Christmas Day screen shots

In all but one of the shots of the main window of iCal, we see a mysterious 'Google Mail tasks' calendar. I can't recall the origin of this calendar, maybe it was configured by some third party software (but not Calaboration). I discarded or disordered some shots long after the event.

Loss of data

The final shot reminds me that loss occurs when, in iCal, a note is dragged from Chandler Hub to Google Calendar. Whilst I don't see this as a Chandler Server (Cosmo) issue, I have created bug 12521 to raise awareness.

Caution

When working with two CalDAV servers, one of which does not support a CalDAV client feature set:

  • back up
  • if any error message is presented, or if strange behaviour is noted, ensure that your data has not been lost.

  • the words 'Done' and 'completed' are a poor mixture in the context of a To Do Item:

  • With a CalDAV connection to Google Calendar: try but fail to create a To Do Item:

It's probably best to ignore the comments that appear in the table of attachments, below. I can't figure out how to correct that table without spoiling this main area, edition of wikis is not my favourite past-time.
