trying to import calendar from my old computer, tried several methods, this one worked

I was attempting to import the calendar info from my old system to my new one, but the export/import of a .ics file did not work. It complained about information not being found. Then I tried copying the local.sqlite database file from my old system to the new one, that initially did not appear to work either :( Come to find out that the database cal_id fields did not match between my new system and the old one, so even though the local.sqlite file I copied had all of the calendar information, the prefs.js file on my new system was referring to a different cal_id. So I used a text editor to replace all of the cal_id's in the prefs.js file, with the cal_id found in the copied local.sqlite file, and now I have all of my calendar data available on my new system. You might want to make this know to your users, since my original searches on your support site did not present a solution that worked. :(
