iCal, please don’t make new events in the past
[mac geek alert]
For the most part the integration between Apple Mail and iCal works for me. To Do items are seen and created in both places. And the quick “create new iCal event…” for dates and times is a feature I use frequently. BUT it can bite hard if you’re not careful.
When trying to decide on a time to meet, having already decided on the day and place, it’s easy to reach the final email with the agreed upon time (say 10:30 AM) and go to add it to iCal with a control-click only to add it to today and not tomorrow.
Now I don’t expect Apple to be smart enough to follow the threaded conversation in order to find out other event details, but I do expect them not to add a 10:30 AM event when it’s currently 5:15 PM. That’s just stupid.
And I would’ve missed my meeting tomorrow had I not gone back to change it to 11 AM.
Phew. I feel better for telling all 2 of my followers, and 3 of my non-tumblr friends this crucial bit of info.
Peace.
