GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 738884
Allow external applications (or command-line) to Quick Add events
Last modified: 2019-10-10 14:01:53 UTC
As suggested on the mailing list (https://mail.gnome.org/archives/california-list/2014-October/msg00002.html), California could allow for external applications to submit Quick Add text and generate an event from it. This could be achieved either by passing it as a command-line argument or via D-Bus. The generated event's UID can be returned to allow the caller to look up the event from EDS. (Additional information might need to be returned as well. It makes sense for California to notify the user of the new event. One consideration to make here is what happens if the Quick Add text does not sufficiently describe an event. Currently California will display the event editor when that happens so the user can complete the necessary fields to generate the event. Since this feature suggests allowing users to script Quick Add additions, that might not work in every use case.

California is not under active development anymore and saw its last non-cosmetic code changes in March 2016: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/california/commits/master Its codebase has been archived in https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/california/issues/1 Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of GNOME Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. You may want to use `gnome-calendar`.
