Re: [O] Porting Apple Calendars to org-mode

[Mohamed Wael Khobalatte]

See for instance https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/7vidfd/has_anyone_gotten_orgmacical_to_work/, which describes the same problem (although I *do* see some events, namely holidays, so I am closer to a solution).

Hi Ken, 

Thanks for your response. The file(s) you linked to usually assume a generated list of ics files no? My problem right now is that I do not want to generate those manually from my Mac (could be done of course, but this search is for something that does that). 

The one that comes close is org-mac-iCal, but again my problem with that one is that it does not work for all the calendars, even personal one that is not networked. Surprisingly, it works with the holidays calendar (sorry I said birthdays before, but it's the holidays one that comes by default). I do not know what's special about that one, but my guess is that perhaps the formats or locations have changed for the others, although that would be..surprising.

There are several tools named ical2org - different languages, implementations, and/or forks. I used to use one of them when I was on OS X and it worked well for me.

I'm not on OS X anymore but use something called "ical2orgpy" that downloads ICS files from Google and Outlook (and could from iCloud I think?) and converts them to read-only Org buffers. The top line is

-*- eval: (eval (progn (auto-revert-mode 1) (read-only-mode 1))); -*-

So they are read-only and Emacs updates them when the buffer gets changed on disk w/o any questions.

  -k.
