Description Andreas Roth 2011-01-21 10:09:11 UTC
Version:           4.4.5 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

If two kolab clients access the same todo items, but do not have the same list of categories, the categories of the todo item are displayed as empty.
I've seen this using kolab as common data source, but i think this could also be a problem with other common data sources (like a google calendar).

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
- create a new category 'for testing' on kolab client a
- create a new todo and select the new category 'for testing' (on kolab client a)
- start korganizer on kolab client b
- open the newly create todo and see the field categories (it's empty)

Actual Results:  
- categories on kolab client b are empty

Expected Results:  
- categories should be 'for testing' (even if the category is locally not configured).

It would be great if the categories could be synchronised between different kolab clients. One easy way would be to import the unknown/locally-not-configure categories into the local list of categories.
