Description Michael Mol 2017-02-21 19:14:04 UTC

I have an ical file that weighs in at 1,522,206 lines, 667,649 words, 85,057,057 bytes. It takes ages to import into Kontact 5.2.3 on my laptop. In fact, I'm not sure how long it takes; I let it run overnight, and it didn't complete on that machine. I had to xkill Kontact and refresh the calendar. I'm seeing both baloo_file_extractor and kontact each pegging a core.

Despite this, I had no progress indication available from Kontact while it was refreshing the calendar. My IMAP inboxes, I see update information for, but not this calendar.

It would be supremely helpful to have an idea of its progress.

this sounds like a problem in the libical library.
any chance you could send me a sanitized version? or in private?

Sure. Since I generated the file, I can almost certainly generate a lorem
ipsum version to reproduce.

could you validate the file first?
there are a couple online validators, for example https://icalendar.org/validator.html
