- the ICS events showed up with no reminders (even though I think that I had reminder defaults set for that calendar ... though I'm not sure)
- I added reminders for all future events
- some of those future events were recurring events that began a long time ago in a calendar far, far away
VueMinder's behavior when I set a reminder for a recurring event that started in the past seems to be that it will allow me to set the reminder for all events or for individual events. Setting the reminder for individual events won't meet my needs, but setting the reminder for all events resulted in a spectacular display of VueMinder's ability to create email, desktop alert, pop-up, and SMS notifications. I am having to snooze my whole life history one week at a time, and I'm glad I've got a healthy SMS allowance, but I do have to admit that hitting the little "x" on all those desktop alerts was kind of fun - sort of like Whack-A-Mole(tm).
Still, it would be nice to be able to attach a calendar, and tell it to set events for future occurrences only. This is especially true since I plan to use VueMinder on 3 different computers, and I'm having to do the Snoozetime Dance on all of them.
In fact, in my dream world, I would like to be able to tell VueMinder to set reminders based on the calendar's defaults for future events only, and have it do that for me.
Is there some way to import / subscribe to a calendar, and set reminders for future events only? I'm not done attaching calendars on all those computers yet, so if this is possible it will save me a bit of inconvenience.
Thanks for any reply,
Chris
