           Summary: kontact does not handle .ics files
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: calendar
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: matt eisgr com


Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu13)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.20-13-generic

If I use KOrganizer, downloading .ics files from the Internet allows my to automatically import them using "korganizer file.ics"  (eg. from Firefox, since some airline websites don't always like konqueror).

However, since I'm using Kontact, this functionality does not work.  If I open the .ics file with Kontact, absolutely nothing happens.  If I open them with KOrganizer (since Firefox offers to do that automatically) Kontact comes to the foreground, but nothing appears.

I have to save the file, import it as a calendar file, and when I choose "Merge" with existing calendar, it doesn't save.
