This is a simple wrapper around the calendar-backend API that allows for:

• import ics files
• export ics files
• deleting completed tasks (batch)
• moving late tasks to today (batch)

It's been in extras-devel for awhile now, but finally added the bug tracker and promoted to testing.

I am using it to script import and export operations from the Maemo calendar since I do not connect my phone to my company's Exchange server. I think I have finer control this way.

Hope it's useful and will see more use in extras-testing.

Thanks for this tool!

BTW, link here: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...caltool/0.0.9/

I just installed it but I'm not sure where it actually got installed. I may have a look at the deb file later, but perhaps you could post some examples of how to run this tool (including the path and name of the tool itself

Cheers.

You run it from the command line.

E.g. to export a calendar:

You'll want to get the internal name of the calendar with this first before performing operations:
Run it with no options to get all operations available.

Run an operation with no options to see the individual operation usage.

Thanks jackburton,

I know it's a command line tool (it's in the title of the thread , but for sure it's not in the user's PATH, so my question was were exactly this thing got installed so I can find it (and possible add its path to the PATH).

OK I just did # dpkg -L maecaltool
and apparently it's only installed stuff in /usr/share/doc/maecaltool
(in particular, a file named "copyright")

Sorry I cannot actually see the .deb contents (at work, and only XP), but I think you should have a look at it (or someone else confirm if I'm right or wrong?).

You can open deb files in Windows using 7-Zip

I can see only the copyright file in the deb found at
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...caltool/0.0.9/

@sakya,

Thanks for confirming that only the copyright file is there.
And no, I (we) only have an old version of Winzip.. and no possibility of running/installing non-approved software

Not even some portable stuff?

@algiz,

OFF-TOPIC: yeah, I guess that would work (officially not allowed, but would work..), but hey, I also have to work , it's enough that I spend a large % of my time reading this forum

Sorry guys, I'll double check the packaging and see what has gone wrong. It should be installed in the path. I'll look at it tonight.
