Anyhow, I think whats really happening is that Evolution wants to use
the CATEGORIES as a whole single string and breaks it up in the UI
itself.  The \, means we are treating the categories as a single block
rather a delimited list, that is valid icalendar, if a bit unusual.


So, judging from your answer, that you are not going to change this?


Not in the short term, is there a specific issue this is causing you?

I just have to change your vcard parser to make a exception in this case
then. (btw: i changed your vcard parser to parser vcards, vnotes,
vcalendar and generate these as well)

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?

ii  evolution      2.0.4-0.1      The groupware suite
ii  evolution-data 1.0.4-0.1      evolution database backend server

Note that i deleted 3 tasks (the ones with *1000-1*)


Have you looked at the .xml file on disk to see if thats being updated
properly?

Yes. i attached the ics and .db files after the first sync (after i
added 3 tasks) and after the second one (with the deletion). Nothing
suspicious...


Well, next step would be to debug the code in the file backend
(e-d-s/calendar/backends/file).  It will be several days before i could
get to this, but you can ping me with any questions if you want to take
a crack.


Attached is patch against eds-1.0.4 to fix this bug. The bug was caused
since you modified a hashtable during a call to g_hash_table_foreach.
You call e_xmlhash_foreach_key during
e_cal_backend_file_compute_changes. Then the callback
e_cal_backend_file_compute_changes_foreach_key removes entries. This
works if only 1 is removed but leads to corruption when removing several
items.

See the comments on
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-Hash-Tables.html#g-hash-table-foreach

The correct solution is to provide a new e_xmlhash_foreach_key_remove
function where it is safe to remove a key. The attached patch does this.
I suggest that you check the remaining code for similar errors.
