Hi, I have been looking at "other" carddav/caldav systems and whilst
there isn't a global consensus on naming, several trends are visible:
For calendars, there is a strong trend to default to 2 default calendars
(icloud/google):
- Home
- Work
For addressbooks things are less clear, but I see:
- Many programs have a "Collected" folder that is used to collect
autocomplete addresses whenever you reply to someone. Common name seems
to be "Collected". eg see Thunderbird & Outlook (and a couple of others
I forget now)
- IOS 5 seems to have problems with multiple addressbooks and only shows
the first defined addressbook. IOS6.1 at least seems to support multiple
addressbooks, but I think new contacts still get added to the first defined
- Therefore you need to keep your "normal" contacts folder with a name
alphabetically below the "Collected" addressbook...
Therefore I propose it will be most familiar to new users if we change
the defaults as follows:
Calendar:
- Home
- Work
Contacts:
- Addressbook
- Collected
I would be happy to submit a patch for this, would a developer confirm
it's wanted?
(Note that OC currently only creates these default names if there are no
calendars/addressbooks defined - the change above is unlikely to confuse
existing users or break anything particular)
Thanks
Ed W
