Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

Is there any way to delete a single occurrence of a repeating event?

I had this on the Palm OS. Let's say I have a weekly meeting and this weeks meeting is canceled. I want to cancel that single occurrence of a repeating event, without repeating the whole series.

This would be handy to have.

Blomin' 'eck! If Nokia take note of votes, this must surely be a brainstorm they must take on board!

Should I pop the top couple down as 'enhancement requests' in the bugzilla and see what happens?

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

LOL, any possibility you could translate this to North American?

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

I'm sorry, I don't speak North American - is there a common language we might use? Esperanto, anyone?

is an exclamation of surprise using mild expletives: I'm sure you can find a equivalent.

is intended to imply that the number of votes accrued to this brainstorm means it should merit the attention of Nokia developers

Is an offer to enter the two highest voted entries as enhancement requests.
;)

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

I already know what will happen:

But I'll vote for it if you give it a try. :)

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

Is this Brainstorm still open for additional suggestions?

Or would it be better to create new brainstorms for new calendar improvement ideas?

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

anything happening with this, something like Epocware's Handy Calendar would be great [they have no plans to develop Maemo software :( ]

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

Just want to bump this: I love the polish on the default calendar app of Maemo/N900; the only thing I really want is for it to be able to subscribe to iCalendars online (*not* just Google calendar; ANY iCal/vCal given a URL). I've looked at gpe-calendar, but it's just not as polished; the buttons for new appointments are way to small for fingers, it doesn't get birthdays from contacts, and the desktop widget is obnoxiously huge compared to the default calendar desktop widget. It's either modify the default calendar to subscribe or modify gpe-calendar to be more polished; I'm game for either . . .

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

I wondered if it would be possible to improve the customisable events on the calendar. I do shift work and only have a certain number of shift times (ie 0700 to 1900, 0730 to 1930, 1930 to 0730). I would like to have a method to alter the customisable events to include these shift times so I can add them directly to the day I'm working rather than having to enter it all manually.

However if this is already possible could someone take pity on me and explain how....:confused:

see CalDAV support for Maemo calendar; add solutions and/or cast a vote on existing ones.

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

For arbritarily reoccuring event types you could try creating one of each type in Outlook (or other calendar app capable of) saving them as iCal files and emailing them to your n900. Save the email in a new folder called something like calendar templates. Each time you want to put one of these events in, goto the email and open the relevant iCal attachment. This will be imported into the Calendar, albeit for the date for which it was originally created. All you then have to do is find it and change the date.

I have set up repeating events for my shift pattern in Outlook, saved as iCal and emailled them to my n900. Despite the fact they are on a 4 weekly repeating pattern rather than one supported for entry by the calendar app, they have imported fine. I have also set up a calendar called days and a calendar called nights, given each a suitable colour and put the shift events into the relevant calendar for ease of viewing.

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

Well done! Didn't Palm do that 10 years ago, LOL!

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

Awesome! Thanks! BTW, this might seem like a stupid noob question, but where could I get the source for the N900 calendar? I wouldn't mind taking a whack at this problem myself.

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

To my understanding N900 calendar is not open source.

Calendar backend is but apparently that does not help.

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

Thanks for that - I'll shall have a go later!

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6933 is good example ;D

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

That's as far as I got in trying to find someone willing to tackle this. Unfortunately, our options are pretty limited unless Nokia can be persuaded to incorporate a few of these bits. :(

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

Hmm, might be time for me to grab the gpe-calendar source and start hacking . . .

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

I'm just swooping in here so please take my comments with a grain of salt. Why reinvent the wheel? Meamo is Linux. Why not use one of the many existing Calendar/TODO apps? To name a few:
Remind (including tk and wx and wyrd)
Kalendar
Event and Task Manager
Taskwarrior.

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

This brainstorm seems to be quiet..any progress happening?

Since PR 1.2 brings no relevant improvement to calendar and Nokia pushed Maemo5 to side track (hard to believe that Nokia would much improve closed solutions like Calendar and Modest any longer, all intrest is moving to MeeGo), the only real solution must come from community. I'm missing age display in birthdays, search in calendar and adjustable day view (start/end hours) and sync to gmail/thunderbird lightning.

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

It would be nice if they would release the source code for the Calendar so that it could be mod'd by the Community.

Pet Peeve of mine is that I can delete one instance of a repeating event. I have to delete all occurrences. My Palm could do that 10 years ago!

Re: [Under consideration] Improve the calendar
 

Well, since the calendar is closed source the community can't help much. There is a thread somewhere that deals with the efforts of creating separete search aplication but it has also been quiet for some time. Sync to gmail should work with erminig-ng, don't know about thunderbird. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=40408

I think that it is not possible for anyone outside Nokia to help with age display or adjustable day view.
