Title: Public Holidays In Gpe Calender? Import I/vcal?
Post by: jan on May 29, 2006, 04:47:12 am
I'd like to have a reminder entry for any public holiday. Is the best way importing an iCal file or does GPE have any support for national holidays?

The new gpe-calendar 0.73 (to be released any day now) features calendar subscriptions, so you can subscribe to online calendars, such as the mozilla national holidays calendars. If you don't want to wait, try importing the .ics file, that's what I did on my nokia 770.

Attached is a screenshot if it running on my hx4700, the coloured ones are webcals

That's good news, thank you.

Importing ics Files doesn't quite work for me, though. It seems GPE ignores the timezone information in the ics file. If I import the soccer world cup calender (http://www.4wdmedia.de/download/fifa-wm-2006.ics), which is in CEST, Europe/Berlin (GMT+2) all games are two hours later in GPE but correct in Evolution.

JFTR, on my Zaurus TZ=MESZ-1MEZ, /etc/localtime symlinks to Europe/Berlin, but the problem doesn't seem to be here because `date` and `date -u` work.

Thanks
