Setting Appointment Category Color Causes Appointment To Vanish

Post by GRNTGR »

I think the title says it all. I used Essential PIM Pro 11.0.4 on Windows 10, and I sync with an Android daily. As I try to use color to help me find events related to specific activities. Lately, if I change to a new color and save, it's the last I see of the appointment and the associated notes. It's been going on for awhile.

That was it!

I had never see the appointment category filter before.

The filter dialog is seen by R clicking in a calendar field, it's the very bottom selection.

Apparently the Calendar only shows appointments if the Filter is checked. I had "None" checked by default, so new, plain white, appointments are visible when created.

When I edited a new appointment to create a new category (and add a color), it disappeared because new appointment categories are not visible (unchecked in the filter) by default.

Thanks,
