I think this proposal for the File menu will make sense to users and will be considerably more intuitive to them than the current menu items for these functions. It would be helpful if the user was told during the import and export operations as to what to expect will happen, that is, what types of vcalendar objects will be imported or not and as what.
On a related point that the proposed wording of the menu items will remind many users of, an improvement to the menu (and to the Chandler suite) would be the addition of the import and export of Note/Journal items via .ics files. Also useful would be the import of Tasks from .ics files without having the created Chandler Tasks also stamped as Chandler Events (I think there's a bug for this). These types of refinements would lower the "hassle factor" for PIM-user adopters.
