Bug ID: 481166
Summary: When entering VTODOs into KALARM's ICAL calender they
are ignored
Classification: Applications
Product: kalarm
Version: 3.5.4.2
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: djar...@kde.org
Reporter: flossy-...@online.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When entering VTODOs with active alarms into »kalarm«'s ICAL calender – e.g.
with »korganizer« (see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481024) – they are
ignored: Neither are they displayed in the listing of »kalarm« nor are their
alarms triggered and reminded.
This is somewhat unexpected, as VEVENTs and VTODOs are extremly similar in
structure and especially the reminders (VALARMs) used, are completely identical
data structures, used in an identical manner both in VEVENTs and VTODOs.
(There might be a reason for this behavior (being an active design decision) –
but it is not obvious for me.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Stop »kalarm« completely.
2. Create a valid VTODO with alarms in the near future and insert it into the
active calendar of »kalarm« – i.e. "~/.local/share/kalarm/calendar.ics", e.g.
via »korganizer« or some other calendaring tool or manually.
3. Create similarly a VEVENT.
4. Restart »kalarm«.
(tested: a running »kalarm« actually notices the file change and processes the
change – well done!)
5. look into the list of future alarms + calendar entries – the VEVENT shows,
the VTODO not …
6. Wait for the alarms – the VEVENT alarms trigger, the VTODO alarms not …
OBSERVED RESULT
The VTODO is neither displayed nor its alarms (VALARMs) rung.
EXPECTED RESULT
VTODOs are displayed and reminded like their "fraternal twin" VEVENT.
