/* E_BOOK_ERROR_PERMISSION_DENIED */  N_("Permission denied"),

when i reopen an appointment and change the calendar source to some read-only calendar (B&A), i get that error message.
it's a stupid error message that does not help anybody - what did i do wrong? why? at least tell me that it is a read-only calendar.
related to bug 329594.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2007-05-15 14:50:14 UTC 
the patch in bug 329594, linking to the quoted error ID could be nice here:

 <error id="prompt-read-only-cal" type="error" default="GTK_RESPONSE_YES">
  <_primary>Cannot create a new event</_primary>
  <_secondary>You have a read-only calendar source selected. Change to Calendar View and highlight a calendar that can accept appointments.</_secondary>
  <button stock ="gtk-ok" response="GTK_RESPONSE_YES"/>
 </error>
Comment 2 Milan Crha 2007-06-26 15:19:34 UTC 
The message itself isn't so smart here either, because of that little advice: "Change to Calendar View and highlight a calendar that can accept appointments.", you know, you are in an appointment editing dialog.

Patch Attachment #90668 [details] to Bug #329594 solves this issue as well, maybe only if Andre wants to change that message as I mentioned in previous comment... :)

proposed evo patch

for evolution;

Added one message to calendar to distinguish between read-only state recognized from editor and from UI itself. In address book change a bit "Permission Denied" text for a bit more verbose. i checked and that is not possible to call delete on the read-only contact, thus should be fine. If you've better idea what to write there, then I'm for it.
