I can't believe that there isn't a wishlist for this already, but
apparently there isn't.

Hrm... on further read, this is more important than that: having an
'import from file' menu in the calendar implies that calendars can be
imported, which they can't. Marking as UI, 1.0, and Major; once the UI
stuff is cleaned up this should be wishlisted for the feature request.
Comment 3 Damon Chaplin 2001-09-05 02:16:59 UTC 
Ideally we should be able to import iCalendar (.ics) files and the
older vCalendar (.vcf) files (at least).

Though we are in a feature freeze and have little time etc. so
I don't know what we will do here.

Note that a few people on evolution-list have been working on
importing vCalendar files, so their work may be useful.

What can we do for this?

Hide the 'Import' menu item in the calendar and tasks folders?
That is the only thing I can think of. But it comes from the shell,
I think, so I'm not sure we can do that.

Damon, does this mean you're working on libicalvcal? If so, I'll start
doing the importer.
Comment 12 Damon Chaplin 2001-12-05 23:53:57 UTC 
I will look at it after all 1.0.1 bugs are fixed.

Comment 14 Damon Chaplin 2002-02-09 02:03:01 UTC 
I've committed my code to head now.

But it still needs a way to determine the type of the folder it is
importing into (calendar/tasks), so it knows which objects to import.
Currently it just imports all of them.
Comment 15 Rodrigo Moya 2002-07-15 20:04:17 UTC 
Should be fully implemented now in HEAD, with support for importing
into remote folders (ie, Exchange)
