I do not do a two-way sync. I organize my files into a directory
~/.reminders/
Within that directory, I have four files that I only ever edit by
hand or with TkRemind, and I sync those TO Radicale using rem2dav. The
files are:
062-holidays.rem - Statutory holidays
061-jewish-holidays.rem - Jewish holidays
100-tkremind.rem - Reminders I create with TkRemind
101-birthdays.rem - Birthdays of friends and family
They go into four separate calenders in Radicale. I sync the holidays
and birthdays once a day, and 100-tkremind.rem once an hour.
The other way around, I have a main calinder in Radicale; I sync that
to ~/.reminders/060-radicale.inc which gets included by hand. I don't
use dav2rem for that because I have an older Perl script I wrote and
didn't really feel a need to change. But you should probably use
dav2rem.

I keep my reminder files in a directory and that makes it easy to sync
some but not all reminders. I do have some conditional stuff in there
depending on whether I'm running under TkRemind. For example, this
is my 060-radicale.rem file; it colors the Radicale "main calender" reminders,
but only if I'm in TkRemind or producing a calendar on the terminal:
IF in_tkremind_window || (stdout() == "TTY")
SET $DefaultColor "0 192 0"
ENDIF
DO 060-radicale.inc
IF in_tkremind_window || (stdout() == "TTY")
SET $DefaultColor "-1 -1 -1"
ENDIF
And if you're wondering where in_tkremind_window gets set, it looks
like this:
if defined("tkremind") && !defined("tkprint")
set in_tkremind_window 1
else
set in_tkremind_window 0
endif
TkRemind itself sets tkremind on the command-line when it invokes remind.

Dianne.
