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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

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.
