Some calendar synchronization suggestions

Post by Rasna »

Hello,

I am not sure this has already been proposed, but I have made a list of improvements many users could benefit from.
Here is my list:

- temporarily disable synchronizations:
at the moment we can only delete them

- more granular options for 1 way or 2 ways synchronizations:
now the 1 way / 2 ways option applies to all selected modules, it would be nice to be able to choose what modules should be sync'ed 1way and what 2ways

- selectively choose what calendar should be imported/sync'ed
I have 3 devices where i want all calendars to be sync'ed: personal phone, work phone and computer. Now calendar entries always get duplicated (I have 3 events for each "real event" and need to run dedupe tool.

- assign a default category for sync'ed calendars.
For example all calendar entries I sync from my work phone are imported into the personal category while they should be work category.

Thanks for the suggestions. Which synchronization do you specifically mean?
Also, why would you need to temporarily disable any sync?
Android version of EssentialPIM. Keep all your data in sync!

Hi admin, basically I'd like to be able to select 1 way or two way for every module in every sychronization.

@Rasna
I wonder how sync doesnot produce events with the original categories. With me it does every time I sync. And even if new categories are there.
The same with duplicates ... I never ever have some.
Everything I mention comes out of my experience. I'm not an expert. Feel free to try anything I suggest ... but always at your own risk.
