Description Daniel Mader 2010-03-26 17:00:43 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

When creating a new event with a recurrence, this seems to happen in a manner which is not compatible with Google Calender. I am using two-way synchronizing with GCALDaemon v1.0 beta16. 

It does not seem to be a general problem, because I can create recurring events nicely with my Palm Pre, synchronize this with Google Calendar, and this again with Kontact/KOrganizer. All recurrence date appear nicely within korganizer, too!

Here's the output of two  manual syncs. The second one fails because I created a new recurring event (asdf). After such a sync, the recurring event is deleted from Kontact, too!

Can you post the event source?
Comment 3 Daniel Mader 2010-03-27 14:58:26 UTC
The calendar is an ical-file. (I don't know any other source which works with GCALDaemon.)
Comment 4 Sergio Martins 2011-07-08 19:19:24 UTC
That's a problem with GCALDaemon.

Try using the DAV akonadi resource to connect to google, in kdepim 4.6.
