Apple Releases Updated iCal 1.5.1

An anonymous reader writes "iCal 1.5.1 is easier and faster use with its enhanced Info Drawer, To Do alarms and notes, and more keyboard short cuts. iCal 1.5.1 also includes improved time zone support and personalized calendar colors. You can visit the iCal homepage. Also, if you synchronize you'll need the latest iSync 1.2.1 for it to work with the new iCal." You can also update via Software Update, of course, and you need to update iCal before iSync.

Re:Other things they forgot

[Anonymous Coward]

So you agree you need far more than a WebDAV server but some sort of version server.

Then you are confronted to some other problems because if you're just using (for example) some sort of CVS server treating calendars as files, you will have much work to do because you can't just consider calendar diffs as equivalent to file diffs. And you have also to resolve conflicts which might occurs.
Or you can just imagine a dedicated calendar server... some sort of... Exchange server. And I know you: you will complain that Apple makes you pay either the server or the .Mac subscription (because they gives you the server). As some people complain for iSync.

So be realistic and give some time to Apple to do that. It really takes time to do that sort of thing. I can't imagine Apple is not aware of this need. It's not that they have forgotten that.

Window size tied to calendar view

[Clith]

The "feature" that bothers me the most is how the size of the window is tied to the view of the calendar you are using. If you resize the window in "week" view, for instance, as soon as you click "month" view the window snaps to the size it was last time you used "month" view.

I think the main reason this bothers me is that the view controls are at the bottom of the window, so to go back to the previous view, I now have to go hunting for where the controls moved to.

If they put the view-switching buttons at the top of the window I think this problem would be much lessened.
