I agree, these are all important considerations. Perhaps the calendar application can register itself as "indicator-datetime compatible" with an X- entry in its .desktop file, indicating that it meets the above criteria? Something like this:
X-Unity-Indicator-Datetime-Date: calendar --date %D X-Unity-Indicator-Datetime-Event: calendar --uid %U Verbose, and I'm sure more concise key names could be devised, but hopefully this would satisfy the requirements. This still requires the app writer to understand that they have to use EDS as their back-end. (We have a similar issue with GNOME Shell's calendar, by the way.) Yes, Yorba is looking at calendar integration. We've begun a new project toward that end: http://blogs.gnome.org/jnelson/2014/03/21 /introducing-california-a-new-gnome-3-calendar/ It uses EDS, so we're good on that point, but we'd need to add command-line support for opening to a date or an event (which we certainly would make happen if it would mean Unity integration). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308296 Title: Allow for other calendar applications to register with Unity calendar indicator To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-datetime/+bug/1308296/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
