GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 514997
duplicate anniversary in calendar
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:37:55 UTC
The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/183463 "Since anniversaries typically are between two people, if you have both in your contact list with the anniversary set, you will get two entries on that particular date in your calendar. This seems illogical. So, in stead of seeing: [ Anniversary: Smith, Jack (1) ] [ Anniversary: Smith, Jane (1) ] I'd expect to see: [ Anniversary: Jack and Jane (1) ] Also, I'd like to select how names should be formatted in anniversaries or birthdays, like 'first last', 'last, first' or 'last' or 'first' only; or possibly 'first'/'first (last)' or 'last'/last (first)' to resolve ambiguities."
Bumping version to a stable release.
Hmm, there is no real connection between Jack and Jane, I mean for the vCard data. There can be one deduced, like based on the Last name, but that doesn't always work too. I know the heuristic can be fine tuned, like adding into the equation also the anniversary year (not only date) and merge multiple events into one, but it'll still be a heuristic which can fail in some cases.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
