Re: How to "merge" two calendars into one aimed at syncing with Google calendar.

Hello Anders and Everybody else,

In December 2011, I have I started this thread. In the mean time,  I have had 
two system updates. Now, I working with KDE 4.8.2. along with Kubuntu 11.10. 
I do manage now to sync with the google calendar and address book via Akonadi 
Googledata. However, I still do not manage to "merge" a local calendar with 
the one of google. 

Below, I indicate what I have been doing so far in this context.

I have done so.

I have done so.

I have done so.

This is one of the methods I have tried - via a backup file from the local 
calendar - it does not work so far. 

Two other methods also did not work so far.

When importing an .ics file directly into Google, only the events get through: 
not the tasks.

A third method I have fruitlessly tried:
Kontact > Calendar > File > Import > Import calendar.  Then, I come into 
wizard in which I should need to point at the calendar in which the data have 
to be imported. However, "akonadi_gcal_resource_0" is not being shown in this 
wizard, which only shows local calendar.  Even after deleting the local 
calendar and setting "akonadi_gcal_resource_0"  as default calendar, I get 
stuck at this point. 

A fourth method consists of  clicking at the local calendar file via Dolphin. 
By doing so, I do end up in Kontact. But I get stuck in the same wizard. 

Any suggestions, thoughts?

Thanks, respectfully yours,
Bas Roufs.
