KOrganizer

KOrganizer

KOrganizer ist die Kalender- und Terminplanungs-Komponente von Kontact, das integrierte Verwaltungsprogramm für persönliche Daten von KDE.

Wesentliche Merkmale

• Unterstützung von mehreren Kalendern und Aufgabenlisten. KOrganizer kann übersichtlich Kalenderdaten aus verschiedenen Dateien oder anderen Kalender-Quellen (z. B. Kalendern im Internet) zusammenführen. Diese können über die grafische Benutzeroberfläche bequem aktiviert, deaktiviert, hinzugefügt und entfernt werden.

• Integration in Kontact. KOrganizer ist vollständig in Kontact, der umfassenden Anwendung zur Verwaltung persönlicher Daten, integriert. Innerhalb von Kontact sind einige zusätzliche Funktionen verfügbar wie das Umwandeln von E-Mails in Termine oder Aufgaben durch einfaches "Ziehen & Ablegen".

• Speichermodell. KOrganizer hat einen beständigen Kalender. Der Nutzer muss sich nicht darum kümmern den Kalender zu laden oder zu speichern. Änderungen werden automatisch gespeichert. Wenn der Kalender an anderer Stelle geändert wurde, werden diese Änderungen automatisch geladen und die Ansicht wird aktualisiert. Eine Sperrvorrichtung regelt den zeitgleichen Zugriff auf den Kalender.

• Undo and Redo. KOrganizer supports unlimited undo and redo.

• Todo integration with agenda view. Todos are shown in the week and day views. Todos can be converted to events by dragging from the todo list and dropping on the agenda view.

• Attachments for events and todos. References to web pages, local files or mails can be attached to events and todos. The attached data can easily be accessed by a single click from the event and todo views as well as the summary view or the editors.

• Quick todo entry. A special input field allows to quickly create a todo without needing to open an editor. This is especially handy for creating multiple todos in a row.

• Quick event entry. There are several ways to create events from the agenda view: Per type-ahead events can be created by selecting a time range and then simply starting to type. An editor will be opened and the type text will be go into the title. Optionally the event editor can be opened when the time selection is finished and in addition to the usual menu and toolbar entries there are key bindings and a context menu to start the editor dialog.

• Plugin for Jewish calendar dates. When enabled this plugin shows the Jewish calendar dates for each day in the calendar view.

• Print support. Calendars can be printed using various different styles. Printing also supports colors and overlapping events.

• KMail directly supports transfer of invitations and other calendar attachments to KOrganizer.

KOrganizer provides management of events and tasks, alarm notification, web export, network transparent handling of data, group scheduling, import and export of calendar files and more. It is able to work together with a wide variety of groupware servers, for example Kolab, Open-Xchange, Citadel or OpenGroupware.org.

KOrganizer is fully customizable to your needs and is an integral part of the KDE-PIM suite, which aims to be a complete solution for organizing your personal data. KOrganizer supports the two dominant standards for storing and exchanging calendar data, vCalendar and iCalendar.

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.
