However, what I was trying to have (in a long-term point of view) is a full synchronization system: from an iCalendar file to planner and back again! And I'm not seeing Muse as the proper tool to deal with such a system... But I'm ok with Muse being able to publish each planner data type (i.e., task, note or schedule entry) into the appropriate VCALENDAR node. I could even like Muse to publish the full iCalendar, if there were a separate merge tool between two iCalendar's. But I think it would be easier to do the merge with the planner data, instead of doing it with a couple of text files. Note that this wouldn't be the only synch-system we (planner users) would need. I'd like to sync my Symbian SonyEricsson's PIM with planner+bbdb+gnus, one day, for instance! There's also Yahoo! calendar+etc., Google calendar, etc, etc... This leads me to one question: is a synchronizing framework needed for Emacs? :) No matter what the final approach is, I'm now pretty happy with my exporter (it lacks notes exporting, I haven't got the need to do that, so far). My next goal now would be to import an ical into a temp diary file, and use calendar and my modified version of weekly-view to display the entries. From there, I'd like to have a link/keyboard shortcut to import that (possibly cyclic) diary entry into my planner. Do you have any suggestions to improve this behavior? -- Edgar Gonçalves Software Engineering Group @ INESC-ID IST/Technical University of Lisbon Rua Alves Redol, 9, Room 635 1000-029 Lisboa, Portugal mailto:edgar[DOT]goncalves[AT]inesc[DASH]id[DOT]pt http://www.esw.inesc-id.pt/~eemg
