Description Jeremy Bicha 2017-02-15 00:18:41 UTC 
gnome-calendar sets text/calendar in its .desktop.

But text/calendar is the mimetype for .ics files
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/tree/freedesktop.org.xml.in#n5366

Until gnome-calendar can handles .ics files (bug 739295), it should not set this mimetype.

Maybe gnome-control-center's Details (info) panel and gnome-shell can special-case gnome-calendar so the integration works there even without ics support.

This was added to the .desktop here:
