Git commit 2324098a8ffcf59d4e88c2c84ba2a288b8e9e783 by Glen Ditchfield, on behalf of Glen Ditchfield. Committed on 04/02/2021 at 16:07. Pushed by gditchfield into branch 'release/20.12'. Fix month view's display of end-of-day instances If a non-all-day instance extends to the end of a day, its dtEnd will be 00:00 of the next day. The month view incorrectly shows the instance occurring on both days.

[Bug 286567] Re: korganizer displays old appointments in UTC
OK, I did more reading (ruby is pretty cool). The Z substitution line can be changed to line = line.sub(/Z[\r$]/,'') and I think the script works as you intended. (The \r part is needed because korganizer seems to save its data in a DOS-style text file; I put the $ in there for safety.) However, it turns out that the concern I raised above about not converting the times is indeed a problem. Here's why: in scheduling, korganizer has already done the conversion to UTC when it saves an event in the format MMDDTHHMMSSZ. If we just strip the Z off the end without converting to local time, then all the times will be off by the UTC offset. So I poked around and came up with a solution. I've attached a script that seems to work for me. I had to install the tzinfo gem http://tzinfo.rubyforge.org/doc/files/README.html and I run this script with ruby -rubygems migrateics.rb One oddity: when I first start kontact, switching to the calendar component of kontact now takes much longer than it used to: 20 seconds! It used to take 4 seconds. One other issue: suppose the script bombs on certain std.ics files (it works on mine, but just suppose), so that it either deletes the data or converts it into something that crashes korganizer (which I've now done a lot recently). If the user runs the script twice, without copying the backup std.ics from $HOME back to .kde/share/apps/korganizer in between, then the user won't have any backup of his/her data. Would it be worth checking to make sure that the make a backup copy step doesn't overwrite an existing file? Once these last points are taken care of, I imagine this script might be ready for wider use. ** Attachment added: migrateics.rb http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18819861/migrateics.rb -- korganizer displays old appointments in UTC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286567 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Oh, it also turns out that it becomes much slower to scroll (i.e., when you hit the back and forward buttons), so much so that I will for now keep using my old UTC-based std.ics. Drat. Presumably this is something that could be optimized? Like I said earlier, I'm happy to mail you my calendar file if you want to use it to callgrind korganizer something.

[Bug 286567] Re: korganizer displays old appointments in UTC
There is no conversion going on.
The only changes that need to be done is attach ;TZID=#{timezone}: to
DSTART/DTEND and remove the trailing Z, in fact just removing the Z should b
enough to force KOrganizer to use the local time. It is however adding the
timezone from /etc/timezone to ensure it uses the correct one.
I attached yet a new try to resolve the issue, which should actually
work with ruby1.8 in Intrepid. It also features a more verbose output of
what is going on. If that doesn't work either you can write a script
yourself or (if you trust me enough ;-) send me the calendar file so I
don't have to be poking in the dark.

[Bug 286567] Re: korganizer displays old appointments in UTC
OK, thanks for the updated script! It runs to completion, and indeed
prints debugging info. The curious part is that the typical event looks
like this:

..LINESTARTSWITH DSTART GSUBBED: DTEND:20060428T163000Z
..TRANSP:OPAQUE
..END:VEVENT
So, oddly, the gsubbing doesn't seem to be doing anything: the gsubbed
version is the same as the original.
Ah, but wait! I made a stab in the dark and replaced the two gsub lines with
line = line.gsub(Z,)
line = line.gsub(#{replace}:,#{replace};TZID=#{timezone}:)
i.e., inserted the line = part in front. This seems to work properly, with
one funny exception: any line that already had a TZID (e.g., appointments
I've made since upgrading and working this issue out) got replaced with a TID
because of the gsubbing Z to a . So, is there a way of insuring that the
match to Z occurs only at the end of the line?
I'm happy to send you the calendar file off-line, if you wish. You can
email me directly, my last name followed by wustl and then a dot and
then edu (parse that, spammers!)

[Bug 286567] Re: korganizer displays old appointments in UTC
Well, it does cause a bug: evening appointments made here in the America/Chicago timezone end up being displayed on two consecutive days. (See attached screenshot; Monday's Soccer and Juniors should _not_ be replicated on Tuesday.) Aside from dozens of recurring items, I also have non-recurring events scheduled as far as 2 years in advance. It must be hundreds of items. That does mean that this bug will be with me for years to come. Any chance of a conversion script?

