[Evolution-hackers] default calendar reminders

[Patrick Ohly <patrick ohly gmx de>]

Hello!

How is Evolution's "Show a reminder <some time> before every
appointment" feature meant to be implemented? Is that something that has
to be checked each time an appointment is created (in which case
SyncEvolution would have to be updated) or is this a feature that
applies to all existing appointments, including those without alarm set?

I find the second interpretation much more useful, and not just because
it would save me some trouble in SyncEvolution ;-) For example, it
allows users to turn this on and off without having to edit all existing
appointments. The user guide also makes is sound like it applies to all
events, not just those which will be created in the future:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-7308/6mmkt57s1?a=view

But looking at the code, I only find references to calendar-config.h's
calendar_config_get_use_default_reminder() in a few places, but not in
evolution/calendar/gui/alarm-notify where I would expect it to be used
if it was meant to apply to all appointments.
