[SOLVED] Editing one instance of a recurring event in Orage

Hi,

I can't work out how to edit a single instance of an event from a recurring event. For example, I normally meet with colleagues at 10 AM on Tuesdays and have an event in Orage to remind me. On one particular week we'll meet at 1 PM instead, how can I move just that instance and leave all the others intact?

When I've tried this, the entire series gets edited and moved to the new time.

I'm using XFCE 4.12.4 and Orage 4.12.1

Thanks for any ideas

Alan

Hello.

I think you can do it using the "Exceptions" settings, in the "Recurrence" tab, but I'm not an Orage user myself...

From the docs here: http://www.kolumbus.fi/~w408237/orage/o … rrence-tab

Exceptions:

    Here is list of exception times. - sign at the end of the row means exclusion where the appointment does not happen even though it was included in the repeat set. + sign means it is extra time to do the appointment.

    You can remove the exception by double clicking it in the listing window. You can add new exception by first selecting the type (either excluded or included times) and then double clicking a day in one of the calendars below.

    (Note that even though excluded time should be date, it can be shown as time in some systems. This is a way to workaround a bug where some calendar backend systems are not able to handle full date exclusions properly.)
