Holidays in Greece

SUMMARY

I import an .ics calendar containing holidays, it says it's imported successfully but no holidays show.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download the attached .ics file (taken from simple calendar: https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Calendar/tree/master/app/src/main/assets )
2. Import it in korganizer
3. no holidays show

OBSERVED RESULT

no holidays appear & no error messages either

EXPECTED RESULT

holidays should appear

the ics files you refer to are not valid . or at least not valid enough to make KOrganizer happy.

try loading greece.ics into https://icalendar.org/validator.html and you'll see some problems, especially the PRODID is missing.

You did encounter a known bug that KOrganizer will tell you it successfully loaded a calendar even though it failed.

I'll attach a new greece.ics where I added the PRODID.  You should be able to load this succesfully

ok so this may be a vCalendar format and not an iCalendar formatted file.

I have a patch that might help.  The patch is currently under review.

Ahh, didn't realise it was a different kind of formatted calendar, my bad.

Since the not notifying for failure bug is already known should I close this/mark it as a duplicate?

Well, feel free to do whatever, you probably know better.

Thanks a lot for fixing the calendar! (Importing through Korganizer's, add calendar, ical file etc) doesn't work, but opening the file directly and adding it from Korganizer's popup does)

should be fixed in the next KDE frameworks release
