My settings are exactly like the image you sent - 1 minute autosave 
delay and file monitoring enabled.

What I noticed is that for several days, when I created new events in 
korganizer they would appear in my std.ics after a short delay.  Then, 
for some reason, new events stopped appearing in std.ics but were still 
showing up in korganizer;  the delay wasn't just a few minutes or hours, 
but days would go by and nothing was written to std.ics.  I noticed, 
however, that the changes were stored in the databases in 
local/akonadi.  (It seems that once things stopped going into std.ics, 
they never went in again.)

My immediate problem is that I had been backing up std.ics since, at 
least when I started, all events were there.  Now that I know I need to 
backup .local/akonadi, I'm OK.  However, it seems strange that the 
behavior seemed to change for no apparent reason.  Perhaps it's that I 
don't fully comprehend the relationship between akonadi and std.ics.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Thanks!!
