Thank you for clarifying this. That does indeed sound more logical.

I've been investigating the resources feature of Kronolith today, and  
I'll be urging my users to use it too. There appears to be a problem  
with editing a recurring event with an attached resource though. For  
example:

Create a recurring event, ('everyday', at 12pm-1pm, using resource  
'Conference Room').
On one day, change the resource for that day to 'Auditorium'.
Now, all past and future events have no resource allocated to them,  
but the resources own calendar shows all events in the recurring set  
have the new resource ('Auditorium').

Many thanks,

Tim
