           Summary: Currently, the "Reschedule" button is only available
                    if there is a conflict. It should be available at all
                    times.
           Product: korganizer
           Version: 4.8.x
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: groupware
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: itsef-admin at brightsight.com


Version:           4.8.x (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

In the old KOrganizer (e.g. KDE 3.5.x, Kolab e35), users could see the complete
free/busy schedule for each attendee they add to an event.

In the new KOrganizer (KDE 4.8.0 in any case), this is no longer the case.
There is only a button "Reschedule" which is greyed out unless a conflict is
detected with the Free/Busy schedule of any participating attendee. For many of
our users, this is insufficient. This is due to the following workflow:
When scheduling a meeting, many of our users will first consult the Free/Busy
schedule of all participants to avoid "back-to-back" meetings. For example, if
Free/Busy shows that one of the attendees already has a meeting from
10:00-11:00, the organiser will schedule the new meeting at 11:30, not at
11:00. With the new KOrganizer, this is no longer possible, as the Free/Busy
schedule is only visible in case of conflict - and there is no conflict shown
in case of "back-to-back" meetings, hence, it is not possible to see the
Free/Busy schedule.

Hence, the wish is to make the Free/Busy schedule available at all times, not
only if there is a conflict. Ideally, that would mean bringing back the old
interface, where the schedule is shown immediately for all participants.
Alternatively, if that is too much work, not greying out the "Reschedule"
button would probably suffice - as long as the schedule is always available in
some form, the workflow above can be satisfied.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
The Free/Busy schedule for all attendees of an event is available at all times,
not only in case of conflict.
