I subscribe to a couple of other people's office calendars. As a

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?
Jared, I believe Mimi wanted this behavior but it was going to be
difficult to implement do we had to punt on it. I may be confusing
this with the issue of having alarm's popup when you are not running
Chandler.
