Bug ID: 370481
Summary: unintuitive accidental duplication of calendar leads
to irreversibly deleting of calendar on server
Product: korganizer
Version: 4.14.2
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: korganizer-de...@kde.org
Reporter: te...@tempmail.fermion.ca
I have a collection of calendars on a Davical server. They all appear as
separate calendars in a collection in the tree view.
KOrganizer often de-selects my calendars for some reason, so I have to click on
them to re-select them to see the events.
One time I clicked and accidentally dragged slightly, and the calendar I tried
to click on was copied into another calendar and appeared as a sub-calendar.
The calendar now appeared twice in the calendar view.
I right-clicked on the duplicate calendar, and the only option available to
remove it was "Delete Calendar Folder". It asked me if I wanted to delete it,
and I clicked yes.
The original calendar still remained in the tree view, but the actual calendar,
containing thousands of events, had been DELETED FROM THE SERVER (which is
running Davical).
After re-fetching the list of calendars in the underlying calendar collection,
the calendar had indeed been deleted, and no longer appeared in the tree view.
The problem is the unintuitive behaviour. If you accidentally duplicate your
calendar, how do you get rid of the duplicate?
The first problem is that you can make a calendar a sub-calendar, which in
reality isn't reflected in the calendar structure on the server.
Secondly, the only option to remove a duplicated calendar is "Delete Calendar
Folder"
Thirdly that, despite asking you if you want to do this, it's not clear that
this deletion will be propagated to the server.
The way to get the calendar tree back to normal is not to do any manipulation
of the tree using the GUI, but to re-fetch the list of calendars in the
collection using the calendar server settings in the configuration menu.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. click and drag on a calendar in your collection to another calendar in the
collection
2. select copy
Actual Results:
You're left with a duplicate calendar that when you remove it in what seems
like an intuitive way, you irreversibly delete the calendar from the server.
Expected Results:
You're left with a duplicate calendar that when you try to remove it, simply
disappears and leaves the other calendar in place.
Even if it was the only calendar in the list, I would only expect the calendar
to be deleted from the tree view, not from the server (at least not without a
very serious warning message).
