Description Achim Rothe 2021-03-03 19:58:52 UTC

Hi, 

here is a 
Feature Request to improve korganizer even more:

1.) When I enter data in one of a repeated series of dates, aks me, if I want to change the information for this event only or for the whole series.
So far, it automatically the new (additional) changes are applied to all the repeated events.

2.) Similar, but different approach: I would love to cut out (ctrl-x) one event of a series of repeated events and let the others where they are. Then I could re-insert it at the same spot (with ctrl-v) and then edit it with the newinformation that is valid for this event only. 
So far when using ctr-x or del the whole series of events is completely deleted, even dates of the past. Here, it would be nice to be asked if the command shoul deffect the current date only or the whole series.

Addition:In case of re-insertion it might be nice to re-insert the date that I just cut of of a series at the same time (and date) and in the same calender.

2a) In such a case of cutting out a date from a series, it might be an idea to break the chain of repeated event into 2 chains: one that stopps before the date that has been cut out and the next (basicallly identical) starting with the next regular appearance after the cut out. 
This will keep the data of a "single" repeated event less filled with exceptions and therefore speed up calculations of what to display and what not to display. (I am talking about quite some school years with a lot of private instrucion students that have regluar appointments once a week but heavyly changing days and hours due to change of school and private extra activities.)


I am out of programming  myself for too long of a time to do it myself. 
So I hope, this idea finds somebody who sees the benefits.
(I am still impressed by BusyCal on the Mac... an korganizer is pretty close)

KOrganizer can do this now.  Right-click the occurrence that you want to change and select “Dissociate From Recurrence...”.  You should see a dialog box saying “Do you want to dissociate the occurrence on [date] from the recurrence or also dissociate future ones?”  Select “Only Dissociate This One” for case 1, “Also Dissociate Future Ones” for case 2a.  Changes you make to the dissociated occurrence do not affect the others.

You can also drag the occurrence to a new time, instead of cutting and pasting.  Dragging can implicitly dissociate the occurrence.
