Calendar: Use meeting's timezone in the comp editor Schedule tab
The schedule present wrong information when the timezone set for the meeting is different than the default timezone.
- In my preferences, I have set:
- Time zone: America/Santiago
- Second time zone: Europe/Madrid (shown in a Day view)
So, I attempted to set a meeting with people in Europe. After manually checking in the web calendar application (one single timezone, CEST), I noticed that 10:00 CEST worked for everyone, as follows:
Previously I attempted to use the schedule tab in Evolution but I got confused. Was it displaying my time zone (CLT as in the settings) or was it displaying the time zone defined to set the meeting (CEST)?
For once, it matched my working hours as in the settings. But the busy times from European folks (all but the last row in the screenshot) did not match.
When I go to check conflicts in the schedule, the timeline it is shown in my local time zone but the information from the attendees are not adjusted accordingly.
If I set the meeting time at 10:00am in this view, it is using my local time zone. But then, it uses the same 10:00am in the first view. But that view is CEST.
In summary, 10:00am CEST is 04:00am CLT. So, the second screenshot should show that, but it does not. So, I cannot edit the meeting there either.
So, the workaround is:
- Change my calendar setting to Europe/Madrid (CEST), schedule the meeting at 10:00 CEST, then switch the setting back to America/Santiago (CLT). But even in that case, the view is wrong again.
