Is it possible to get a preference setting for the default state of the 'Send Attendees Invitations via Email' checkbox in the New Event dialog box?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.

3.



[e-mail] wrote a manual fix for the default state:
1. navigate to "content/calendar/sun-calendar-event-dialog.js"
2. In the LoadDialog function, change the "sendInvitesCheckbox.checked" to "true" (change the one that's after the "else," that currently is "false," not the one with "X-MOZ-SEND-INVITATIONS")

I posted this to support.mozilla.calendar as well:

I actually did set this as a preference, instead of hard coding, but I
thought it would make things easier for people who just wanted one or
the other...

To set the preference, I added the following two lines to lightning.js
(in defaults/preferences/):

// Enable "Send Invitations to Attendees" by default?
pref("calendar.attendees.sendemail",true);

Then, in the LoadDialog function, I just put:

else {
        sendInvitesCheckbox.checked =
getPrefSafe("calendar.attendees.sendemail",true);
    }

Perhaps someone can make a patch for it or include it in the next
version if there's enough of a need?

change with bug 409921:

Heading towards a generalized "Notify attendees" (bug 451018), I've changed the pref's name to "calendar.itip.notify".
