Hi all,

I've just discovered googlecl and it's a great project, thanks to the developers for it.

I've a problem with the calendar, when I issue:

$ google calendar add --date='2014-04-25T16:00:00' --reminder='1h' --cal='Talks and alike' --user=xxx --note="Test Descr" "Test Event"

it actually sets the time to 17:00 without any time zone. The calendar has London as default time zone and my computer has BST has time zone.
Apart from that, is there any way to specify which time zone I mean? As an expat living in two different countries, this would be very useful to me.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Marco.

I don't think this option exists. But if it does, time zone should be
specified for
starting *and* ending time, possibly different (as you travel, you
know what I mean).

2 + 2 = 5, for very large values of 2.

Thanks Bruno. That raises another question: how do I specify the end time or the event duration?

Does it work (from http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/Manual#Calendar)
add "Meeting with Megi on 29 December from 8am till 2pm"

I never tested it. But if timezone is used, it should be on both sides.
Example:
add "Travelling with Megi from 29 December 23:00 TMZ1 till 28 Dec 2:00 TMZ2"

It becomes complicated.

Thanks again, I see that start/end can be sent to --time, separating them with comma. I really wish I could set the time zone too.

Cheers,
M.
