Disable Google Calendar / Double click to open browser #30

Open null-von-sushi opened 6 years ago

null-von-sushi commented 6 years ago

How come there is an option with only one setting? "DoubleClick Date" only allows "Open New Event in Browser", there is no way to turn this off.

Alternatively, it would be nice to run a custom command to open a calendar application installed on the system.

Documents a feature.

Hints that someone could request a new feature (you're the first to do so).

I'm not sure if we can open up a specific "event" or "date" in Kontact, but we could probably open the calendar somehow (if that's what you were after).

Oh, fair enough. I half assumed I was missing some dependency or something.

Personally I only use KDE Plasma itself, most of my apps that I use are from the gnome stack or made for GTK (Kmail or Kontact seem a bit overkill and more Outlook-y. I just want one app that does one job). That said, I agree that Kontact is probably the better choice if it has to be hard coded.

I'm not sure if we can open up a specific "event" or "date" in Kontact, but we could probably open the > calendar somehow (if that's what you were after).

I am not sure if Kontact has a paremeter one can pass to it (something like --add-event), but if you could specify a custom executable a user could probably add that themselves? That way the user could enter their preferred calendar app of choice and have it be launched (or even launch a different website if they were using another web-based calendar, like Microsoft's or Nextcloud etc.)
