Setting default calendar account under which new events are created

[TCW]

Hi,

Is there a way to set the default account under which calendar account
get created? I have two account on my TB right now; one work and one
person. Any calendar event I create defaults to my work calendar but I
would like new events to be created under my personal calendar. Is it
possible?

Right click the calendar that you don't want the events created in,
select Properties and mark it "Read Only", or just Select the calendar
in the Calendar Pane. I find any event I create goes into the selected
calendar.

You can also select the calendar when creating an event.

All of my calendars are on my computer. No network (Google) calendars.

It defaults to whichever one is highlighted/selected in the left pane.

So, just make sure your personal is the one always highlighted/selected.

Note: I'm not talking about enabled (with the checkbox).

Are you talking about events you create manually yourself, or meeting
invites you receive from others?

Manually created events.

Highlight the calendar that you want new events to be created in.(see

Manually created will use the calendar that is selected/highlighted.

Meetings/invites will go to the calendar that is associated with the email address the invite was sent to.

Maybe I am not making it clear. When I click New Event, I would like it
to create that calendar event under a calendar which I've set as
default. In testing, I notice that if I switch my non-work GMail account
to be the default account it will also be the default calendar when I
create a New Event but I prefer to have my work account be my default
account since that's 99% of my work day use account.

No, you're being clear, you're just not groking the answers you've gotten.

Thunderbird/Lightning has no concept of 'Default Calendar'.

That was probably just coincidental.

Again, simply select/highlight the calendar in the list of calendars on the left (when you have the Calendar Tab open) you want to be 'the default', and new events will be created for that calendar.

Ok, highlighting it worked. Sorry for being thick. =P

Thanks all.

No problem, it isn't exactly obvious...
