I am fairly new to Leo Editor, which appears to be exactly what I'm looking for in PIM.  

I plan to use Leo mainly for PIM with scheduling.  Is there a calendar plugin? If not, what are the methods do you use for incorporating a calendar-like feature?

The todo.py plugin has scheduling features. There is supposedly a calendar popup, enabled by user settings, but enabling those settings causes a crash. So for now the calendar popup seems to be a dead feature.

Hi Jacob,

I miss Org Mode for the calendar based scheduling but who can be bothered with the Emacs stuff on Win, well I can't. I live in Leo every day though I use only a tiny fraction of the power and rely on Ed and others here to hold my hand which they do promptly and uncomplaining despite my patience testing problems. But I haven't had much joy with Leo as an org-mode schedule/reminder replacement. 

In my recent attempt to return to the fantastic reminder features of org mode I came across Rainlendar - https://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php  Keyboard short cut driven calendar events, to dos, with multiple alarms. It's great. Now if somehow it could make a date/time named node in leo where I could more easily see and process the content of the events at my leisure. Well that would be just dandy. 

Ta like, IH

Thank, Edward and Israel.  I'll check out rainlendar, though I too want to live mainly in Leo.

That's one big feature I miss in Leo as well. I used ECCO for many years, but finally had to abandon it. Miss its calendar and multiple printing options, though.

Rob, exactly.  I miss ECCO but needed to move on. I'm glad for Leo and hope that all those ECCO wizards migrate to Leo and come up with a similar plugin solution.
