Greetings,
I am near the end of migrating from Slack 12.2 to Slack 14.0. however, I am having difficulty importing my KDE3 korganizer calender data into the KDE4 version. I exported the KDE3 icalout.ics and vcalout.vcs data files and the KDE4 korganizer doesn't complain about either one when I import it, but the resulting calender does not have any of the calender event information. I checked the “~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics” file after importation and the event information appears to be in that file, but it doesn't seem to be processed.

Thinking it may be a caching problem, I shut down and re-booted, but the result is the same.

Is there something I missed and can do to get this information to display properly without re-entering all my data again, with possible errors?

Thanks in advance.

Girvin:

Did your ~/.kde directory remain during this upgrade from the previous version, or...
was /home on it's own partition during this upgrade process?
Is the ~/.kde directory an "artifact" from Slackware12.2?

If it's not, then I don't know.
If it is, the I would try shutting down the korganizer program and temporarily mv'ing the korganizerrcc and
std.ics files to backup with
and fire up korganizer and do the import again.

Worse case scenario is you have to put them back.

Here's my korganizerrc file contents:
I have never used the program so those should be "clean" or nearly default values.

Please let us know...

Habitual,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
No, I started out with a new hard drive and there was no contamination from my S12.2 system.
I tried renaming the files as you suggested and did the import again with the same results. I did merge my calendar import into the existing default "Personal" calendar. I did notice that even after I renamed the two files, korganizer still came up with the second calendar I created and tried yesterday to no avail. So, there is still some configuration data in there somewhere other than this rc file.

My korganizerrc file is a lot different from yours. Below are the version before I renamed it, and then the version after I restarted it before the import.

Note that there are two other rc files: korganizer-printing.rc and korganizer-mobilerc.

Is it possible that there is some sort of date format problem between the old korganizer export and the new korganizer?
That could be a problem - no matching dates.

I use korganizer extensively for my scheduling. That is why I need my old data in it.

Thanks in advance.

Girvin:

I fired up ko and poked around.

I then imported my Rainlendar.ics file into ko and no error, but no data either, or so I thought, until I checked the std.ics
checkbox shown in the attachment, so I have to ask, have you done so as well?

My Rainlendar data showed up immediately when I did so.

Please use the [code][/code] markup around code in your replies. It keeps things nice and neat.
Thanks.

Please let us know...

JJ

Bingo!
That was it! My checkbox was greyed out, so I didn't even consider checking it and the help did not mention it. Real intuitive there.

Thanks much "Habitual" (JJ), you have made my day.

I have seen the code /code used before on this forum, but I was not sure what the context was. You have enlightened me.

Thanks again.

Now where is that button to mark this thread as solved...

Glad it worked out!
