So just to check, the bug is that for new all-day events in PR1.3 there is a default alert of 15 mins before, whereas in PR1.2 the default was for no alert for all-day events?

ok how about we write a script which edits the database file that stores the event entry.

assumptions made
that the events are stored in a non encrypted format.
that the events are stored in database

to do this..
connect to database

for all all-day events
disable the configured alarm.

and then some way to trigger this after calender programme has exited.

The trigger is possible through dbus. The calendar application sends
a dbus signal if the db has changed.

The easiest solution would be nokia releases the source code for
this application :-)

I guess a related bug is that all day events in PR1.3 allow an alarm of 0, 5, 15, 30 mins, 1 or 3 hours before, in addition to the day before setting. Given that the day before setting allows you to pick the exact time of day, I see no use for the 0, 5, 15, 30 mins, 1 or 3 hours before settings.

Maybe this second bug is the cause of the first? Maybe the code is saying something like "Pick the 15 minutes before setting as the default alarm for an event", which in PR1.2 had no effect on all-day events because there was no 15 minute option, but in PR1.3 has the undesired effect we're seeing here. If Calendar was open-source we'd be able to tell!

Still, such speculation would probably not be particularly helpful in the bug reports.

Hello I'm havving this nasty issue:

.- Create a new Appointment in MS Outlook with default alarm 15 min before the Appointment.
2.- Sync N900 via OVI Suite and everything looks fine Sync DONE (no problems)
3.- Open calendar in N900 the appointment is there but without Alarm



This starts from PR 1.3 upgrade.
*OVI Suite version: 2.2.1.23
*MS Outlook 2007

someone have the same issue or anyway to fix it???

marioaguado, that's the third time I've seen this post from you, on unrelated threads. Please do not "cross-post" like that. The correct thread for your problem is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=64943 (which you have already posted to).

Hi. I got the All Day alarm when I updated to pr 1.4 ...

It's a bit annoying. Is there a solution for this?
