Description Bernhard E. Reiter 2021-05-06 16:03:14 UTC

SUMMARY
The "iCal Calendar Folder" resource does not save the iCalender files to the configured path (as it is expected).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Kontact add a new calender resource, select "iCal Calendar Folder"
2. Configure it to use path in your home directory like "/home/bern/kontact/locally-saved-events"
3. Add a few events in kontact (to this calender resource)
4. Use kontact a while, sync the resource. 
5. Shutdown kontact / akonadi

OBSERVED RESULT
find /home/bern/kontact/locally-saved-events 
does not find any files

EXPECTED RESULT
Each calender entry should give an iCalender file in this directory.

Comment 1 Bernhard E. Reiter 2021-05-06 16:11:34 UTC

The problem was also seen with kdepim-runtime-20.12.1-lp152.245.2.x86_64
which was 5.16.x . For the test I've createda fresh resource.

I can confirm this issue.
