In a groupware, that's very important that all the tools are working
together. So, if in kronolith I add attendees to an event, it seems
reasonable that dimp should be able to let users validate their
participation.
Sure.  But someone has to write the code.
And there is probably a part of imp working under dimp I suppose, as
the look and feel is very similar.
Yes, but there are engineering/design limitations in DIMP 1.x that 
prevent certain items from working in DIMP even though they are 
working in IMP.
You say: no plan. OK, why not. But as half of the work is done, I
have no possibilities to view the ics attachment (no link to attach
file) and also no way to click on a link.

Just doing nothing, would be better.
I have never seen an ICS attachment ever, so I can not comment on what 
the behavior should be.

A colleague found a work around, so we can wait for the next release, 
if we want a better look and feel



In imp/config/prefs.php

$_prefs['alternative_display'] = array(

     'value' => 'below',

     'locked' => false,

     'shared' => false,

     'type' => 'enum',

     'enum' => array('above'   => _("Above the message text"),

                     'below' => _("Below the message text"),

                     'none'   => _("Not at all")),

     'desc' => _("Where do you want to display links to alternative 
formats of a message?"));





dans imp/config/mime_drivers.php

$mime_drivers['imp']['itip'] = array(

     'inline' => false,

     'handles' => array(

         'text/calendar', 'text/x-vcalendar'

     ),

     'icons' => array(

         'default' => 'itip.png'

     )

);

This doesn't appear on the Dimp Roadmap page, but it is similar to
crypt support (PGP/SMIME) in DIMP 1.x - namely, it's never going to
happen there.  Crypting works with newer versions of DIMP (IMP 5.0),
but I personally don't have any plans to fix the ICS stuff because I
never use it.  The other devs will most likely eventually fix it up.
Mickael,

PS: We believed that it was the time to use the groupware 
functionalities but without dimp managing kronolith events, we will 
wait. By the way, if you have no plan, could you indicate which part 
of the code we would have to patch to get it working?

Hello Chuck



I looked at the roadmap and found nothing about our exact problem. And 
it will be a big problem to migrate if we can't use dimp. How can use 
tell end users: To get kronolith working switch back to imp..



Have you a date for that functionality. I plan to migrate in March. 
Sould I wait a little bit more?



Thanks



Dom

Hello,



In IMP, I Can choose Action:

accept and add to my calendar



In DIMP, I have no Actions with select possibilities. As we tested 
before, I suppose it went with 1.1.1 as in 1.1, it was working



And it was discovered in two different french universities
