That shows the "text" grammar type to need escaping of commas and CATEGORIES is of this type, as well: The "TEXT" property values may also contain special characters that are used to signify delimiters, such as a COMMA character for lists of values or a SEMICOLON character for structured values. In order to support the inclusion of these special characters in "TEXT" property values, they MUST be escaped with a BACKSLASH character. A BACKSLASH character (US-ASCII decimal 92) in a "TEXT" property value MUST be escaped with another BACKSLASH character. A COMMA character in a "TEXT" property value MUST be escaped with a BACKSLASH character (US-ASCII decimal 92). A SEMICOLON character in a "TEXT" property value MUST be escaped with a BACKSLASH character (US-ASCII decimal 92). However, a COLON character in a "TEXT" property value SHALL NOT be escaped with a BACKSLASH character.Example: A multiple line value of:
actually its not:
Type name: CATEGORIES
Type purpose: To specify application category information about the
vCard.
Type encoding: 8bit
Type value: One or more text values separated by a COMMA character
(ASCII decimal 44).
Type example:
CATEGORIES:TRAVEL AGENT
CATEGORIES:INTERNET,IETF,INDUSTRY,INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
so this would be valid: sometext\,,somemoretext
i know that the standard is just plain stupid at this point since the
categories is the only occasion they are using a comma
and besides... even the evolution2 vcard parser is expecting the
categories with an unescaped comma :)
The second one is that when i add several tasks/events, request them via e_cal_get_changes, delete all of them and request again using e_cal_get_changes the returned GList will contain more items than delete d and the additional items look like random memory locations. I attached the code that produces this result. I took a look at the bug database and there are quite some bugs which reporting crashing etc when deleting tasks/events, so maybe this is related.Probably unrelated, but it might help against some pilot bugs. What is the exactly version you are coding against?
