           Summary: Korganizer does not respect iCal standard for multiple
                    CATEGORIES
           Product: korganizer
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde at dicosmo.org


Version:           3.5.9 (using KDE 3.5.9)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

As per http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2445#page-78, the correct way to represent
multiple categories in an iCal file is to have just one
CATEGORIES filed, containing possibly multiple entries spearated by a comma.

Korganizer incorrectly creates one CATEGORIES field for each category, which
makes the resulting iCal file non standard, with lots of problems of
interoperability with other tools.

The easy fix is to change ONLY the output routines for iCal files, to make sure
they produce only one CATEGORIES line with all the categories separated by one
comma (this should be just a few lines of changes, but I have unfortunately not
the time to set up a full KDE build environment to play with this).

I tested that the input routines are able to read proper iCal files with
multiple categories in one line, as well as incorrect ones with multiple
CATEGORIES entries,
so there is no need to change them.
