exosceleton 27/02/2006 12:50pm | there are programs that put several calendar events into a single ics file.
Scribe only imports the last event in that file. I dont know wat the standard is for the ics file format, and wheter it is considered "wrong" to put more that one event in a file, but would you consider implementing a ics file import function for more than 1 event? |
fret 27/02/2006 9:09pm | I've heard of this before and forgot about it. Because I havn't needed it personally I never got around to implementing it.
Anyway I think it's worth having another look at. |
exosceleton 01/03/2006 8:37am | I'm not sure how easy this would be to implement, but i was just thinking that it would be very handy when scribe could not only in/export to such a file,but also synchronise with it.
To facilitate a file standard based way of interprogram (inter platform) communication, or just a way to keep 2 scribe calendars (home-work,partner-partner) in sync. (as an offline alternative to using server based shared calendaring) just thinking out loud... exo |
exosceleton 07/05/2007 8:59am | just ran into this problem again and remembered that we discussed this previously.
have you distilled any thoughts on the "multiple events in a ics file" concept, fret? |
fret 10/05/2007 2:06am | I'm not sure how easy this would be to implement, but i was just thinking that it would be very handy when scribe could not only in/export to such a file,but also synchronise with it. This is a nice idea. In fact I want to add read only support for this soon to the existing calendar system. But adding write support is hard, for several reasons. There are many ways to write to a file (local/web/ftp/dav), and there is locking in a multiple user environment etc etc. just ran into this problem again and remembered that we discussed this previously. This is fixed for the next build. |
exosceleton 10/05/2007 6:10am | lets see if i have this right.
scribe will then be capable to sync with a ICS file, one way ics-->scribe. and scribe will be capable to export to ICS. so if i set a scribe install (lets say scribe1) to sync with ICSfile a, and then export to ICSb... and i sync scribe2 with ICSb and export to ICSa, i could syncronise scribe1 & scribe2? |
