More Leopard calDAV fun. Moving appointments between calendars from different sources.
I'm scheduled to within an inch of my life, so there is no surprise that I have 14 calendars in iCal right now. I have calendars for billable hours vs. non-billable hours. I have calendars on my calDAV server that I share with clients, some under a different username than others, and some that I use to synchronize personal calendars across multiple machines, and yet another that I share with my assistant. (Hi Christina!) I have calendars coming out my ears from various sources.
Very often, I'll place an appointment in one calendar and later wish to move it to another. Perhaps I'll have a tentative appointment with a client, so I'll put that in my non-billable calendar. When that appointment happens, perhaps I'll put that into my billable calendar. Unfortunately, my billable calender is under a different username on my calDAV server than my billable calendar (one of them I share, the other I do not). Normally, when I want to move an appointment from one calendar to another I right/ctrl-click the appointment and select the calendar I want to move it to. Unfortunately, the only calendars listed in that contextual menu are those under the same user account as the appointment I'm trying to move. Bummer.
The workaround:
1. Select the appointment you would like to move.
2. Use your favorite method of getting it to the clipboard (I use command-X to cut)
3. Select the calendar from the source list to which you would like to move the appointment
4. Paste (command - v for me)
All appointment data when cut or copied is retained when pasted into the other calendar.
Wouldn't it be nice to have ALL of your calendars in the contextual menu? Radar: 5593635
