Re: [SyncEvolution] Kontact's ics-calendar-file to N900 synchronises properly until VTODO's or VJOURNAL items are present.

Aahaaa, Thanks for the extensive reply.

That only works for .ics files which contain one of VEVENT, > VTODO, or VJOURNAL, but not a mixture of them. After using a small ics file for setting up and testing, I copied a standard ics file from korganizer in the directory ${HOME}/.SyncEvolutionData/: [hansdej@debian]>cp ${HOME}/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std0.ics ${HOME}/.SyncEvolutionData/calendar.ics and the working calendat source configuration with the test calendar.ics file: ********calendar config********** [calendar] sync = two-way type = file:text/calendar evolutionsource = file:///home/hansdej/.SyncEvolutionData/ uri = Calendar **************************** But enter the VEVENTS and/or VJOURNAL, things stopped working.

Guess I 'll have to work around it for now then: tell Korganizer to refrain from mixing the different items in one file; that will not be difficult (just something to keep in mind all the time) > It wouldn't be too hard to write a SyncEvolution backend which accesses > a single .ics file.

Okay, that sounds nice. I am just a mere mortal, non-software developer, trying not to sound too pushy; But any idea of its maturity or estimation when we, simple mortals, can get our hands on this?

Thanks for also showing the applied example. Hans de Jonge
