I am with you, Sebastien. However, having to install Evolution alongside with Thunderbird doesn't make much sense from an end-user standpoint either. In order for Evo's calendar function to work, one has to at least set up one email account first, which is redundant with what that user might already have set up for Thunderbird.
If Evolution would offer to only install the calendar portion, which then could be configured individually and detached from email, it would work. However, I believe it would be smart to use the existing Online Accounts option that already allow for Google accounts to be set up. Why not extend this towards Google Calendar as well? Once that Online Account was set up, it should ask the user of they want to integrate Google Calendar in Ubuntu... That would be nice. Very nice indeed. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to desktop-file-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841409 Title: GEdit is the only choice as Calendar application in Default Applications dialog Status in GNOME Control Center: New Status in “desktop-file-utils” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “desktop-file-utils” source package in Oneiric: Won't Fix Status in “gtk+3.0” source package in Oneiric: Won't Fix Status in “desktop-file-utils” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “gtk+3.0” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: In Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10) beta1, opening the Default Applications dialog (System Settings -> System Information), GEdit is selected (and only possible choice) for Calendar items. I think this is not expected, since it is not so useful to open calendar data as standard text). In Oneiric Thunderbird is default email client. Currently Thunderbird7 beta is installed, and I noticed the Lightning extension for Calendar is not compatible with it yet. Will Thunderbird/Lightining be possible values for Calendar applications?
