Hi

I recently upgraded my Thunderbird client to v102. The calendar export options have changed and when reviewing the Release Notes Release Notes I note in the "Changed" - Support for importing and exporting calendars from Outlook CSV format was removed

This has significantly impacted my usage. This is where my timesheets are created / stored. This format is excellent for further analysis and billing. To use html or ics is very limiting and problematic for such purposes.

From what I have found online, all ics to csv convertible tools are a extremely poor substitute

Can this be reversed or can someone suggest an add-on to remedy this situation ?

Thanks

Earlier development team discussion (release 90/91) asked for use cases for ics to cvs conversion. Scarletpimpernel in above post offers some excellent examples. CSV format is also useful for tax prep (where worked for multiple state tax filing, deductibles (medical), etc). Would it make the conversion function more achievable if we limited the data elements to be converted. Limiting the data elements would likely make the csv file less useful for import into other calendar systems. On the other hand it could achieve the data analysis use cases. As an example (others may offer suggestions), data elements to include: - Event title - Start date - Start time - End date - End time - Location
