Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
When a Web site communicates a calendar object (meeting, etc.) it offers to
download a .ics file.
Currently, the only way to insert that object into Evolution is to (1) Save the
.ics file to disk (2) In Evolution/Calendar, choose Import, select the
just-saved .ics file, import, select a calendar.
Most Browsers allow to associate a CLI line with a MIME type or file
extension. Currently, associating a .ics file to Evolution gives no
result (the file is downloaded, Evolution doesn't record anything.) To
reproduce, craft a local Web page offering to download an ICS file, and
try to import it into Evolution from the browser.
This is unnecessarily complex.
I would suggest additional parameters to the evolution command-line
syntax, e.g., "evolution --cal-import $filename --into <calendar>name>",
with it defaulting to "local" calendar if --into is niot specified.
This could be then encapsulated in a script to be used exactly as
desired.
This problem shows in Evolution 2.28.3 running on Ubuntu 10.04, and most
probably all previous releases. the same behavior and request have
already generated launchpad entries -- but apparently mistakenly
assigned to Firefox and closed since.
