GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 320071
unclear why you can't edit appointment in local calendar

This may relate to bug #320070#, the conflicting appointment is completely un-editable when I open it. The calendar that contains it is on the local machine, and AFAICS there is nothing special about it - so; why can't I edit it ? Of course - it recurrs but then - so do a lot of meetings ... screenshots & calendar files on demand.
any chance to attach it here (and destroy confidiential data before)?
Created attachment 54120 [details] ical appointment: uneditable for me I hacked the relevant appointment out of my local calendar - hope it's ok. Interesting to see quite so many X-MICROSOFT tags in there :-)
Its because an attendee cannot modify a meeting. Only the organizer can edit it. Perhaps an attendee can set alarms, set the busy status etc.
There is no way for the user to know this - and it patently isn't obvious. We need some UI change here to make it clear *why* the appointment appears completely un-editable :-)
this would require string changes, therefore adding keyword
srini: advanced nosip task?
Created attachment 139500 [details] [review] proposed evo patch for evolution; New strings, blah. Feel free to suggest better sentences. Please note also possible leak fix. I wonder why such common things are not superclassed in some parent of the page "class", thus there would be minimized code duplication.
patch looks good to commit. Please announce the string changes. There are some bits similar to the same that needs cleanup there. We can take that up later.
