Description Saihaj Johal 2025-03-11 08:49:26 UTC 
SUMMARY
When adding a remote iCal file using a URL, the read only option, which is needed for the calendar to sync properly, is not enabled despite what is stated in the dialogue box. Without ticking this box, Akonadi is unable to sync the calendar as it gets stuck trying to write to a read only calendar.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to calendars section of KOrganizer
2. Add "iCal Calendar File"
3. Enter URL linking to a .ics file

OBSERVED RESULT
"Read only" box remains unticked.

EXPECTED RESULT
"Read only" box is ticked automatically to allow the calendar to sync.

I verify that if the file is not marked as read-only in the Add "iCal Calendar File" configuration then it isn't added properly.
if I click the read-only box by hand then it works ok.

is that what you're seeing too?

Yes, this is the behaviour I am seeing.

singlefileresourceconfigwidgetbase.cpp - remotes are always read-only

Remote files must be read-only else the resource doesn't work.
The dialog itself says "Read-only mode is automatically enabled
when displaying a calendar from a remote URL".

Users can still toggle read-only for local files.
