Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: User may want to accept assigned appointments/tasks by drag&drop them from mail attachment to calendar, or assign appointments to others by drag&drop them from calendar to mail attachment, but evolution fail to do so. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Drag calendar items from mail attachment; 2. Drop them onto calendar. OR 1. Drag calendar items from calendar; 2. Drop them onto mail composer. Actual Results: Nothing happen OR mail composer accept the calendar items as iCal formated text Expected Results: calendar accept the dropped appointments OR mail composer accept appointments as mail attachments rather than mail body. How often does this happen? Everytime. Additional Information: Although this have a workaround method in evolution by accepting the iTIP message, but offer an alternative may meet lots of users' custom, and make them feel ease to shift from other software to evolution. I can own this bug.
Still exists in 1.2 Would like to see --mail dragged to calendar open new appointment --mail dragged to tasks open new task
richard: drag&drop them to the attachment bar and not to the body of the composer window. dave: since 2.0 this does not make sense because of the split up of the components (every component got its own folder tree). perhaps it would make sense to drag and drop an email on the *component buttons*; that is still missing in 2.1.3.2. there's a new eplugin though in evolution2.1 which lets you convert an email to a task or a meeting.
Bumping version to a stable release.
The way to do this is to use the plugin ("Create a Task" etc in the right-click menu for a message). Dragging onto the component buttons in the left lower corner seems rather counter-intuitive.
Proposing WONTFIX.
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.
