korganizer(3.5) alarm/reminder script argument problem
 
Hi all,

I'm using KDE 3.5.2, and korganizer 3.5, and have a simple problem.
In the advanced alarm configuration section for events and todos, there is a textbox where you can pass arguments to the script that the alarm will run. However, nothing entered in this textbox actually makes it to the script as an argument. I ran a sample bash script which indicates an argument list length of zero, no matter how many arguments were placed in this textbox, quoted or not.

Hope someone can help!
=)
Matt

Not implemented yet, patch included
 
This is not unlike the grayed out Email Reminder Type, the Program file: value is used however the Program arguments: value is ignored. The following patch adds support for this field and any number of arguments. It also allows you to use substitution characters as arguments as well:

%c - Categories
%d - Description
%D - Start date
%e - End date
%l - Location
%o - Organizer
%s - Summary

This patch is not mine, I just adapted it for korganizer 3.5.5, should work for all 3.5.x's though.
