Working with different calendars in Outlook - possibility to change account

Open ChristianSteidle opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, nice and useful plugin. We use several different calendars for our work. The Plugin generates a new appointment in the standard calendar with the jitsi link included. But I don't have the possibility to change the account. I also wondering, why the type of the calendar entry in outlook is an appointment instead of a meeting. With the meeting type I would be able to change the account and also to invite participants.

I suggest that the click on the new Jitsi-meeting button generates a meeting from the actual selected calendar.

Part of this issue is addressed by the v0.6.4 release. Now, new appointments are opened in meeting mode (meetings are a type of appointments). This should allow you to change the account from which the invitation is sent.

It remains to set the default sender based on the calendar that is active. Maybe this is a property that can be accessed through the Outlook.CalendarView, which featured in Extazx2 PR #41.

Thanks for the change. The new appointment is opened in meeting mode and I'm also allowed to change the account from Which the invitation is sent, but the appointment entry is generated in the standard schedule. My actual workaround is to cut and paste the meeting to the correct calendar. But I'm wondering, because the "standard" meeting in outlook creates a meeting in the calendar, where it was created from.
