This is probably not the best place to ask. But I would like to know how thunderbird parses icalendars. Is there is place I can see this file?

I am working on a project that uses [https://sabre.io/baikal/] Baikal

You can do a call that gets the icalendar properties but I am having trouble finding a library that can handle this. I have looked into two:

This is probably old but kind of works, however fails with malformed bad ics calendar properties link text

This one looks a little more complicated, and I think this is from some folks at thunderbird working the calendar from what I read. however fails with malformed bad ics calendar properties link text

What I do not get, is that the same ics for instance I am testing that is malformed, Thunderbird reads it like a champ and it is in my calendar. But when I try it in my own APP project, I can't get these front end libs to read it properly.

anyways, if anyone has some info on how the folks at thunderbird parse shared calendars I would love to read up on that lead.

Thanks! happy holidays!

In setting up a new phone, using BirdieSync to synchronize Thunderbird Calendar with the phone, Calendar ended up with duplicate events, but only those that had originally be setup using the "Repeat" button in the "New Event" window. (Ex. a class that meets the same time, same day, each week.)

I cannot find any way to locate and batch delete the duplicates. This seems like it should be basic functionality for a digital calendar. Is it really missing from Thunderbird or am I missing some obscurely located "Delete Duplicates" menu item?

Task: e.g. on startup, Cardbook checks upcoming anniversaries (e.g. birthdays) from Cardbook Calendars, and writes them to the selected calendar.

Expected: write anniversary to the correct day

Observed: all upcomimng anniversaries are written in the selected format (%n$S syntax, works nicely) to the correct calendar, but always ONE DAY TOO LATE. E.g., if birthday of Cardbook contact is displayed as "26-Feb-2024" in Cardbook, it writes "27-Feb-2024" to calendar (selected "whole day event", so it cannot(?) be b/o time zone problems?)

System: Windows 10. TB 115.5.2 (32-bit). Cardbook 92.1, Last Updated 11. Dezember 2023.

I support two family users of Thunderbird 115.2 who have both installed access to my Google calendar.

After providing access to that Google calendar on both PCs, the calendar is shown formatted by Thunderbird, that is without colors etc as formatted when accessing the calendar as a webpage via Mozzilla. A) On my machine, if I close my calendar page within Thunderbird, and option to access my google calendar appears at top line of T'bird screen. That leads me to a calendar page formatted similar to a webpage view of that calendar. I can. for example, insert and see color detail on a calendar entry. B) On the other PC - my wife's - that option does not appear and access to the Google calendar is shown with only Thunderbird formats - none of the color detail added on other interfaces such as my PC via T'bird calendar function, or simply web page access via Mozilla.

I'm puzzled about the difference between those installation - A and B. How can I get "B" to function like A ?

I suspect there may be a residue of earlier changes to synchronise T'bird and the Google calendar.

I have recently become a Thunderbird user (115.5.0), and have linked it to my gmail account for email, calendar and contacts (and tasks, but that does not seem to be working).

My calendar within Thunderbird shows a recurring daily event which does not appear in my Google Calendar. I'm not sure how to resolve this issue.

You can see on the attached image, on the right is my google calendar which Thunderbird is supposed to be syncing with, on the left is the Thunderbird calendar, which has all these extra recurring events.

Any thoughts on how to fix this would be gratefully received.

thanks in advance,

Keith

I posted a question to the help community but I don't know where to see if anyone responded. The question had to do with how to sync my Windows 11 Outlook calendar with my Thunderbird calendar.

Problem: I'm 76 years old and technically self-taught. I have 2 Windows 11 computers. One desktop and one laptop. Both are fully updated and utilizing Office software, specifically Outlook. Not too long ago I happily discovered Thunderbird and like it soooo much better. QUESTION: Within Outlook, my calendar is displayed as iCloud Calendar which is ok for me. The one thing that is keeping me from exclusively using Thunderbird is not being able to import my iCoud calendar into Thunderbird. Is that even possible and if so, how? Please keep your response as simplistic as possible. Thank you for your time and consideration given to my inquiry.
