Description Seth Nickell 2001-10-08 20:53:48 UTC 
The usability project's new menu arrangement for GNOME suggests that
multiple-use applications such as Evolution appear in the menu system in
multiple places. So for example, Evolution would show up as....

Applications->Internet->Email (Evolution)
Applications->Office->Calendar (Evolution)

etc.

But to do this, we need to be able to launch evolution with the calendar
displayed by default, the inbox displayed by default etc, using
command-line arguments, e.g. "evolution --email" or "evolution --calendar"
or something like that.

Fairly certain this is a dup; but if not, it's a 1.1 desktop
integration goal.
Comment 2 Luis Villa 2001-11-26 17:04:42 UTC 
Because of the decision to remap 1.1->1.2 and 1.2->1.4, I'm going to be
moving a large number of bugs around in the bugzilla. You can just
search on 'body contains' 'Because of the decision to remap' and mark
all as read. Please direct all questions about this change to
evolution@ximian.com, not the bug.

Comment 5 Ettore Perazzoli 2002-05-03 17:55:17 UTC 
This is done, from a command-line perspective at least.

You can do e.g. `evolution default:calendar' and get Evolution to
display the default calendar.

(Seth: this is going to be in 1.2, not in a 1.0.x version.)
