My Calendar.ics is a 360K large file, full of ical tags. Really not
practical to crop inside it.

In case this matter is still valid for rel 1.2 then please consider

1) a way to select calendar and to-dos range of events by date, in the
following forms: start-date/end date, before/date, after/date

2) that selection  should be movable to folders, copiable,
deletable/trashable, achivable and restorable from archiving, exportable
in standard formats. (sorry for the kicks on the dictionary)

Once the events get managed in evolution, Palm syncing should perform as
usual.
