Outlook creates new calendar on import?

Open inctor opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

When double-clicking the ICS file, it opens in Outlook and created a new calendar, instead of importing to the current/default calendar.

If the "METHOD" is set as "REQUEST", it opens the "accept" window and only imports 1 of the events specified, if METHOD is changed to PUBLISH it imports to a new calendar but includes both events.

I remember something about "X-WR-RELCALID", but couldn't find anything in this project about it, nor do i fully understand how it works.

This is the full ICS file contents:

Is it possible to always ensure it imports to the current/default calendar? It works that way, if you "drag and drop" it in Outlook, but not double-clicking.
