[bug] When recurring events have individual event occurrences deleted, the exports do not reflect this

Open Gitoffthelawn opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

To recreate the bug:

  1. Create a recurring event in a local calendar
  2. Delete the third occurrence of that event (but not the entire event)
  3. Export the calendar

Bug: There is no indication in the exported file that one of the occurrences of the event has been deleted.

Tested with v2.2

This also happens with imports as event expections are not imported at all.

I can confirm this problem. It seems like the EXDATE property is not set on export, see: https://icalendar.org/iCalendar-RFC-5545/3-8-5-1-exception-date-times.html

@Gitoffthelawn @meiser79 Have you found a workaround?

@jkirk Greetings. I have not found a workaround using this software. The last version of this software I used was about 4 years ago, so I don't know if this issue has been resolved since then.

I did test ownCloud at one point, and it worked successfully with deleted occurrences of recurring events. But it's a very different type of software than this app.
