That makes sense. Just a bit confusing because I would have thought
modifying would just be the default, since presumably that's the normal
reason for creating a new calendar.

Anyway. I created the new calendar and chose the calendar.ics to install
in it. I then get a message at the bottom saying "opening the calendar."
But when the message goes away there's nothing in the calendar. When I
try to create a sample event in that calendar, the app stops responding
and I have to shut down Evo.

It seems that changing the preference settings for the workweek somehow
corrupted my .ics file. That's buggy.

Hopefully when I get home my backup can be used. Should I copy it
to ..../.local/share/evolution/calendar/system, or have Evolution import
it from its location on the backup medium?

Thanks.
