Confirm mass deletion pop ups even though "Confirm deletions" is unchecked

[mll0]

OGCS Version: v2.10.6.0
Edition: Installed
Sync Direction: G->O

Bug Description
OGCS keeps asking confirmation for deleted appointments.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

1. Go to GCalendar
2. Erase a number of appointments (and recreate some) - for the record, these modifications are made from a GSheet macro.
3. When Sycning, OGCS produces a popup such as:
   
   even though, in the settings, "Confirm deletions" is unchecked:

If in step 2 you deleted all the events that were previously synced, then that would be entirely expected. Mass delete confirmation (all items in target calendar will be removed) isn't related to deletion confirmation (individual items).

If you actually want to keep deleting and recreating everything, the warning is easily avoided by creating a "dummy" event in Outlook.

Thanks for your quick answer

the warning is easily avoided by creating a "dummy" event in Outlook.

Can you elaborate on that? I don't get the way to avoid the mass deletion warning.

Given you are "merging with existing items", if you create an item in Outlook manually then OGCS won't want to delete that and you shouldn't get the mass deletion warning.

Well, I'm not merging with existing items. The script on GCalendar site does the following:

• wipe all events in a date range
• create events (compared to the events that were wiped, some are re-creations, some are new, some disappear)
  And I'd just like to see these events in Outlook.

Well, I can only go with the information you provided and as per your screenshot:

So have you tried putting an item in Outlook? Any reason you can't merge in items coming from Google, if you've since turned off that setting?

Might also be worth seeing if turning on simple matching might help in your situation too, if you're not able to get the previous suggestion to work.
