Indeed, this would need to be integrated in the form of all the PIM apps pulling their data from KAccounts , rather than doing their own things. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 432022 *** |
Created attachment 162853 [details] KAccounts asks for access to Google calendar, contacts and tasks, but does not set up a PIM account to actually access them. SUMMARY The Online Accounts KCM is very limited in the kinds of accounts you can set up through it. For example I can't set up Google or EWS PIM accounts through the Online Accounts KCM. This is in spite of the fact that when I set up a Google account, I am explicitly prompted to give KDE Online Accounts access to my Google calendar, contacts and tasks. (See screenshot.) This is very confusing for users; it is not obvious why a PIM account can't be set up in this way. To a user it may also seem suspicious; after all why is KDE Online Accounts asking me for access to my calendar, if then it's not going to give that access to me? I should be able to use System Settings as a single place to manage all my Online Accounts, which includes PIM accounts. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to System Settings → Online Accounts 2. Click "Add new account", select Google account 3. Give KDE Online Accounts permission to access your files, calendar, contacts and tasks 4. Open KOrganizer or Merkuro and look for calendars from the Google account you just created OBSERVED RESULT The account you just added does not appear in KDE PIM apps. The only thing I can use it for is uploading videos to Youtube. If I want to set up a Google or EWS groupware account, I cannot set this up using the Online Accounts KCM - I have to go through a separate UI in the KDE PIM apps. EXPECTED RESULT I should be able to add groupware accounts through System Settings - either through the Online Accounts KCM, or through some other KCM for setting up KDE PIM accounts.
