Duplicate iCal and Entourage notifications?!?

[Drew J. Asson]

Hi,

I have to say that I really like the Entourage update. Spotlight
searching is great and having my Entourage calendar in iCal is fabulous.
I have to use Entourage for work but prefer iCal/Mail for my personal
stuff.

The question I have is that meeting alerts or alerts for dated/timed
todos show up twice. I get this Office notification and then an iCal
one. I have to bring iCal to the front to stop it bouncing in my dock,
which slows me down.

I like the office notifications better than iCal's due to the more
varied options for snoozing (I procrastinate a lot and at varying
degrees).

Is there a way to have iCal NOT do a pop up for items that are in the
Entourage calendar? Any scripting I can do or plist tweaking?

Any replies/responses are much appreciated!

Cheers,
Drew

Hi,

You might get more informative answers by asking this question on an
iCal-specific newsgroup, such as the Apple Discussions board. The only
option I'm currently aware of is in iCal's preferences, in the Advanced
section, where you can "turn off alarms when iCal is not open". That way,
you won't be annoyed by redundant alarms, provided you do not leave iCal
running all the time.
