# Kapitel 4 Hauptprogrammfenster - (Noch nicht übersetzt)

When KOrganizer starts, you are first presented with the main KOrganizer window. The window has several components, including a menubar, a toolbar, a month calendar, a current ``view'' of events, and a tasklist. The calendar defaults to displaying today's date.

# 4.1 Menus - (Noch nicht übersetzt)

The menus provide access to all the common operations that can be performed on the calendar, including saving, loading, adding and deleting appointments, printing, etc. etc.

## 4.1.1 File Menu

The `File` menu provides access to functions involving the entire calendar.

New Window

  Allows you to open up another main window. You might want to do this if you wish to have two simultaneous but different views of a calendar open at once.

Open

  Opens a file dialog allowing you to select a new vCalendar to load. If you have made changes to the current calendar, you will be given the option of saving them before loading a new one.

Open Recent

  Provides a list of recently opened calendars for quick access, allowing you to bypass the file dialog entirely.

Close

  Closes the current window. If this is the last window, this choice has the same effect as Quit.

Save

  Saves the calendar to disk, making sure all changes you might have made will be kept. If the calendar has no name, save will behave like `Save As`.

Save As

  Gives you a file dialog so that you may choose a different name for your calendar than the one currently assigned to it. Useful if you have made changes to a calendar that you want to save, but also want to keep separate from your ``regular'' calendar.

Import From Ical

  If you have used ical, a popular but older calendar program for unix using the Tk widget set, you may wish to import your appointments, events, and todo items directly to KOrganizer. This action will read the `.calendar` file from your home directory and merge any entries it contains into your current calendar. If any errors or suspicious things occur during the process, you will be notified via a message box.

Merge Calendar

  If you have a different vCalendar file somewhere, and you would like to include its contents into your own calendar, this will do just that. A good time to do this would be if you received a vCalendar with a few entries via e-mail, for instance.

Print Setup

  Brings up the print setup dialog and allows you to set up how you want printed output to appear. See the section on printing for more information.

Print

  Prints the current calendar.

Print Preview

  Prints the current calendar and displays it with your print preview program, instead of sending the output directly to the printer. You can choose the program that you use to preview output in the Options dialog.

Quit

  Quits KOrganizer, prompting to save if the current calendar has been modified but not yet saved.

## 4.1.2 Edit Menu

The `Edit` menu provides editing operations on appointments.

Cut

  Cuts the currently selected appointment(s) to the clipboard, removing them from your calendar.

Copy

  Copies the currently selected appointment(s) to the clipboard, leaving them untouched in your calendar.

Paste

  Inserts the contents of the clipboard into your calendar. The clipboard must contain a valid vCalendar, provided either by a previous Cut/Copy operation or from a selection made outside of KOrganizer. You will be warned if the contents of the clipboard cannot be understood.

## 4.1.3 View Menu

Options for changing the current view of your appointments

List

  Switches to List View.

Day

  Switches to Day View.

Work Week

  Switches to Abschnitt 4.3.3 name="Week View">, but with only the 5 days of a business week selected instead of the normal 7.

Week

  Switches to Week View.

Month

  Switches to Month View.

Todo List

  Switches to full screenTodo View.

Update

  Updates or refreshes the currently displayed view.

## 4.1.4 Actions Menu

Different actions you can take to modify your calendar.

New Appointment

  Brings up the appointment window, allowing you to create a new appointment. By default, the appointment will begin on the currently selected date.

New Event

  Brings up the appointment window, allowing you to create a new appointment. The default for this mode is that the appointment has no time associated with it; it is merely a reminder of something you mean to do on that particular date or range of dates.

Edit Appointment

  Brings up the appointment window with the currently selected appointment filled in to the fields and ready for editing.

Delete Appointment

  Confirms that you would like to delete the currently selected appointment, and upon positive confirmation, removes it from your calendar.

Search

  Pops up the Search Window, allowing you to search for appointment(s) by date, a common phrase, etc.

Mail Appointment

  This is currently unimplemented.

## 4.1.5 Options Menu

Allows access to configuration options common to the entire program.

Show Tool Bar

  Toggles whether or not the tool bar is visible.

Show Status Bar

  Toggles whether or not the status bar (at the bottom of the screen) is visible.

Edit Options

  Brings up the Options Dialog, allowing you to change common options like date/time formats, fonts, etc.

## 4.1.6 Help Menu

Various methods of getting help on KOrganizer.

Contents

  The contents of the KOrganizer online help manual.

Help On

  Gives you context sensitive help information on the object that you click on after choosing this. However, none of the help for the different objects has been written as of the time this manual was last updated, so this will not be too useful. Volunteers?

About

  Shameless plug about the authors of KOrganizer.
