Change Lightning refresh calendar interval

[Autumn]

Hello.

I'm new to Lightning. I imported a calendar from an ics file and it
synchronizes well when I make changes, but it also auto-refreshes on its
own every 20 minutes or so. I would like to change this interval so that
it doesn't do it that often because I don't make changes to my calendar
all day. I would like it to refresh at least every day.

If this is not possible I'd rather have the auto-refresh feature
disabled and only synchronize it when I click on the button and at startup.

Thanks

Open the calendar tab. Right-click the calendar in the left pane -
Properties.
Set the desired update interval. I don't think once a day is possible
though, but you can chose 'Manually'.

I'd already replied to this message but it didn't seem to get through.

When I right click and select calendar properties I don't see any option
to set update interval, only name, color, location and email.

OK, I just found out why there wasn't even an option to change the

created a new calendar and moved everything there and I can now see the
option.
I selected "Manually" and I expected a prompt or something asking me for
a time interval but nothing appeared. What did I miss?

The Home calendar is local only, so nothing to sync.

So it must be a google or other online calendar?

The fact that 'Manually' means just that... it will only Sync/Refresh
when you tell it to.

If you want to set a refresh interval other than the two times provided,
you'll have to do that in about:config...

Filter on 'calendar.reg' (minus the quotes)

Find your calendar's name, then change the
calendar.registry.CalendarI-ID.refreshInterval' item to the interval (in
seconds) you want it to refresh.

Yes, a google calendar (read only)

I see, I was misunderstanding the meaning of the option

If "Manually" doesn't work well for my needs, I might go that route.
Thanks for the info!
