Description Matty R 2020-11-08 05:20:18 UTC

SUMMARY
I'm attempting to use some gdbus calls for initiating the new event dialog on a specific date. The UI does not update when launched with some gdbus calls, and openEventEditor does not create a new event on the selected date.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch korganizer with:

$ gdbus call --session --dest=org.kde.korganizer --object-path=/Calendar --method=org.kde.Korganizer.Calendar.goDate "(2020,12,31)" && gdbus call --session --dest=org.kde.korganizer --object-path=/Calendar --method=org.kde.Korganizer.Calendar.openEventEditor

OBSERVED RESULT
Korganizer launches, New event dialog is shown. New event is created on current date (not selected date), Month view is not showing the correct Month from the date selected.

EXPECTED RESULT
Korganizer launches with the correct date selected, with the Month view updated accordingly. New event dialog has the date set to the selected date.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm working on adding a feature to a calendar widget that will allow the user double-click a date in the widget, and launch korganizer to create an event on that date.

If there is a better method for launching the new event dialog from gdbus or something else, please let me know.

(edit)

$ gdbus call --session --dest=org.kde.korganizer --object-path=/Calendar --method=org.kde.Korganizer.Calendar.goDate "(2020,12,31)" && gdbus call --session --dest=org.kde.korganizer --object-path=/Calendar --method=org.kde.Korganizer.Calendar.openEventEditor ""

I confirm it.
by default it uses current date.
I am not sure that I need to fix this method or create new method.
But it seems more logical to use selected date.

Nothing happening with this - closing
