[O] icalendar-import-file into org
Hi! I'd like to have an external calendar file displayed in org and was very glad to find a hint in the manual. The name of the external calendar file is office.ics. So I wrote into my .emacs-file: (icalendar-import-file office.ics Diary) (setq org-agenda-include-diary t) As you can imagine, that caused an import of office.ics _every_ time I started Emacs. So I ended with a huge calendar file full of (no, not stars)[1] repetitions of office.ics. The trouble obviously is the import into Diary. If I could write (setq org-agenda-include office.ics t) -- but as I'm not a programmer, I do not know how to do that. If someone had a helping hand, I'd be glad, Regards, Alexander [1] My God—it's full of stars! -- do you remember ?

You can import the ics file into some temporary diary and delete the temporary diary upon exit from emacs: --8---cut here---start-8--- (setq tmp-diary (make-temp-file diary)) (icalendar-import-file /path/to/office.ics tmp-diary) ;; make it the default... (setq diary-file tmp-diary) ;; so that org-agenda can find it (setq org-agenda-include-diary t) ;; delete the tmp diary on exit (add-to-list 'kill-emacs-hook (function (lambda () (delete-file tmp-diary --8---cut here---end---8--- That assumes that you don't have any other diary files that you are interested in including. If you do, the basic idea will still work but will require more fiddling. Untested. -- Nick

I realised that I've got a bug in one of my .emacs- files, but I have to dig where: in Windows or Linux. However, both installations of Emacs should format the date exactly the same way. I will report when back on the surface, Regards, Alexander
