[kdepim-users] Kalendar: how to continue to use *.ics files (4.4.11.1): possible workaround

Hi Stephan,

thanks for your suggestion. Exactly which version of Kalendar do you use?
I was aware of that selection and that was how I originally established my 
calendars (I just didn't remember which selection I picked then, but "ICal 
calender file" sounds very familiar).

However, now "ICal calender file" isn't available anymore, I only see the ten 
possible selections below (roughly translated back to English since I'm using 
the German locale):

Akonadi resource
birthday from address book
journal in a blog
GroupDAV (e.g. OpenGroupware)
Novell GroupWise address book
IMAP calendar via KMail
calendar in local directory
OpenXchange server
file calendar on a remote computer
SuSE Linux Openexchange address book

Since I didn't see what I was looking for (something like "ICal calender 
file"), I tried "calendar in local directory", and imported from my old ics 
files. That worked, but created one file for each individual event.

However, I seem to have found a possible workaround:
the selection "file calendar on a remote computer" behaves very similar to 
what I want. In the window that opens, I choose the same ics file in the 
"download from" and "upload to" fields, select "at startup" in the "automatic 
reload" radio button and "after each change" in the "automatic save" radio 
button. The behaviour seems to be the same as before the KDE update, only the 
colors of the calendars changed.

The question however remains, what caused Kalendar to forget my calendar ics- 
files, since I did not update Kalendar (not even a re-compile of the same 
version!).

Regards,

Stefan
