1.1.6/Aaslakkajärvi Problem with importing .ics files
asked 2015-06-15 18:32:29 +0200
Maybe it is just me: I tried to import an .ics file i created with my N900 in order to "synchronize" (I know, it is no synch) the Jolla calendar with the N900.
I transfered the .ics file to the jolla and clicked on it in settings->system->transfers The calendar opened and asked me whether I want to import. I accepted and the Jolla made a nice sound, confirmed that the calendar was imported but: there is no entry in my Jolla calendar.
Did I miss something?
EDIT: apparently it is a bug. I have retagged and retitled the question
I have exported 30 days of may outlook calendar as a single ics file and updated my jolla to 1.1.6.27, but... 1. i got no entry in settings->system for transfering/importing calendar entries 2. i tried with the file explorer and opened up my ics file and i got my calendar entries displayed (!) BUT after pressing the "import" button i had (still) an empty calendar! So a little different situation but still the same bad result.
Please help/bugfix!
EDIT: if found out that if i extract some calendar entries (vevents) from the ics-file and save them as a new one then the import (via file explorer and open command) really works! So there are some commands or options in the ics-file from MS Outlook 2013 that seem to crash the import of the complete ics file (for calendar entries for the next 30 days).
EDIT 18.06.2015: I found out that the following line (in birthday entries) in ICS-Files (created by MS Outllok 2013) can't be processed by the Jolla calendar import feature: RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;COUNT=1;BYMONTHDAY=23;BYMONTH=6 If i delete those entries then i can import all calendar entries in my ICS-File (including lots of entries for 30 days in total).
In addition the time zone entries in the ICS-files (created by MS Outlook 2013) are not processed correctly because they lead to wrong times in my imported calendar entries (+1 hour). If i delete those timezone entries, the imported calendar entries have the correct times. Example: BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:W. Europe Standard Time BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20151025T030000 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYDAY=-1SU;BYMONTH=10 TZOFFSETFROM:+0200 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20150329T020000 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYDAY=-1SU;BYMONTH=3 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0200 END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE
