My supposition that it has to do with some file watching process seems to be wrong. I shut down X, switched to a virtual console and edited the std.ics file to be as I wanted it to be (i.e. I adjusted the times). Then I copied this file to another location, started up KDE and did the following: $ diff std.ics .kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics $ korganizer $ # everything looks fine in korganizer $ diff std.ics .kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics $ # quit korganizer $ diff std.ics .kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics $ kontact $ # everything is buggy in kontact / korganizer part $ diff std.ics .kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics $ # quit kontact $ diff std.ics .kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics 2c2 < PRODID:-//K Desktop Environment//NONSGML KOrganizer 3.5.5//EN --- > PRODID:-//K Desktop Environment//NONSGML libkcal 3.5//EN 5c5 < DTSTAMP:20061031T210350Z --- > DTSTAMP:20061031T210614Z 27c27 < DTSTAMP:20061031T210350Z [... lots of stuff moved to different places within the file ...] I mean, the diff shows that the file was written by a different library using Kontact than using KOrganizer and this library a) puts all sort of events in different places (I'm sorry I can't just paste the diff due to confidential information) and b) messes up this date. So probably this is an error ob libkcal? tgp. Am Dienstag, 31.

KOrganizer explicitly sets the application name in libkcal to "KOrganizer 3.5.5.", while the kontact part does not set the application name, so the generic "libkcal 3.5" is used. However, the same library is used for everything (actually, the same code is used for practically all of korganizer and the kontact part). I have no idea, why the problems appear that you are seeing.. Cheers, Reinhold Well, then the place where the Kontact and KOrganizer handling of the libkcal differ, there must be a problem. I don't have the time and the skills to look at the source and say: "Ah, it calls myCal->scrambleICSFile() in Kontact where it doesn't in KOrganizer", but... well, I believe that the problems with my recurring events will be fixed when libkcal won't shuffle the std.ics file any more :-) tgp. I think this is the same bug as bug 136221. The summary plugin somehow screws something up regarding recurrences. This is probably correct; when removing the events/calendar view from the summary, the events are stores/reloaded correctly. tgp. |
