I want to import an ICS file in my calendar, but since I use multiple calendars, I want to specifiy the calendar name or identifier.
These are the labels which can be used:
X-WR-CALNAME - The display name of the calendar
X-WR-CALDESC - A description of the calendar
X-WR-RELCALID - A globally unique identifier for the calendar
Are these supported by the ICS usage for emclient? And if so, how do I find my X-WR-RELCALID?
Why not just create a separate folder for the imported ics?
If it is a local folder calendar, you can even make it a sub-folder of an existing calendar.
Yes, that’s the plan: to insert the event in a separate folder, which I must identify somehow. So I need to know the identifier of that folder.
In the current situation, the default (?) calendar is shown, so I have to click-click-click through my calendars and subfolder to reach the target folder. And I want to skip the click-click-click and see the target immediately when I import the ICS.
The import is a one-time event. Does it really matter if you need to click a few times?
Another option is to create the calendar folder in eM Client, then drop the ics file directly into that calendar. No need to go through the import dialogue.
I use it as follows: an ICS file is created by my software and when I open the file (by clicking on it in the download-folder), it is opened as a new event in the mailclient. I just need to click on the ‘Save and close’ button to save the event in my calendar. Next to the ‘Save and close’ button there is a dropdown with my calendars and subfolders per calendar. The top-calendar is selected in the dropdown, but I need to add the event in another calendar-subfolder. So clicking is the only option to do this.
You could just drag the ics file to the appropriate calendar folder in eM Client. No need to open it at all.
Yes, I know. But we are drifted away from my original questions:
Are these labels in an ICS file supported by emClient?
And if so, how do I find the X-WR-RELCALID of my calendar/subfolder?
Can you answer this question?
When importing ics files into eM Client, you need to specify the target calendar.
Another option is to just drag the ics file from Explorer, and drop it directly into the target calendar.
