire reminder alarms for remote
calendars (if I want to be reminded, then I can put a reminder in place on my
own calendar), or it should allow for the option of firing reminders on a
remote-calendar-by-remote-calendar basis.

(To make the current system even more aggravating, the time at which the alarm
is set to fire on the remote read-only calendar may well not be the time that I
would want to be reminded of the event.)
