           Summary: Rework the access settings (private, public,
                    confidential) in korganizer
           Product: korganizer
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde at lazs.de


Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

As outlined in [1], Bernhard suggests to remove the "Access" setting from the
event editor and implement a mapping of categories:

Setting   Category
public <->  <none of the other>
private <-> private
confidential <-> confidential

This is especially helpful for Kontact-Mobile where screenspace is even more
valuable than with the desktop Kontact. The desktop version would also profit
from the change.

It also does affect usabiliy:
* one extra button
* high chance of missunderstanding on the button

It seems that the concept of public, privat and confidential is also
contradictory to the concepts of granted rights within a groupware structure.
