Re: [Evolution] Query Evolution's Calendar Data storage location

There's a whole API for accessing Evolution data - you need to look for
info on "evolution-data-server" - for 3.16 you'll find info here

  https://developer.gnome.org/eds/3.16/

To be honest this sort of question is probably more suited for the
Evolution-hackers list.

"3.x" is not a narrow enough specification. There were lots of changes
within 3.x, including API and data storage locations.

Not if the source is remote.  Using EDS has the advantage that it is
source agnostic.

Not only can you use the EDS API directly, but EDS is a DBUS client, so
you should be able to get calendar information that way as well. That
is after all how the Gnome calendar app gets its data.

But that is a problem - you will need to tailor things to a specific
version: Evolution evolves all the time with the storage locations and
APIs changing significantly.

[Evolution] Query Evolution's Calendar Data storage location

[Tom]

Hi all on the list,

I need any method to query Evolution data.

I assume that using the Evolution 3.x series, I happen to find the
calendar data in ~/.local/share/evolution/calendar/system ?
Is the calendar.ics file all that's containing data ?
Should I be able to find and filter calendar data there ?

Is here anyone aware of a method to query the calendar data for some
kind of result to 'select all entries where category=studienkreis' or
'select all entries where summary contains / is like "thisname"' ?

It needs to be run on more than 1 PC, so please don't ask for Evolution
version, there are many from 3.2 to 3.actual I guess.

Best,
--

I find that sometimes it takes a while for ALL entries in the EWS
calendar to eventually show up in a newly configured calendar - no
matter how many refreshes I do.  (A while = a couple of days.)  I don't
know if that is an Evolution or Exchange issue.  Once everything is
there, new entries appear quickly.

Evolution debugging info is at 

  https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Debugging

The specific debug variable to use for EWS is "EWS_DEBUG=1"
