New Outlook for Windows and Windows system calendar

GlobalOfficePhone

Has anyone found any updates on this issue? I just started using Diarium and I have yet to see any calendar feed.

Wondering if I also get a Pro version on Android which gets the Google calendar feed and if sync, will it transfer those Google entries to the Windows desktop version?

GlobalOfficePhone No the Diarium sync does not sync calendar events.
Btw, on my own Windows installation, my primary Microsoft account (that I log in with) is still synced to the "system calendar" and I still do see those appointments in my journal - even though that calendar app migrated to the "new Outlook"

Well, it finally happened. When I opened Windows Mail on my computer, I got a notice from Microsoft saying the next time I opened Mail I'd be redirected to New Outlook. The note also said I could switch back, for an unspecified amount of time, to Mail if choose. I haven't gotten any Google calendar events for the last few days. I've tried a few different things and ... not sure which one it was, but Google calendar events are back to showing up again in today's journal. Aside from the fact my journals for the last few days still don't show any calendar events ,thoroughly enjoy using Dairium for journaling. Of all the "Feeds and Events", Google calendar is the most useful for me.. I knew it was coming, however seeing it first hand is saddening.

I decided that I will (have to) remove the system calendar integration on Windows. While it still showed the calendars in the calendar dropdown in the settings, no appointments were available to be displayed in the calendar entries. Kind of sad that Microsoft killed this Windows feature...

In my Laptop I have Win 11 with latest updates and Diarium 3.1.0.0 and there I see the Windows calendar in Diarium.

In your other app "Working Hours" it is possible to choose the outlook calendar. Why it isn't possible to add this feature to diarium?

timo

Because I have not (yet) implemented it. Also see what I wrote above:

timo I am rather hesitant to add any integration for a particular calendar service (like Outlook or Google calendar) because that would open the door for users to ask for more services (Apple calendar, CalDAV, ...) - and that is something I cannot accomplish as this would just take too much time.

Thank you for your quick feedback! Sorry, I understood, that this function will not be implemented. The integration of the Outlook calendar would at least provide the ability to replace the system calendar. Sure, many people use the Google Calendar and others the calendar from Apple. But now we do not have a calendar under Windows.

timo

I understand wanting to have some calendar integration on Windows - I am not saying that I'll never add it. Also depends on what other users say here in the forums.

I wish you would add it! Thank you.

Any new feature added is always welcome even as I understand, it is taxing for developer.

This is particularly disheartening as it was perviosuly possible. Much worse to lose soething you once had than not to get something you wanted.

timo

Henacynflin Yes, I agree. I also find it very disappointing that Microsoft stopped supporting the "system calendar". I hope they will re-integrate it into their system calendar app in the future

timo

LjL The feature will be removed with v3.1.11 - from my understanding, it is no longer possible to add to the Windows system calendar using the Microsoft calendar app (this one). It only syncs to the Outlook (web) calendar, and I may add integration for it in the future (related feature request here)
