Re: [Evolution] recurrent tasks & attachment problems

Hi again, 

Thank you for response. As to your reply given below, forgive me for not
being clear enough at the first place. 

I have found out that in calendar section, it is possible to add
recurring events, but not tasks. As to events, I cannot mark them as
completed, but as an enterprise owner (translation office, in case
needed), I need my employees to mark them as completed (for example
settling of accounts every day). This is why I insist on adding
recurrent tasks. This, although may not seem, is a very important
point, because it makes lots of people avoid evolution. 

As to long file names, maybe it is bad for software, but is a part of
our file naming system, which includes customer name, translator number,
language, date etc. I have also used nautilus, which, although not as
good as evolution, does not make me suffer from such a problem. 

Solution of such problems are not not only for me, I believe I can get
lots of people convert to Linux from windows if I introduce them to
Linux with such staff, before they even know that task & event
management is possible in windows. 

Thank you again, 

Mutercim

In Calendar, you can create items which are recurring.

It is good practice - even for a "normal" user - not to make file names
too long. Don't rely on Software, be it Open Source or commercial, to
compensate for bad practice.
