ICS meeting invitation import into calendar

Open kotecky opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

An ICS failed to get imported into calendar ("Internal server error"), both on click from attachment and by upload. The file (sanitized in a text editor to remove name and domain) is attached: undefined.zip It originates from MS Outlook (Win 10).

Two modals instead of one open after clicking on the ics icon in email. Clicking Cancel results in opening another modal.

The modals could open in the email window, there is not much value in switching to the calendar. Unless a preview of the event is displayed in the calendar grid (not on my mobile, possibly due to the above error) or details of the event are displayed in the modal.

I've just tried this one in current runbox7, and it imports fine. The calendar page is the one that does the ICS parsing+importing currently, so we do need to switch there. When parsed correctly (as now for me) then a summary of the event is shown, and you get to pick which calendar to import it into.

We could ponder switching back afterwards, if the import has come from an email, the same way "cancel compose" returns to whichever page/folder you were viewing before you clicked it.
