[edit]

Exchange support

  • Exchange Delegates support (Mail/Calendar)
  • Exchange Summary support (Show from cache)
[edit]

Calendar

  • Work out calendar tooltip slugish behaviour (bug #)
    • Can you be more descriptive. Please give the bug id if there are any.
      • Tooltip on calendar events is really slow to (re)draw so on slow computer you often see a not so nice trace when moving the mouse a bit fast, will search for a bug ID or fill one ASAP
  • Add a legend on printing a calendar page (daily, weekly, whatever) so that you can tell the difference between different calendars. This is especially important on black & white printers.
  • Timezone handling
    • Optionally show time and timezone somewhere in a corner
    • When selecting the timezone
      • Remember favorite timezones in a drop down menu. Selecting locations on the map is annoying
      • Add "use system TZ" option
    • When adding an appointment
      • Add support for different timezones for start and end of an event (e.g. flights)
    • Use UTC entries in the ics file only, since some sync programs ignore and even strip TC info. Yes, i really mean using a TZ field for editing the time but not storing the TZ info.