Thanks for the script! That's incredibly generous of you to provide this ---to people like me who don't tend to make appointments in many different timezones, this will save a lot of manual work.

[Bug 286567] Re: korganizer displays old appointments in UTC
Oh, and on the display issue is actually a different one, I agree this observation does add some new elements---and I suspect you've already diagnosed the problem better than I. However, at the risk of being unnecessarily explicit: note that those evening appointments span 2 days as measured by UTC (6pm-7:30pm America/Chicago is 2300-0030 UTC). So it seems that the decision about which days to display the event on is being made before the conversion to the local timezone. So this new bug should be fixed by doing the timezone conversion first, I'd guess. That said, I bet the double-display bug won't be triggered nearly as often if the std.ics file is converted to use local timezones first. So your script (once it works more broadly) should resolve this problem for many people, even if there's a second problem that also needs to be addressed. Should I open a separate bug report for the double-display problem? On scripts: also note http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/OlsonConvert.

So I changed line 54 from end to end if line and now it runs without error. But, it turns out that it never executes the loop: it seems that line never contains valid input. I tried changing the split character from \n to : or a space and still never had the loop execute (as determined by putting a 'print Looping\n' line as the first element of the loop). However, str is not empty; a print str reveals the entire ics file. Anyhow the extras package is only necessary for the backup task. gsub! as well as everything else (besides the copy operation obviously ;-) is part of the core ruby modules, so I don't see how that could be the problem. ** Attachment added: migrateics.rb http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18773605/migrateics.rb -- korganizer displays old appointments in UTC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286567 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 286567] Re: korganizer displays old appointments in UTC
New try. In theory line can never be nil, it can be an empty string (i.e. ) but never nil (which would be nothing at all). I add a control strucutre to prevent an execution of gsub on line, when line is nil. I am not too sure if this works though, in order to evaluate the variable the variable mustn't be nil (in theory again ;-) Anyway, please give it a try. ** Attachment added: migrateics.rb http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18781322/migrateics.rb -- korganizer displays old appointments in UTC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286567 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdepim in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 286567] Re: korganizer displays old appointments in UTC
Definite progress, in that it processes the entire file. The lines it changes
(because they start with DTSTART or DTEND), however, come out blank, rather
than containing data. This causes korganizer to crash on startup.
As I try to understand more ruby, it looks to me like your script just
prepends my timezone but does not actually convert the time to my timezone.
Won't that introduce a problem? I.e., the time will no longer be the
equivalent of the UTC? Or does Z mean the local timezone?
I'm beginning to wonder if the more straightforward approach would be to look
for regexps of the form [0-9]\{8\}T[0-9]\{6\}Z (8 digits followed by T
followed by 6 digits followed by Z) and parse the string to convert the time.
If this is something that you are interested in seeing done, I'd be delighted
to keep working with you on this; if you're growing tired of this and don't
think others will get much benefit out of it, I might try to code something up
in matlab (a language I am fluent in) for my own purposes only.

[Bug 286567] [NEW] korganizer displays old appointments in UTC
Public bug reported: I just upgraded to intrepid beta. All of the appointments display correctly in the calendar view, but if I click on an event, the more detailed view shows the event in UTC. Similarly, double-clicking the event so that I can edit it also displays all times in UTC. However, entering a new event causes it to display in my own timezone in all views. dpkg -l korganizer output: ii korganizer4:4.1.2-0ubuntu1 KDE personal organizer ** Affects: kdepim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- korganizer displays old appointments in UTC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286567 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdepim in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 286567] Re: korganizer displays old appointments in UTC
The problem is that KDE 3 didn't store the timezone along the time, so KDE 4 apparently assumes it is UTC and does the default operations for not-locale times, it translates them into your locale one. However, the entry in the calendar file itself is not changed, and the general assumption seems to be that editing an entry should by default use the entries time in a non localized manner (or maybe that just applies to such entries without time zone definition). Anyway, I am not sure this actually should be changed/can be changed in a sensible way. There probably are cases where you want to keep a UTC using file. KOrganizer can't determine if the file is applying to that use case, of it is just a KDE 3 one. So my point of view is that as long as the event shows correctly in the calendar view this issue is only of very minor importance, recurring ones, which would be most affected I guess, would only need to be canged once anyway. ** Changed in: kdepim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low Status: New = Confirmed -- korganizer displays old appointments in UTC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286567 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
