@Charles I don't know if that "idiom is commonplace" but at least the patch pilot calendar [1] as such events and the google UI/evolution/gnome-calendar correctly list them as day event
I've exported the ICS and events have that format "BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160118 DTSTAMP:20160112T165350Z ... CREATED:20151211T075059Z DESCRIPTION:Pilot <name> SUMMARY:Pilot <name> ... END:VEVENT" AS you can see there is only a DTSTART, http://www.kanzaki.com/docs/ical/vevent.html states "For cases where a "VEVENT" calendar component specifies a "DTSTART" property with a DATE data type but no "DTEND" property, the events non- inclusive end is the end of the calendar date specified by the "DTSTART" property" So to reply to your questions a) The missing DTEND is a valid case and the code doesn't handle it well b) other systems honor it [1] https://calendar.google.com/calendar/[email protected]&gsessionid=OK -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1261191 Title: indicator-datetime list evolution calendar all day event a day before actual date of event To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-datetime/+bug/1261191/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
