Comment on iCalFix 0.6 by Red Byer

Rob, like @nosatisfaction, I too am hunting for a fix for iCal in 10.5. I was hoping to hack some sort of Python script out in Leopard that just trolled through the ics files to find the ALL DAY && Midnight alarms. Unfortunately, /Library/Application Support/iCal has rearranged it’s life a little and the Birthday calendar is just some sort of script or compressed file (and not in ICS format) anyway. Looks like one has to approach the task from the Objective-C side (i’m sure you are aware of this) and build a plugin (far beyond my capabilities) that is always active. Darn– my friggin iPhone wakes me up “randomly” at midnight now and then to tell me that it will be somebody’s birthday in 5 days.

I would like to be able to use this with my Point of Sale program, LightSpeed, also. It creates events as Mail does but has the same problem of no alarm even though iCal has the Add alarm box checked…. More than happy to pay for this…. seeya dxtr

Hey Robert! Glad to hear that Redfin is part of your real estate search. We’re working on web pages that characterize each neighborhood, and wondered what someone like you would most want to see, especially if it isn’t available somewhere else. If you have any thoughts, please let us know (glenn at redfin dot com and john dot kim at redfin dot com). Regards, Glenn CEO, Redfin

Hi Robert. Just wondering whether it is or ever will be possible to create an alarm that would automatically come on when you switch on your mac the day before an event so that you don’t have to input any specific time. This would be so handy as Im sure many mac users want to be reminded of up and coming events without being tied to having the computer on at one specific time? Thank you very much.

@Michael, @Dick: iCalFix is not supported under Leopard

I've tentatively started working on a new approach

@Dave:

No, 0.6.1 is not working with Leopard, due to various reasons. See http://www.robertblum.com/articles/2007/10/16/ive-been-appled for more details

I’ve tentatively started working on a new approach, but don’t expect anything too soon.
