Calendar Talk:Lightning: Difference between revisions

== Calendar as a separate window ==

I like to have the Calendar in a separate window from the Thunderbird mailer. I noticed this was not the case with the nightly builds I downloaded 2/27/06. My already crowded window had the calendar filling the lower left-hand corner and I didn't see an option to pull it up as its own window. Is there a way? Or is there planned to be one?  

I expected Lightning to integrate with Thunderbird in the sense that the Lightning window would import/modify calendar-entries based on .ics attachments on the messages. Does Sunbird have (or plan to have) a capability for Thunderbird to pass .ics attachments directly, instead of me having to save and import the attachment each time?  

Another possibility not mentioned here would be for Lightning to be linked to Sunbird. I don't understand the point of taking up space in an email client for calendaring if you've already got a calendar program.

I too would like to see Lightning able to open in a separate top level window. I have been using Thunderbird with the Lightning Calendar Extension for half a year now, and it is works really well, however I find often that I would like to look at the calendar but have to first click through the email part of Thunderbird. This takes time which makes me more hesitant to view the calendar than if I was able to click straight to it. It would be great if it could be separate like Sunbird but with the same capability to sync with Thunderbird and emails.
