Do-It 1.0: Major iCal time-saver

iCal is a great calendaring app, but if you're a heavy user, you'll sympathize with us when we say it drives us nuts. Really, the most troublesome part of using iCal is adding events. Lots of unnecessary clicks and options that you can hide and show combine to slow you down when you're creating an event. Something that should take ten seconds takes forty.

So we went in search of something to speed the process up--and we found it. Do-It is an Automator app that has a single screen for entering iCal events, and it is much faster that iCal itself. Almost every option is there, though recurring events aren't implemented. Do-It is definitely going in our dock.

Downloaded Tiger version and installed and ran Do-It and iCal opens before Do-It opens. I might as well enter the event in iCal since it's already open. Is Do-It suppose to open iCal every time?
