Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 274967

(Calendar :: General, defect)

if sharing a calendar, and not using the auto publish option and not using
publish selected events, it would be good with a synchronize option.
why?
if one adds a number of events and wants to publish them it is tempting to use
the publish entire calendar. however if some other person added notes that you
have not yet downloaded, they will vanish if you publish the entire calendar.
on the other hand, if you add events to your calendar, and then select refresh
remote calendars your new local entries will be lost.

therefor a synchronize option would be needed.

perhaps it shoud run in this order:
1. download, all from calender, do not remove your local.
2. upload your local to caledar.

Reproducible: Always

Isn't this how publish works now?

Comment 2

[Michiel van Leeuwen (email: mvl+moz@)]

no, it isn't. Publish just publishes your local data without looking at the
remote data.

Comment 3

[Matthew (lilmatt) Willis]

Ok, so this is how auto-publish on a subscribed calendar currently works.

Comment 4

[Michael Nacey]

This would be nice

Is this a duplicate of Bug 274967? 

I guess it's this one that should be marked as a duplicate since Bug 274967 has patches and stuff in it =)
