how to add a LOCATION in the exported iCal

how to add a LOCATION in the exported iCal

[Leo]

Hi there,

I start to export org to icalendar and then to google calendar. I wonder
what's the best way to include the LOCATION.

Thanks,

What do you exactly mean by "include the LOCATION"?

I mean "in the exported .ics file".

This looks like what I want.

However, in order to insert the LOCATION property, I need to first run
org-insert-property-drawer and then `C-c C-c s' ...

Is there a better way of setting LOCATION?

The :LOCATION: property is exported as the LOCATION parameter in .ics
since Org 5.11.  It complies normally with the RFC specs:

  http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt

You can bind `org-set-property' to a key, it can be called without
first creating the drawer.

I guess I should think up a default binding.

Another good way to set LOCATION is column view.

Well, no.

But property drawers are designed for this kind of additionnal
information, aren't they?  You might also think of the SUMMARY 
and DESCRIPTION props, which are set the same way.  It is more 
consistent to keep all this in the same place.
