rem2ics.pl can handle a directory full of .ics files. But if a specific event is referred to more than once, it will create 2 separate .rem file entries. When you receive a meeting update, you now have 2 separate .ics files referring to the same event? I didn't know that was even possible.
rem2ics.pl writes out REM statements as it encounters events. To handle the situation you are describing, it would have to build a structure in memory, using unique IDs, and then apply changes to existing events. Not impossible, but not something I need, so probably not something I'll spend any time on in the near future. The code is Open Source, so anyone is welcome to modify it and release the changes. senator galt wrote: > On Wed, Feb 13, 2008 at 6:46 PM, Justin Alcorn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> If you apply the meeting updates to your calendar, does it change the >> calendar entries? > yes. meeting updates change the calendar entries. > >> If it does, then ical2rem would work fine.
