Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: SuSE RPMs By this I mean, that if choose recurrent event the date&time end should be disabled really because it is not relevant here (and in current implementation it misinforms the user).
Call me numb, but again I don't know exactly what you mean. What exactly do you want to see disabled and why?
In general an event has a start and an end, right? With start there is no problem in Korganizer, but with end there is -- because there is no one end, but two ends. So how can you tell which is really valid, or which one is more valid? My wish is that user would see just one end --> if you set event as recurrent "normal" end should be disabled, and this way it would be crystal clear that "recurrent" end is the valid one. However, I don't insist on any particular way of solving it.

Actually, a recurring event is in fact a sequent of multiple events! In particular, you have two different events in this case, each with its own end. E.g. take an event on Monday, on August 13, from 8:00 to 9:00, recurring weekly until December 31. This is entered in korganizer as an event on August 13, 8:00 to 9:00. You then select weekly recurrence until December 31. As a result, you have a sequence of events: -) Aug 13, 8-9 (duration=1 hour) -) Aug 20, start: 8:00, end: start+duration=9:00 -) Aug 27, start: 8:00, end: start+duration=9:00 ... -) Dec 31, start: 8:00, end: start+duration=9:00 As you can see, the recurrence end date is just the limit up to which date the sequence of events is generated. The event's end date/time is still the "real" end time for the event. Cheers, Reinhold
And this is a WONTFIX, per Reinholds explaination. Those two end dates are really required.
Reinhold thank you for the explanation, could it be put in help (or what's this)? It would really help understand immediately Korganizer concepts without guessing.
