Drag&Drop Import

[georgehrke]

When dragging a calendar file from the desktop to the calendar app

• [ ] everything but the calendar list should get a grey overlay
• [ ] a temporary Import into new calendar calendar item should appear
• [ ] user should be able to drop ics files onto any writable calendar or the Import into new calendar calendar item
• [ ] What to do when a user drags multiple ics files into the calendar? Options when dropping onto the Import into new calendar item:
• import all ics files into one new calendar
• import each ics files into a new dedicated calendar
• show two temporary calendar items instead:
  • Import into one new calendar
  • Import into {n} new calendars

This feature would be awesome for importing events from websites that give you ICS files for bookings. Would save a bunch of clicks 👍

Today I was importing ICS events for my College, I dragged an ICS file into the NextCloud Web Calendar app and it just gave me a download popup (for the ICS) instead.

I believe many others must have this experience, and it overall makes using the Nextcloud Calendar app not appealing to the end user who then has to pull up a separate native calendar app to handle the ICS import.

FYI: You don't need to use a native calendar app. There is an import on the bottom-left corner ("Calendar settings" -> "Import calendar"). This allows you to select the target calendar to import the event-file into.

It's just hidden and not named well.
