Bug#431605: korganizer: events disappear



    The bug has manifested again!
    I'm attaching after.ics (which was added to KOrganizer, but hidden, preventing it from being altered manually) and before.ics (which was only added, as read-only, today to make sure there were events disappearing).
    A close look on date 2007-06-12 shows events dissapeared, but it happens on other days too. As stated, none of the files were altered manually, as I'm working with another default file under my home directory. Hope this will help!

Hey there. I've been an enormous fan of korganizer - it really helped me
get things organized and made. Compliments made, let me add that I rely a
lot on it daily for personal and professional use. That's why I've been so
surprised and sad to see that my events kept disappearing for no reason at
all, even using a Debian testing version (which shouldn't be unstable).
I haven't looked too much on the problem, but I do suspect the version I'm
using now erases events created on older versions which are still present
in the .ics file.
I'll be sending one of my backup .ics files as soon I can - every time I
open it, it shows all events, but on the first save, they're gone again
(which is a real problem when auto-save is on). Copying and pasting those
events dosen't seem to help, but creating a brand new event and then
copying+pasting the information across the old and new event do seem to
work.
    
Hi!

I have had a quick chat with some nice upstream people.

It would be really nice if we could get several pieces of interesting 
information.

Is it just a plain text file on your local harddrive? or do you use nfs? or 
some network kio slaves ? (nfs:// fish:// or ... )

Do you sync with other programs ? like kpilot, kmobiletools, 
kitchensync, ... ?

Is it possible that we could get a 'before' and 'after' file - in the same 
set.

The best bet currently is that there is some fancy corruption in your .ics 
file that korganizer handles less optimal.

But more information is much appreciated.
