When trying to import an event from an ICS file that uses RDATE to define multiple occurrences of that event, only the "first" event is shown in Kronolith. That is, the later dates where the event is to reoccur are silently dropped upon import. It seems that Kronolith does not support recurring events that do not follow a regular scheme (e.g. weekly or bi-weekly, defined via RRULE in an ICS file). Is that observation correct? I couldn't find a way to create such events (non-RRULE reoccuring events) in the GUI, so it might be obvious that Kronolith does not support this, but then I also might be missing something. Thinking about this, I came to the conclusion that it would probably be possible to simulate reoccurring events that to not follow a clear repetition rule just by using the means that Kronolith provides already. This could be done e.g. by having a daily reoccurence and lots of exceptions to that, but that would be rather ugly, IMHO. On a side note, I noticed that when IMP displays an email with an invitation to a recurring (RRULE) event, there is a printf placeholder "%x" in the event preview that is not filled. See the attached image for an example. Is this a known bug or should I report this to the bug tracker?
