I'm experimenting using ical2org.sh to import google calendars. One
limitation, as noted in the header is:
# - does process RRULE recurring events, but ignores COUNT specifiers
so if you have a repeating event in google (e.g. every day for four
week), the ics file has:
RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;COUNT=4
The script will take the first day of the event, but not the remaining
three days. I think this could be solved in a couple of ways:
1. create four events, moving the date by one each time.
2. extending the syntax of timestamps so that something like:
* Pick up Sam at school
<2007-05-16 Wed 12:30 3+1w>
means repeat this event 3 times (rather than indefinitely). Or "+1w:3"
or something similar, I don't mind the syntax as long as it doesn't
break other parts of timestamps.
Has extending the syntax of the repeater interval been considered to
allow finite number of repeats? I can offer to code something up for
consideration if this sounds sensible.
Thanks, Stephen
