           Summary: korganizer doesn't watch ics calendar files - doesn't
                    reflect changes
           Product: korganizer
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: import/export
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: s_dibbern at web.de


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.4) 
OS:                Linux

I try to share calendars between different boxes. So I have a couple of ics
calendars which I encrypt and export to a ftp server on KDE shutdown via
scripts in ~/.kde4/shutdown.

In .kde4/Autostart I have scripts which download and decrypt the calendar files
on KDE start, and move the decrypted ics files into the expected place.

Apparently, then it's already too late for Akonadi. On KOrganizer start, I
always see the calendars as it was when I last time left that box.

This happens independently from the import mode (whether I have the ics files
imported as "ics calendar files" or as a "standard KDE resource/calendar file
on remote server", even if I enable the "watch file" option).

The "reload automatically after" option is not an option because 1) it takes a
lot of CPU to import a bigger calendar file and 2) the respective file's
contents are no longer visible - the visibility mark gets removed while
reimporting the file (but that is probably worth another bug report)

F5 doesn't help neither.

If you don't spot this problem, you could easily overwrite the file with the
actual Akonadi contents, fx. at shut down, and lose data.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create an ics resource or kde standard / remote file resource
modify it after KDE has started

Actual Results:  
no changes in KOrganizer

Expected Results:  
reflection of the changes, at least if "watch file" is enabled

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34.10-0.6-default
Compiler: gcc
