One way we could address this issue is to provide the same visual
feedback that we provide when users select an OOTB collection and we
'turn off' overlays in the Calendar App...we de-activate the
collection overlay icons on the left-hand side.
This way, you at least get some visual feedback that overlay
functionality has been turned-off or is not supported when you enter
and exit the Calendar App. You at least have a chance of associating
overlay support with the Calendar App area.
John and Philippe, do you have any thoughts on this? Does this sound
like a feasible and reasonable compromise for Beta?
I guess it's feasible and, in the absence of a decent visual for
overlays in the Summary Table View, certainly better. Users are not
accustomed anyway to overlay outside calendars. This however sort of
recreate the walled "folders" that we want to free people from in Chandler.
In the long run, I think we all agree that we'll need a visual solution
in the Summary Table View to allow overlays. This would be a true
innovation in the field and a welcomed one.
Cheers,
