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

How did you produce these timestamps? Org-mode always includes a day of
week when it generates a timestamp. E.g., if I adjust the timestamp with
shift-up or shift-right, org-mode automatically fixes it to:
* <2015-08-11 Tue 12:00> Simple event, default duration
> - All subjects have got the timestamp in the subject
That said, even with the correct timestamp syntax, I can confirm that
org-icalendar-export-to-ics leaves the timestamp in the
headline/summary. However, placing the timestamp beneath the headline
works fine:
* Simple event, default duration
<2015-08-11 Tue 12:00>
...results in...
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

I believe this syntax for duration is incorrect. It does not even work
with org-mode's agenda. E.g., the agenda line looks like this:
inbox: 12:00...... <2015-08-12 >-<2015-08-12 12:59> Event with specified duration
The correct syntax for duration is...
<2015-08-12 Wed 12:00-12:59>
When I use that, the duration exports correctly to ics. See
http://orgmode.org/manual/Timestamps.html for more details.
Hope this helps.
Matt

I have made the timestamp by hand and I propably found that it didn't
change anything, so it was faster not including the day of week.

We still have the timestamp but just moved to DESCRIPTION.
I would normally like to get it completely removed.
Maybe I should make an option for removing active timestamps in the header
or postprocess the ics file for my special usage.

Great - Much easer to read.
