Installed from:    Compiled sources

Hello
Importing a calendar file received from a travel agency does not work on KDE 4.4 RC1. The error is: "could not load calendar file file.vcs". When I try to import as new calendar, the calendar is created but no events are shown. Removing ";CHARSET=UTF-8" does not change behaviour. 

Korganizer is not really usable for everyday use without that feature.

When I try to load your calendar I have theses errors:

This calendar is not correct so korganizer can't load it. It's normal.

korganizer(26353)/kresources KRES::Resource::open: Opening resource "/home/laurent/toto.vcs"

From your output it seems that it tries loading it as ical-file. It should be vcal or doesn't it matter?

Comment 3 Sergio Martins 2010-02-10 17:00:54 UTC

As far as I remember, it tries to load an ics file, if it doesn't work it tries to load as vcal.

Doesn't your vcal need the VERSION tag?

Please read http://www.imc.org/pdi/vcal-10.txt

You vcal is malformed, therefor korganizer doesn't show any events.

It needs a VERSION
