243921 - Wanted: option to disable alerts for specific calendars

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 257428

(Calendar :: General, enhancement)

There should be an option to disable all alarms on a per-calendar basis. For
example, I want to be able to subscribe to my co-workers calendars so I can see
when we all can get together for meetings and suchlike, but I don't necessarily
want to be alerted to all their scheduled events. And I really don't want email
alerts from everybody who have subscribed to my calendar! I do, however want to
be alerted to my own events since I've got such a lousy memory. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to some remote calendars that you are half-interested in.
2. Wait. :-)

Actual Results:  
I get a lot of alerts (I suspect that people get many emails as well. I haven't
really tried this, though).

Expected Results:  
There should have been an option to disable alarms for specific calendars, so
that I can see my buddies calendars while not being alerted to their meetings.

This would be an excellent feature.

As I would subscribe to other employees calendars to see when they're busy, and
I don't want their Alerts!

Is this a dup of bug 257428 (or vis-versa)?

Marking duplicate of bug 257428.  (It has some work.  Also, its summary has the
word 'alarm'.)
