Saving calendar duplicates the first event
Last modified: 2012-02-07 08:35:45 UTC
I select an On This Computer calendar, right click and select Save As. I select a folder, and format csv and click Saveas csv file just has prepended header if selected and numerous copies of a single event e.g. I have a UK Holidays calendar; save as created: UID, Summary, Description List, Categories List, Comment List, Completed, Created, Contact List, Start, End, Due, percent Done, Priority, URL, Attendees List, Location, Modified DECC1D87-B635-4EF8-B464-2F3812CD4620, Boxing Day, , , , , 2009-11-23 18:47:50, , 2009-12-26 00:00:00, 2009-12-27 00:00:00, , , , , , , 2009-11-23 18:47:50 DECC1D87-B635-4EF8-B464-2F3812CD4620, Boxing Day, , , , , 2009-11-23 18:47:50, , 2009-12-26 00:00:00, 2009-12-27 00:00:00, , , , , , , 2009-11-23 18:47:50 DECC1D87-B635-4EF8-B464-2F3812CD4620, Boxing Day, , , , , 2009-11-23 18:47:50, , 2009-12-26 00:00:00, 2009-12-27 00:00:00, , , , , , , 2009-11-23 18:47:50 DECC1D87-B635-4EF8-B464-2F3812CD4620, Boxing Day, , , , , 2009-11-23 18:47:50, , 2009-12-26 00:00:00, 2009-12-27 00:00:00, , , , , , , 2009-11-23 18:47:50 DECC1D87-B635-4EF8-B464-2F3812CD4620, Boxing Day, , , , , 2009-11-23 18:47:50, , 2009-12-26 00:00:00, 2009-12-27 00:00:00, , , , , , , 2009-11-23 18:47:50

Created attachment 201834 [details] [review] evo patch for evolution; Thanks for a bug report. I see I overlooked this while making changes in the code. Pretty stupid bug.
Created commit 1037643 in evo master (3.3.3+) Created commit 90a5ed4 in evo gnome-3-2 (3.2.3+)

I have been trying to use ics save as an alternative whilst waiting for this fix to reach ubuntu updates but have found essentially the same issue, the correct number of VEVENT records are written but are all duplicates of the first. Will the fix correct ics saveas as well?
Yes, it does fix it too. The best if the Ubuntu maintainers get whole 3.2.3 release, rather than just this fix.
