Calendar for the Xfce Desktop Environment

## NAME

orage - Calendar for the Xfce Desktop Environment

## SYNOPSIS

**orage** \[options\] \[\[FILE\]...\]

## DESCRIPTION

**orage** is a fast and easy to use graphical calendar for the Xfce Desktop Environment. It uses portable ical format and includes common calendar features like repeating appointments and multiple alarming possibilities. **orage** does not have group calendar features, but can only be used for single user.

**orage** takes a list of *FILE*s for ical files that should be imported. Contents of those files are read and converted into **orage**, but those files are left untouched.

For a more detailed explanation of **orage**, please see the Help menu.

## OPTIONS

- **-v**, **--version**

  Print version information and exit.

- **-?**, **--help**

  Print brief help and exit.

- **-p**, **--preferences**

  Open the preferences setting window.

- **-t**, **--toggle**

  Hide **orage** if it is visible and show it if it is hidden.

**-a**, **--add-foreign file \[RW\]**

Add a foreign file into **orage**. By default this file is read-only but adding RW after the filename makes it writeable.

- **-r**, **--remove-foreign file**

  Remove foreign file from **orage**. The file itself is not removed or modified. If you want to remove it, you need to do that separately using proper operating system command.

## FILES

All **orage** datafiles are by default in *~/.local/share/orage* and all configuration files are in *~/.config/orage*. (Note that you can change these locations, so if you do not find them, check from the UI.)

## BUGS
