Description Kevin Swift 2012-02-20 10:29:11 UTC

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.4) 
OS:                Linux

korganizer is read-only.

I cannot get it to create any items, everything is greyed out. It does not import my old calendar either.

kontact has the buttons shown, but clicking on them does nothing.

I have tried deleting my entire configuration (including akonadi), .config and other locations and adding new calendars etc. but nothing I do will make this application work.

This is a recent upgrade to FC16 will all the latest updates to date.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Delete all configuration.
try to use organizer (adding calendars as required)

Actual Results:  
impossible to add any items at all.

Expected Results:  
new items can be created or an error message that provides useful information is shown.

Create a new calendar.

Settings->General->Calendars

Make sure it's checked in the Calendar Manager: Sidebar->Show Calendar Manager

This is fixed in 4.8.1

Cannot get it to work.  I think I'll just hang on for Fedora releasing 4.8.1 and hope.

"Calendar Manager: Sidebar->Show Calendar Manager"

Where is that exactly???

Settings -> Sidebar

Enabling it should show the calendar manager at the bottom left, with checkboxes

Progress!!

The reason why everything was read-only was that the sidebar was completely hidden on the left. I noticed the tiny 3 dots and pulled it across.
Second the calendar manager at the bottom was hidden out of view, when I found this I was able to select the calendar resources and add things!

A usability suggestion would be to always ensure that the calendar manger and any sidebars are visible if they are enabled in the settings (including after a previous disablement)


I still have other crash issues (different bugs entered) but I think I am almost up to the point I was before the upgrade! :-)
