SUMMARY

On Arch, I've tried subscribing remote dynamic ics web calendars, with the
purpose of automatically and periodically sync them.  It ends up that's not
possible.

1st, in order to add such remote calendar, it has to be added as a file, and
then the worst part is that one gets the note:

>  Select the file whose contents should be represented by this resource. If the file does not exist, it will be created. A URL of a remote file can also be specified, but note that monitoring for file changes will not work in this case.

That means the remote calendar is never going to be synced.  As it's not synced
periodically, of course there's no configuration offer to specify how often to
sync the calendar.  I need to sync some every day, and others every 15 mins,
like the RO office365 one from where I work.  Those calendars need to be synced
because they are dynamic, meaning they change over time.  And korganizer seems
to only add ics web static calendars.  All such calendars are dynamic, but are
as well RO.  So I have no issue with them being set as RO, but I need them to
sync, and I need to be able to specify how often to sync, which on the warning
message lingo, it means I need them to be monitored...

I'm not using KDE/Plasma as DE, but instead LXQt, but I've installed and used
Kontact to test what I'm mentioning.
