Description Alexandros Papadopoulos 2004-09-27 11:15:25 UTC
Version:           3.2.1 (using KDE 3.2.3,  (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (Debian 20040422)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.25-1-386

It would be nice to be able to tell when I created a specific event.

Thus, when one sees a note at date X saying that such-and-such has to happen, that person will be able to tell when this event was conceived/scheduled in korganizer.

I was actually a bit hesitant to implement this. 

The creation date is -- at least in my eyes -- one of the least important 
information of the event. If we show the creation date in the event viewer, 
we'll also have to show the last modification time, the alarm, the 
transparency, the secrecy, the location, the recurrence settings (including 
of course the exception dates), etc. Soon, the event viewer will be crammed 
with completely unimportant information.

Also, this will not actually fix the problem of the bug report, where the user 
wanted to see the date, when he accepted the event. The creation date will 
still be the date when the organizer created the event, not the time when the 
event was accepted.

Perhaps it is necesary to redefine the event viewer, to can view all interesting data that involves it. 

Could it be based on templates with keywords in them that define the position and the format? We can work on this. In this way, I'll learn more over korganizer, libkcal ant others... ( 

Sorry, I did not think on groupware,(I only work with korganizer with me ;-).
I'll try think more on groupware.

I reopen the whislist, to don't forget this entry.

Another idea is to basically have a long and a short versions of the text for 
the event viewer. Basically 

Title
Here comes the summary
Location: Museumsquartier
On: 09.10.2004 From: 20:00 To: 23:59
Category: Whatever
50% completed

-> Details
Organizer:
Attendees:
Creation date:
Recurs:

The '->' is an arrow, which opens/closes the whole details section (like 
several dialogs on MacOS have it). So by default only the most important 
fields are shown, but on request, the user can investigate all settings of 
the incidence.

However, I don't know if KTextView supports this...

I am using KOrganizer for my organizing my work along the lines of Getting Things Done by David Allen and I would love a way to tell when I created an event or a task. Currently I add the date to the name of the event or the task manually. Would be nice if KOrganizer could keep track of the creation date automatically for me.

A template or an basic/extended view is a good idea IMHO.
Comment 6 Allen Winter 2006-10-18 04:12:32 UTC
In the KOrganizer that comes with KDE 3.5.5, if you click on the event you will see the creation date in the event viewer.

I think this is enough to close out the original wish.

Please try out KDE 3.5.5 and if there is still more info you want to see in the event viewer then I would appreciate it you would open a new bug.
