I subscribe to a couple of other people's office calendars. As a
result, I get lots of alarm pop-ups. A pretty small percentage are
mine, so they are starting to feel like a nuisance.
It's fair to assume that these subscriptions were shared with "share
alarms" checked. During my last restore, I avoided any "share alarms"
widgets during the initial subscription process, but the sharer settings
are what matter, correct?
The collections don't represent group projects with the sharer; they are
"work calendars" used primarily for scheduling with coworkers. I'm
musing whether this issue would still be an issue if I was using future
scheduling features, or freebusy (which probably doesn't have alarms,
right?).
But there's also an aspect of tracking some projects/collections in a
light, read-only sort of way. I believe this mode is likely to be used
across user profiles and phases; it's not hard to imagine hubs, casual
collaborators, individual contributors, and others having a few
collections subscribed in this fashion. Does it seem like "other's
people's alarms" will be seen by many adopters?
Ultimately, I'd love to be able to just not get pop-up alarms for
subscribed collections when I indicate that preference. Probably not
feasible in Preview?
Side question: All alarm notifications also leave Chandler as the
foreground app after I interact with the notification dialog. I was
hoping that a dismissed alarm dialog would leave me in the app I was
working in. I was hoping to check if this was a known issue or
by-design before filing the ticket; thoughts?
