Description Nicolas RAOUL 2007-11-06 00:16:45 UTC

Version:           KOrganizer: 3.5.6 (enterprise 0.20070907.709405), Qt: 3.3.7 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Steps to reproduce:

- Have an "example.vcs" calendar file ready, I personally used an older VCalendar 2.0 file saved from KOrganizer 3.3.1.
- Start KOrganizer.
- In the "Calendar" pane, click on "Add...".
- Select "Calendar in Local File" and click "Ok".
- Select your example.vcs and click "Ok".
- At that point, nothing appeared. I expected to see my events from example.vcs show up, but nothing.

It is not a format/compatibility/vcs/ics problem, because when I do an "Export" (in the "File" menu), it produces a file where I can see my events from the example.vcs file. It is definitely a bug in the user interface.

I have tried importing the following into KOrganizer:

-------------------------------------------------

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//K Desktop Environment//NONSGML KOrganizer 3.3.1//EN
VERSION:2.0

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTAMP:20070523T010000Z

CLASS:PUBLIC
PRIORITY:5
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1;BYMONTHDAY=23;BYMONTH=05
TRANSP:OPAQUE
END:VEVENT

END:VCALENDAR
-------------------------------------------------

And then saving back.
Last time I overlooked and thought it was the same content, but actually it is not: the DTSTAMP is replaced with a DTSTART with value 23/05/2935093.

So, I have a workaround: I just replaced DTSTAMP with DTSTART in the calendar file, and now it is imported well :-)

I am quite new to VCALENDAR so I can not tell whether my VCALENDAR sample is valid or not, and whether it is a bug or not. Thus marking as RESOLVED.
