It sounds to me like Jared is subscribing to a read only calendar here. It's really the collection that's read only, not individual events. In this case, you cannot drag and drop events to/from this calendar (at least this is what we had in the 0.6 calendar spec). You should get a popup telling you that you don't have permissions to do this.

I seem to remember that we wanted to be able drag read-only events onto other calendars but this was difficult for some reason.

FYI, here's the text from the spec...

For a read only calendars the following actions/edits are allowed.

    * Selecting an event.
    * Changing the color of a calendar.
    * Renaming the calendar in the sidebar.
    * Removing the calendar/collection from the sidebar.

For a read only calendars, the following actions will popup a dialog indicating to the user that they do not have permissions to edit events this calendar.

    * Edit any data in the detail view.
    * Removing an event.
    * Double clicking in the calendar view to create an event in-place.
    * Double clicking on an event in the detail view to edit in-place.
    * Drag and drop events to/from this calendar.
    * Drag events around the calendar view.
    * Creating events using the File menu or Ctrl-N.

Hi Jared,

You should be allowed to drag and drop and edit this item, since you created it.

Is the item already on your Calendar? If you created it, it should be. Sometimes when dragging, you have to first drag to the right before being allowed to drag to the left. I believe this is already in bugzilla. Could you try that and see if it works?

I recently set up a recurring meeting with a colleague where we both were using Chandler. I asked him to add the event to his collection (to which I had subscribed via a read-only ticket). We re-synced, I saw the event in
his collection.

I attempted to drag the event to my "Work" collection. As the event is read-only, Chandler won't let me drag it (and triggers a Chandler- freezing bug I'll open in bugzilla). It'd be fantastic if this instead somehow let me put a copy of this event in my Work collection and thereby see it in my regular view (where I don't normally overlap this colleague's calendar).

One wonders what might happen if the collection was instead subscribed to via read/write ticket. Would this operation then function as envisioned? Could we both change the recurrance by saying canceling a particular week's
meeting?
