Quickly copy iCal event information into other files
Authored by: Lutin on Mar 19, '07 01:23:48AM

With iCal 2.0.5, I can't make it work with multiple events. How do you proceed?

Quickly copy iCal event information into other files
Authored by: Bedhead on Mar 19, '07 05:51:28AM

The process is a little convoluted... here's what I do:

I make sure only the calendar I want to copy is checked in the Calendars pane at the left.
I click on the List button (3rd from the right at the bottom right of the main window). This brings up a list of all events in the calendar.
I select one or more events, Copy, and voilĂ : one or more events have been copied to the clipboard.

One caveat with this is that sometimes the events run together; that is, the summary of one event will appear immediately after the description of the previous event.

Also, for some strange reason events do not copy in the same order as they are listed in iCal.

Other than that, this is my #1 method of tallying hours for my clients -- until I master an AppleScript that will do this for me. :)
