Reschedulingevents inGNOME Calendar will be simplified inthe nextmajor release of the app, maintainer Georges Stavracassays.
Drag and drop support has been addedto the productivity app. It worksacrossboth month and year views to make it easier to reschedule appointments that have been added previously.
Current stable builds of GNOME Calendar requirea user to manually edit an event should they wish to change thedate.
This is done by double-clicking on theevent strip entry in the monthview and adjusting the day, month and time fromthe calendar picker widget pop-over.
InGNOME Calendar3.22, which is scheduled for release later this year, this process is simplified: users can click on an existing event to ‘pick it up’, drag it over a new date, anddrop it to apply it to apply.
The following video shows the new drag and drop behaviour in action:
Other changes planned for GNOME Calendar 3.22 include a new ‘week’ view, agenda view, a new event editor dialog and support for handling calendar files (e.g., iCal, .ics).
Support for adding event attachments, scheduling events across multiple timezones and natural language parsing are also pencilled inon the roadmap for an as-yet unknown futureversion.
