Re: [Evolution] Importing .ics files into Calendar loses recurring appointments.

[Michael-John Anthony <manthony michael-john net>]

Bug: 34673: Problems specifically with importing.

Bug: 34675: Problems with recurring appointments - appointments either
show up only once (instead of, say, 10 times over 10 consecutive days),
or if they do show up, then each appointment is an individual one - ie,
there is no correlation between recurrance anymore.

Both .ics files attached to bug 34675.

Cheers,

        - Michael-John.
