Hi Folks,
Thanks for all the work. I'm still hammering away with RFox on Seamonkey,
ReminderFox [2.1.6] <'20171121_1851'>
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
SeaMonkey/2.46 (en-US)
Günter, you might remember some of the problems I've had with my
reminders disappearing on a whim and you mentioned the large size of my
hoarder's version ics file might be a factor.
Since I'm still having the occasional issue, such as an alarm pop-up
repeatedly coming back after I dismiss it, I've gone through and done a
lot of pruning, especially a couple of repeaters, and checked the result
by making a backup and validating here:
https://icalendar.org/validator.html
Mostly, it found problems with too-long lines, > 75 characters, I
believe, and I found reminders with a large description or copy/paste
into notes, which I would occasionally do.
This is what the validator referenced:
https://icalendar.org/iCalendar-RFC-5545/3-1-content-lines.html
That is no longer the problem with this validator as I removed those
events but I wonder if it is related.
The final error reported was "Lines not delimited by CRLF sequence" and
it started with the first line in the ics file. It looks like my
exported backup files use the Unix delimiter, so I did
[rolf@z68x rfox]$ unix2dos -n reminderfox_2017-12-24_1215.ics
reminderfox_2017-12-24_1215_unix2dos-CRLF.ics
That output file is just fine at
https://icalendar.org/validator.html
With the goal of a smooth experience, I wonder is this a concern. Does
the calendar internally use the accepted DOS system? Should I load this
converted file now or if I need a backup or will the Unix-formatted
backups exported by ReminderFox work without issue, in case I need to
recover the calendar?
Thanks,
Rolf
