Kopi .ics Import/sync Is 8 Hours Off

[gen2]

configuration is set to proper timezone, date and time is set correctly.
Tried deleting kopi preference/config files, which reset things to clean slate, but still on import of .ics or syncing, appointment times appear exactly 8 hours too early...I must be missing something...

thanks!

rc8 is some fine machinery, btw

Is the time zone set properly on the originating source of the ics? Also are you settng the timezone before importing? And thirdly, from where are you importing?

Yes, originating time zone and settings are all proper, yes I set the timezone on Z before importing, and rebooted for good measure. Import is from korganizer.

Weird things: It's been working for months on rc5, and the problem showed up when I moved to rc8. I've used an scp script within the normal sync setup in kopi, which pulled std.ics from korganizer (the desktop unit); also used a direct local import of .ics file -- same results.

Weirder: If I open up the .ics file I'm trying to import, the timestamps for events are correct, so whatever the issue is, it appears to be local to the Z. I seem to be the only one with this issue, so it's almost certainly something I've tweaked into broken-ness...

Thanks for the help!

Q:
How do I change the timezone? All my appointments do show 6 hours ahead.
A:
The default timezone in KO/Pi is CET.
CET is (GMT +01:00) or (UTC +01:00), i.e GMT=UTC .
To adjust the time of your appointments,
you have to change the timezone and reload your calendar without closing
the application and without saving the data.
"Without saving the data" is very important.
Note that KO/Pi has build in auto saving.
If auto saving is performed after changing the timezone and before
reloading your calendar no times will be changed.
Example:
Selected timezone in KO/Pi is (+01:00 Oslo).
You have an appointment shown at 8:00. But it should be at 14:00.
Your timezone is -05:00 US/Eastern.
You have to do:
Select timezone +07:00 Asia/Bangok in config dialog.
Close dialog with ok button.
Choose menu: File-Load Calendar Backup.
Choose file: (your home path)/Applications/korganizer/mycalendar.ics
(on Windows: file: (your home path)/korganizer/mycalendar.ics).
Load file.
Now your appointment is at 14:00.
Select timezone -05:00 US/Eastern  in config dialog.
Close KO/Pi (file is saved when closing and changes are not yet saved).
Restart KO/Pi.
Your timezone is -05:00 US/Eastern.
Your appointment is at 14:00.
Everything is ok.
