I suspect, but am 100% not sure, that sending events to google calendar via the command-line tools is conceptually similar to exporting to ical and doing an import to some ical-style GUI calendar program. > What I am working on now is a python script to initialize some of the > info I have in my org files with info from google (including the google > UUID).

I think you're thinking the same problem I didn't articulate very well.... events in iCalendar/etc. systems (including google calendar) have a UUID, and those systems typically can accept an existing UUID on import org events have a UUID, at least after org-mobile-export, and it's "ID" in properties drawer. I'm not sure if these can be used as-is when exporting via iCalendar. someone might end up with the same event in both systems, but without matching UUIDs. In that case, there needs to be some way to merge events and remember both UUIDs so that future syncing keeps the events merged. > What I would like is to be able to shuffle my schedule in org as it is > often a more convenient interface for this than *any* calendar I have > used for the kinds of things I have to do.

Agreed; this is what I would like to do also. But I would like to also be able to change a time in [non-org scheduling program] or add an event (perhaps via a mailed iCalendar invitation) and have those flow into org. ical export seems to be present in org, but I found duplicated events after multiple exports. I need to find time to try it more and either fix it or construct a good bug report. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (NetBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk1FZ20ACgkQ+vesoDJhHiXHoACghkP+9cB4oltRy9+1lWdAme0s FB8AoIuSvVnUab8e8RyhMlScEkO/vtjf =E5Ov -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=-- --===============1269115747== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
