Hi Heikki: The latest design spec says that Calendar View is only shown for user collections. Personally, my preference would be to be able to see any collection (or combination of collections) through any view, i.e. let the user choose the view. John Heikki Toivonen wrote: I am somewhat confused about the new dashboard and default view. I look at the toolbar and see that calendar is selected, and I see (and can create) more events, yet I don't see the calendar view. I look at View menu, which has the Calendar entry selected. Looking through the other menus I have no idea how to get a calendar view.The only reason why I actually know calendar view works and how to get to it was by reading John's checkins comments where he mentioned that you need to create a collection. And that still does not show the dashboard items in the calendar view. And now that I have a collection of my own and the dashboard, clicking between them switches between table view and calendar view even though both show events. I am not sure what would be the best way to change this, but the current situation feels like a wrong approach. I think I would expect a PIM to start with a calendar view. I also think that Dashboard acts so differently from all the other collections in the sidebar that I don't think it should be in the sidebar at all. I think it should be a new button on the toolbar. |
