I didn't hear any feedback on this bug and wanted to ask if there were any questions/issues with the proposal.

Is it possible to display basic information about the collection when the user switches collection view?

*OR*

Could we just blank detail view window when the user switches their collection?

Thoughts? -Priscilla

*Issue*
Currently in Cosmo 0.6, when we switch collections the detail view displays the last event of the week even if that falls outside of the viewable calendar area.

This should be consistent with what Chandler displays which I believe is first of today's events. There are number of fall back rules as well. Mimi, has the entire list since we have already incorporated that for Chandler.

In Chandler, when there are no overlays, we persist the 'last selected event' in each calendar.

So if you have event A selected in Home and event B selected in Work, when you return to Home, event A is in the detail view...even if the user has navigated to a different week and can't see event A in the calendar pane.

With overlays, it gets more complicated because we always try to 'keep the same event selected' as you traverse collections in the sidebar...but we don't have to worry about that in Cosmo for a while.

So I tried this on Chandler_osx_0.7alpha5.dev-r13755- checkpoint20070402
1. click on an event on my collection
2. if I move the week forward or back, the event detail I had clicked on is still displayed in the event detail
3. If I select another collection, the event detail blanks.

Is the correct behavior?

*Proposal*
For Preview, to blank out the Detail View when switching collections. Or a *nice to have* is to display information about the collection when switching.

+ Title of the collection
+ If it's a subscription the URL/Ticket
+ Date of when it was last updated
