Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: When i find a .ics file that save calendar data, i double click it or right click and select open with evolution, it will be use evolution calendar to present the .ics file. This function can be implmented in outlook in windows. Actual Results: Expected Results: How often does this happen? Additional Information:
I think gnome has some mechanism of registering and activating, so if evolution has the next function , this bug will be fix. File ---> open ---> calendar file, the evolution calendar will present the calendar file. Now, Evolution can open a default calendar file in $HOME/evolution/local/Calendar/calendar.ics. I think we make the calendar according to user's input. if we complete this function. we can open a calendar file through double click a calendar file like in windows.
Actually you can import it, but automation sounds good.
I'd like to tentatively nominate this for 2.1, or perhaps even sooner- given rodney's new calendar thingy for webcal://, can't we also trivially subscribe to or view file://foo.ics files? It's very odd to get emailed a .ics file, open the email in evo, and have evo tell me I don't have a viewer installed.
retargetting from 2.3 to 2.5

Bumping version to a stable release.
On Fedora 16 / GNOME 3.2, doubleclicking on an ics file in GNOME's file manager (Nautilus) opens the "Evolution Import Assistent". I think this is sufficient to close this as ALREADYFIXED.
