GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 600527
Only one category allowed for contacts and appointments
Last modified: 2009-11-09 17:28:01 UTC
You used to be able to select several categories for a contact and appointment, but it seems now only one category is allowed. If you select several, only one will be stored on the contact/appointment. If only one category is to be allowed, the dialog should be changed, since it gives the impression that several categories can be selected, as it's always been. So I guess it is a bug to not allow more than 1 category
It seems to work fine for me in 2.28.1 as well as 2.29.2 (unstable). Is it in local calendar or any provider ? Do you see any warning on terminal when you add any category ?
2.28.1 here also, and seems to happen for all calendars/addressbooks. Will get the terminal output later
Rodrigo, it will really good if you can mention your steps with expected result. It will give us clear picture of what is happening wrong, tia
Ok, the steps: * double click on a contact to open the editor * click on the categories button * select more than 1 category (Anniversary, Birthday, Business) * Press OK on Categories selection dialog * Click on the Catrgories button again * Now, only 1 category is selected, although the categories entry on the contact editor shows the 3 If I save the contact, the 3 categories are saved correctly, so it seems it's just a problem with the dialog the 2nd time I open it without having saved the contact. If I save the contact and reopen the editor, the 3 categories show up indeed
Thanks for the update. The other magic is to delete spaces after commas, (the list of your categories should be rather "Anniversary,Birthday,Business") then all of them are checked in the dialog too. I'll try to fix it.
Created attachment 147291 [details] [review] eds patch for evolution-data-server; based on http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2445#section-4.8.1.2 the spaces between commas are not supposed to be there, thus changing it back to the previous behaviour. I also faced some issues with respect of autocompletion, thus tried to make it work better as well.
Created commit 029000f in eds master (2.29.2+)
