[New App] RockCalendar

[salival]

Almost all popular calendar programs can handle the iCalendar (*.ics) format in one way or another.
The basic structure of such file is as follows:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
METHOD:PUBLISH
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:
DTSTAMP:20060310T000701
DTSTART:20060216T091500
DTEND:20060216T111500
SUMMARY:summary or subject
LOCATION:location
DESCRIPTION:description text
END:VEVENT
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:
DTSTAMP:20060310T000701
DTSTART:20060216T124500
DTEND:20060216T141500
SUMMARY:summary or subject
LOCATION:location
DESCRIPTION:description
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

Just copy this into a text editor and save it as a *.ics file.

By default outlook can only export one appointment at a time. To export multiple appointments take a look at this script

I have some issues using the onscreen keyboard in this app.

At least in my case, moving around is very buggy. Meaning the selection of letters is illogical. If you push up you expect to go to one of the letters above that one, not to three letters away. (ex: If I have the 'f' selected and push up, I expect to select the 'r' and not the 'e'.)
The same issue doesn't occur in rockword, although that keyboard isn't always logical in it's movement either.

forgot to add: I'm using the 1.06 exp. build

I too have experienced difficulty in entering text via the onscreen keyboard..I just installed Rockbox yesterday so I dont know if this is the desired/typical behavior. Would a grid style keyboard facilitate text entry?

aside from that, Love the plugin great job with it!!!

Hi,

sorry for posting this in an iriver forum. But I have no clue how contact the dev in another way.
My question is: Is the RockCalendar now supporting the X5 or not? The Flyspray page (http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4760) at least says so.
And when how must this plugin files (*.c) being compiled to work out as an *.rock file.
Or do u have to compile them into the whole rockbox, if then how? thx.
Edit: I compiled it and it works... but u I had to remove the if Section in apps/plugins/SOURCES to make it work. If not it compiles but says incompatible model.

Hi,

First of all, this plugin looks great and I'm looking forward to using it if possible.
Which brings me to my question, will this program (ever) be ported to the IPod nano, or is that impossible?

Well, considering this is an iriver forum....most likely not. If so, it will probably have to be done by crazy ipod people :-p

I know this is an iriver forum, and felt a little strange about asking this question here, but this thread seems to be a lot more active than the thread on the other forum mentioned in the flyspray page of the RockCalendar plugin.

Since the plugin page says that both the iPod 4G and the iPod Color are supported, I was wondering if there was any specific reason the page didn't mention the iPod nano (or if it just hasn't been ported yet). So I was hoping someone here could tell me more...

Thanks,
Bas (semi-crazed iPod person :P)

Any chance of a H10 5GB version? Many plugins aren't on it yet, so any chance?

EDIT: lol spam, anyone?

EDIT2: lol more spam?

I wonder if RockCalendar is still being maintained... I've been having problem compiling builds after 13592 (from 13724):
