Package: ical
Version: 2.2-6
Severity: wishlist
When given either -show or -list on the command line, ical will display
upcoming events to the terminal an exit. When using these options, todo
items are displayed identically to normal items.
IE:
squirrel:/den/chirik> ical -list
Saturday March 17, 2001
* Oil change
* Buy groceries
* St. Patty's Day
It'd be nice to have some way to differentiate between todo items and
normal items, and further to be able to show completed todo items
differently from not-yet completed items. Since I use 'ical -list' in my
.login file, I decided to make a slight change to accomplish this.
IE (Modified ical):
squirrel:/den/chirik> ical -list
Saturday March 17, 2001
* [ ] Oil change
* [*] Buy groceries
* St. Patty's Day
This way, I can see that I still need to get my oil changed, but I already
bought those groceries I needed. St. Patty's Day doesn't require any
attention, it's just a notice on this date.
The following patch, against /usr/lib/ical/v2.2/listing.tcl, implements
this change. I've been using this modified listing.tcl since August, 1999
and haven't seen any problems or unexpected effects due to it. If possible,
please also pass this patch onto the maintainer of the ical source. I would
have done this already, but the URL I have for the ical homepage is not
valid. Thank you.
