nik90, what I mean is that the necessary information you're referring to
would be encoded in the URL that is provided by clock-app (or by the
alarm controls in ubuntu-ui-toollkit, depending on where that logic
lives).
So I'd like to replace the current implentation
('url_dispatch("appid://com.ubuntu.calendar/calendar/current-user-
version")') with something like 'url_dispatch(event.url)' where the url
would be provided by clock/calendar/reminder and would read something
like, say, 'appid://com.ubuntu.calendar/calendar/current-user-
version?alarm=someAlarmId'
This would require clock-app (or the alarm controls) to add this code,
but the advantage of this approach is it scales to future third-party
apps as well as adding reminder to the current pool of clock & calendar.
** Description changed:
indicator-datetime needs a way to dispatch an arbitrary URL when a user
clicks on an ical event menuitem.
In practice, datetime currently has clock-app hardwired for dispatching
alarms (dispatch_url('appid://com.ubuntu.clock/clock/current-user-
version')) and calendar-app for everything else
(dispatch_url('appid://com.ubuntu.calendar/calendar/current-user-
version')).
There are two use cases that can be supported by datetime handling the
URL property <http://www.kanzaki.com/docs/ical/url.html>:
(1) Clicking on an alarm menuitem opens up clock-app to that specific
alarm, rather than to clock-app's main page. Clock-app could specify the
information it needs in the URL, then open the right page when passed
that information later. indicator-datetime would act as a simple pass-
through.
(2) non-calendar, non-alarm items such as from the reminders app as
requested by mzanetti. The pattern would be the same as clock-app:
Reminders would add whatever URL it wants, then datetime would act as a
simple pass-through. This is preferable to adding more special cases to
indicator-datetime.
