This morning, I had some free hours to spend on my baby Calendar, and of course I’d spend on what matters the most: the Week view.

I’ve been working on and off in this feature for quite a while, and the last missing piece was proper drag n’ drop support. Fear no more!, and say hello to the new Week view in GNOME Calendar:

This work initially started as a Summer of Code driven by Vamsi, and I just went ahead and finished his work. I tried to be as careful as possible with the new Week view, in order to keep in on part with Month and Year views. That means:

Drag n’ drop

Visualizing and editing events

Properly handle multiday and all day events

Being beautiful

Handling too many events

And so it goes. You can create all day and multiday events very quickly:

Of course you can also create timed events with the new week view! Check this out:

And, as always, the traditional sequence of pictures with an awsome rock-ish soundtrack!

Excited? Join #gnome-calendar IRC room at irc.gnome.org, or send me an email to get in touch! Don’t be shy. Calendar is entirely made by amazing contributors dedicating their free time to make the world a slightly better place to live 🙂

Enjoy!
