I like this idea, and I had suggested this in the spec already, with "Coming events from" being a menu of calendar apps rather than just an Evolution checkbox. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate#PC>
I suggest being much less specific with the key names. The event function at least would be useful outside of indicator-datetime (for example, an address book listing which events involve a particular contact), and indicator-datetime itself both predated and might outlive Unity. We would also need some way of defining which is your default calendar app, similar to how you have a default browser and a default mailer, so that the correct app is launched when you click on a date. And then we'd need to define what to do in the delightful edge case where your default calendar app does not know how to navigate to a day but a non-default app does. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308296 Title: Allow for other calendar applications to register with Unity calendar indicator Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: It appears that Unity's calendar indicator (in the global menu, right- side of the screen) is hardwired to launch Evolution if an event is selected. In System Settings, the only checkbox relevant to this is to show "Coming events from Evolution Calendar". It'd be nice if instead the Unity calendar indicator would launch the user's chosen default calendar application. I'm not suggesting that the calendar indicator quit using Evolution Data Server for calendar information, just which application is launched in response to a user event.
