Troubleshooting

The time of my recurring appointment changes next week - how do I handle that?

While many things about an appointment can be changed, the time is the one thing that can't change for the remainder of a series of appointments (single exceptions are possible). KOrganizer uses the time field as a basic reference, so it would be difficult if not impossible to allow this change to happen.

Instead, then, create an entry for the start of the changed appointment, duplicating the information from the first entry apart from the new time.

KOrganizer is available in all major Linux distribution repositories, as tarballs, and soon a Flatpak version will also be available. Ancient versions were compatible with Windows, the Kontact team is looking for help to improve Windows support. For more information look at the Kontact download page.
