Not discoverable how to import a calendar

[jancborchardt]

Importing a calendar apparently works by drag & drop. This is not very discoverable.

I would have expected there to be an import option as part of the »Add calendar« flow.

If you are reading the readme(https://github.com/libasys/calendarplus/blob/master/README.md), here is described how to import calendars! (rtfm)

How often do you read the manual for apps you use? I don't do that at all. The app needs to be as much self explanatory as possible. ;) Otherwise just more people complain about a missing feature ;)

Ok so i can delete the readme? I need some better hints on how to show up in the calendar app that you can import your calendars per drag and drop! On a desktop pc there is no more additional information that you can drag and drop files between folders! ;)

Wow … that’s not helpful. ;) Normal people do not read the readme, don’t want to spend time doing that when it can be done properly in the app. :)

As said above, basically have a button for »Import calendar«, for example in the settings. Much like the Contacts app and News app do.

@libasys this is also slightly different – desktop file managers allow drag&drop for moving too, so people are used to it in some sense. Starting out with a Calendar app by dropping your calendar file onto it is less discoerable though, so it would be cool to have a discoverable function for that.

OK here a suggestion where to have a field to import a calendar:

1. Either you add a little symbol to import a calendar next to the existing "plus button" for new calendar:

2.Or you add a field to import a calendar after the user has clicked the "plus" button for a new calendar.

Both options seem logical, not sure which one is preferrable.

@libasys how about just putting a plus button next to the Subscriptions header as well? :) Then we have one smooth flow for Calendars, and one for Subscriptions. (Btw, the headers need to be plural, no?)
