[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Category Translation

[Craig Bradley]

Sort of an iCal problem. What you would need to do is have calendars  
for each of the categories you wanted. So that on the PPC you would be  
using only one set of categories and on the Mac that set of categories  
would be in Address Book and there would be a list of calendars with  
the same names in iCal. Of course then if you added a new calendar in  
iCal, it would create a new category on the PPC. That might be usable  
for some folks, not for others, but iCal doesn't support true  
categories.

Of course, the whole point is moot 'cause Missing Sync doesn't have an  
option to treat calendars that way. I wish they would at least make  
that an optional feature. As it is, all events created on the PPC will  
go in one calendar, whichever you choose.

Don't get me wrong, this is mostly iCal's fault, but it would be  
possible for Missing Sync to figure a way to support this. After all,  
the entire product is a fix to make something work differently than it  
was originally intended.

Just my 2cents.
