Description Christopher Mohr 2025-02-01 20:22:06 UTC

SUMMARY
When I attempt to add a new calendar, the app does not give feedback whether the calendar was added or not. When it is not added, there is no error message stating why it failed, so I have nothing to go on when trying to solve the problem. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Move mouse pointer to lower left box on screen with "Birthdays & Anniversaries" and "Personal Calendar" options showing.
2. Right click within that box to bring up a menu and choose "Add Calendar..."
3. Enter the name of a new calendar, then click OK. 
4. No new calendar item appears in the list with "Birthdays & Anniversaries" and "Personal Calendar" options.
5. No error message appears about the failed attempt to add a new calendar. Is it a permissions issue? Is the name of the calendar reserved or invalid? Am I using a freeware version that does not allow the addition of new calendars? Does the app have problems in Ubuntu 24? I'm flying blind here.

the "Add Calendar..." option should bring up a dialog where you can choose which type of calendar to add (DAV, Google, ETCSync, etc)

If not, I have no idea what might be wrong.
You do seem to be using a pretty old version

agenttypedialog.cpp - UI improvements

Improve the UI:
 - if no resource type is selected then disable the Ok button
 - add a lineedit placeholder to indicate this is not the name
   of the account to add, but rather that this is a search line.
