GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 587067
inherit reminder feature is undocumented
Last modified: 2013-09-13 01:06:56 UTC
this report has been filed here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/379063 " When I get a meeting request in evolution 2.26.1, there's a new checkbox: "Inherit reminder". There is no documentation on this in the online (in-application) manual and the wording is ambiguous. I did a google search and found a feature request for this, but it still wasn't clear what the purpose was. This needs clear documentation for non-technical users." Thanks,
Cannot find "inherit" in the new user docs in 3.1 either. Need developer input to describe this, plus a screenshot is welcome too.
String was added by http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/plugins/itip-formatter/itip-view.c?id=2be7cd3b2ab50047820da4a1e873785b53f41acd Milan, can you explain what this setting does (without using the word "inherit")? Does it mean that if the received meeting request already includes some kind of reminder, that Evolution will try to also import / reuse it?
Yes, that's it. If a meeting invitation contains an alarm (which is also filtered for safe alarms, like "pop up an alert"), then the checkbox is shown and if it is checked then, if the event is imported to a calendar, also the alarm is kept in the added event.
Now covered in help/C/calendar-meetings-replying-to-invitation.page and to be included in 3.1.90: http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=6554585adedff314f2b1788e2a6974c063cbce0b
