Bug ID: 481132
Summary: According documentation »kalarm« allows calendar
directories where each event is a single ICS file – in
practice it doesn't
Classification: Applications
Product: kalarm
Version: 3.5.4.2
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: djar...@kde.org
Reporter: flossy-...@online.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
According
https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kalarm/kalarm/create-edit.html#calendars
(search for the heading "Storage type") is claimed:
> KAlarm handles two alarm calendar storage types:
> …
> Local directory: Alarms are stored in a local folder, each alarm being stored
> in a separate iCalendar file within the folder.
> This storage method has the advantage that in the event of file corruption,
> you should lose only one alarm,
> not the entire calendar.
Exactly for that reason I wanted to create a "Local directory" calendar but
»kalarm« only allows to choose a
local ICS file (i.e. all events lumped together within a single).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open »kalarm« and add a new calendar
2. the popup window only allows to select a single ICS file, not a directory
and provides no way to create a "Local directory" calendar.
OBSERVED RESULT
No option to add a "Local directory" calendar in contrast to documentation:
> Add...
>
> Add a calendar of the selected type to the list. You are asked to choose a
> storage type, following which the calendar
> configuration dialog is displayed, where you can enter the location of the
> calendar and its characteristics. If there is no
> existing alarm calendar in the specified location, a new one will be created.
EXPECTED RESULT
»kalarm« provides the choice of storage type as documented and implements
adding "Local directory" calendars.
(much less prefered solution: documentation is corrected … ;-)
