           Summary: Dissociate From Recurrence broken
           Product: korganizer
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tassilo at member.fsf.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I have quite a lot recurring events (weekly on a given day).  Usually, when
creating such an event, I don't know when it will end or any exceptions, and so
I don't specify such things.

I guess, the "Dissociate From Recurrence..." context menu entry is exactly for
conveniently adding an exception or an end date depending on a user's choice in
the "Only dissociate this one" (Exception) / "Also dissociate future ones" (end
date) dialog.

Both dissociation types are totally broken in KDE 4.4.3.

Here's a recipe for the end date usecase:

  1. Create a new event Bar recurring every Tueday.
  2. Jump forward one week and select that event.
  3. Select "Dissociate from Recurrence..." -> "Also dissociate future ones"

In the summary, the event still shows up in any future week.

When checking the properties of the Bar event I've just dissociated, there is
no exception nor an end date.
When checking the properties of the first Bar event (in the previous week),
this one now has an end date set: the Monday before the Tuesday from which on I
dissociated...

Checking the std.ics file, there are 2 VEVENTs for Bar now.  One with end date
and one without.

What it should have done in this "Also dissociate future ones" use case was to
add an end date to the existing entry.

(I'll add a recipe for the bug in the "Only dissociate this one" usecase
later...)
