[BitPim-devel] Importing iCal file with Alarms

[T Gallagher]

I've been trying to import my iCal calendar into bitpim and getting some
strange stuff.

In particular, quite a few of my events have an alarm attached to them.
When I import the calendar, these events all become titled "Alarm
notification". I think it's because inside the event, there is an alarm and
inside the alarm there is a SUMMARY field that contains "Alarm
notification". This seems to be overriding the SUMMARY field for the event
itself.

Here is an example of an event with an alarm that gets imported as "Alarm
notification"

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;TZID=US/Pacific:20061020T120000
SUMMARY:needs lunch
UID:B02964A5-BF08-40F1-B594-D909694E73AA
SEQUENCE:2
DTSTAMP:20061020T075545Z
DURATION:PT1H
BEGIN:VALARM
ACTION:EMAIL
SUMMARY:Alarm notification
TRIGGER:-P1D
ATTENDEE:mailto:***@xxx.net
DESCRIPTION:This is an event reminder
X-WR-ALARMUID:CECD2967-911F-4778-94D6-DFD49373DAB8
END:VALARM
END:VEVENT
