Hi
I use org-mode for exporting to ical files, but the "new" exporter in
org-mode v. 8 gives me problems.

I have used Org-mode version 7.9.3f (release_7.9.3f-17-g7524ef @
/usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/). In that version the export of the .org
file listed below works fine.

Using Org-mode version 8.2.10 I have seen those issues:
- All subjects have got the timestamp in the subject
- Duration is the default duration even for even for events with a
time-interval
   - Events with time-interval is show double
 This is a minor issue if I can specify duration in another way
- Location is missing
- UID format changed from starting with "UID: TS-" to "UID:TS<number>-"
  - Not an issue, if I remove old events before next export.

Should I format the org-file in another way? - I can't find any examples.

I would like to upgrade to the new org-mode for exporting calendar entries
to get rid of the old org-mode and because there are needed some work
arounds using the old exporter.

I normally uses it for importing into various google calenders. ... maybe I
should do it in another way.

Br,
Benny
