Hi,
I’m a bit surprised nobody else is missing the option to manage invitees in the Gnome calendar application. I guess it’s not much used professionally maybe.
Anyway, I already started a topic on this.
I’m still using Betterbird, but it would be nice to have a solution that’s more integrated in the Gnome-system. So a calendar that’s connected to the menu-bar calendar.
Is there such an alternative? I mean besides Evolution (I don’t like the work-flow of Evolution, it feels clumsy to me).
I’m afraid there is no third GNOME’ish calendar application that I am aware of

Not “nobody else”: almost all of us are missing that, but we know that the email+calendaring+addressbooks trio is one of the toughest problems to solve in desktop productivity apps.
I’m using it in a professional setting, but I use Evolution for emails, so my invitations go through that anyway. Those who use other email clients do not have such a workaround.

The “alternative” is to implement it in GNOME Calendar and whatever may become the alternative email client for GNOME (if Geary is not it). Inventing a third EDS-compatible calendaring app instead of finishing the existing one would be foolish.
See this comment on your other thread for the explanation and links to the relevant tickets.
Thanks for your feedback @andre and @jfft.
I didn’t now this:
I’m trying Evolution again and I realise that the feeling it is clumsy, is just me getting used to new software. After a few days, it feels less so.
I removed the default Gnome calendar, and now clicking in the menubar calendar opens Evolution. Which is a bit more convenient.

It’s good that you are warming up to Evolution

Even if you have both applications installed, you can use the GNOME Settings application to specify which one is the default that gets called by other apps, including “clicking in the menubar”:
Ah, yes.
Anyway, I have no use for a second calendar if Evolution works.
I marked your answer as solution, because that was indeed what I didn’t realise.
