Description fake.name 2023-05-09 17:48:17 UTC

SUMMARY
Even though my default calendar is set to be korganizer (due, I add, to bugs in kalendar), "Add Event" on the dropdown of the Digital Clock widget silently fails (does absolutely nothing) unless kalendar is installed, in which case it will launch kalendar.
This has been ongoing since at least 5.27.2.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Do not install / uninstall Kalendar
2. attempt to use "add event"
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
silent failure unless Kalendar is installed

EXPECTED RESULT
The applet should consult the defaultcalendarrc file in the $XDG_HOME location, eg. /home/$USER/.config. If for some reason it HAS to be kalendar now, failure should be announced directly.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch 6.3.1
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5

The add event button will open your default calendar for the "text/calendar" mimetype (https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/applets/digital-clock/plugin/applicationintegration.cpp#L11)


could you check in your preferred application settings what is your default calendar application?

For some reason neither of them were at the top of the list. When I removed Kalendar from the rank entirely, I got korganizer to open it.
