I noticed a number of new items in the File Menu. Here's a proposed re-ordering / re-grouping.

Import Tasks and Events...
Export Tasks and Events...

I think having the ics or icalendar or iCal notation in the above menu items might help users understand what format the export and import deals with. Especially for people looking for ics compatibility. To tell you about my experience when I first experimented with Google calendar, one of the first things I wanted to try was import my ics calendar into Google. Even though the link says "Import Calendar" as soon as you are on that screen, it says "Choose the file that contains your events. Google Calendar can import event information in iCal or CSV (MS Outlook) format." I knew I was in the right place. Just saying "Import/Export Tasks and Events.." might confuse the users since the subsequent dialog doesn't explain what format it takes.
