@Greg:
Org-mode UIDs are ignored if they are for entries with diary sexps, as
calendar.el creates its own ids for them. This may be the cause for
double entries when you export your org file & import the ical file
multiple times and you use diary sexps.
A while ago I submitted some patches, one to calendar.el and one to
org-icalendar.el, that - besides adding export of diary-float sexps -
fixed this (i.e. org-icalendar puts a UID text-property on the entry,
picked up by calendar.el when creating the ical entries).
The patches to calendar.el were applied, but I believe the one to
org-icalendar.el should still be applied. However, I believe Bastien has
had little time lately, or maybe he's forgotten or overseen that those
patches to Emacs have already been applied. I put Bastien in the CC of
this mail, just as a reminder.
See
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-02/msg00668.html if
you want to try out the UID patch to org-icalendar.el. Note that you
also need a recent development Emacs (from bazaar, later than april 27th
2011) to have the other patches applied as well.
@Ghanashyam:
Above story aside, no entry should be without UID, and I think a
non-unique UID is highly improbable. Did you
check inside the ical file to see whether the entries you talk about
were eported at all? If I create a simple test file, e.g.
#+begin_src org
* test
SCHEDULED: <2011-05-19 Thu 11:00>
#+end_src
... and call C-c C-e i this entry does not get exported, but this entry would:
#+begin_src org
* test2
<2011-05-19 Thu 12:00>
#+end_src
i.e., SCHEDULED entries aren't exported, while others are, but this does
not seem to have anything to do with UIDs.
Regards,
Niels.
