Re: [O] Org Mode Calendar UID Mismatch.
Hi Niels, I had faced this issue quite a couple of weeks back and I kept on trying to export the calendar the whole day doing adjustments to the UID format, and I could get the UID format to have only 7 to 8 characters. I was suprised to see long UIDs being generated today with like SC-7ea97bae-a785-4455-8af7-6688cb8f7170 and looks like these are unique. I had never checked the export after that whole day of struggle. May be following a restart the changes might have taken place. This sounds so silly now. I apologize for wasting your time and effort. I am really sorry about this. -- regards Shyam On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 12:12 PM, Niels Giesen wrote: > Ghanashyam writes: > > > [...] > > > > > > > > > I check the ics file and I can perfectly see that the UIDs were > > replicated.(exactly same).

Could you please provide a minimal example of an org file + provide info on your system setup (os, emacs version, org version, relevant org-icalendar-* vars) so that we might be able to reproduce this?

Also all my events were scheduled but there is one parameter which said, SCHEDULED or unSCHEDULED, you export events. Its not about being exported or missing in export. The problem is the ics file has all the entries but multiple entries have the same UID which is my issue. -- regards Shyam > > -- > http://pft.github.com/ >

This may be the cause for double entries when you export your org file & import the ical file multiple times and you use diary sexps. A while ago I submitted some patches, one to calendar.el and one to org-icalendar.el, that - besides adding export of diary-float sexps - fixed this (i.e. org-icalendar puts a UID text-property on the entry, picked up by calendar.el when creating the ical entries). The patches to calendar.el were applied, but I believe the one to org-icalendar.el should still be applied. However, I believe Bastien has had little time lately, or maybe he's forgotten or overseen that those patches to Emacs have already been applied. I put Bastien in the CC of this mail, just as a reminder. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-02/msg00668.html if you want to try out the UID patch to org-icalendar.el. Note that you also need a recent development Emacs (from bazaar, later than april 27th 2011) to have the other patches applied as well. @Ghanashyam: Above story aside, no entry should be without UID, and I think a non-unique UID is highly improbable. Did you check inside the ical file to see whether the entries you talk about were eported at all? If I create a simple test file, e.g. #+begin_src org * test SCHEDULED: <2011-05-19 Thu 11:00> #+end_src ... and call C-c C-e i this entry does not get exported, but this entry would: #+begin_src org * test2 <2011-05-19 Thu 12:00> #+end_src i.e., SCHEDULED entries aren't exported, while others are, but this does not seem to have anything to do with UIDs.

I find that after importing into Apple iCal (mac 10.6), and doing another import, I end up with two events. pgpBre3IncDeh.pgp Description: PGP signature
