@Rags I do not know what the export option format looks like. just use the public url in this
curl -sL url > somefile.icsthn examine the somefile.ics
it is just a text file
that is the format required
-
@Rags that url string might need to treat special chars differently (escape them, or use the hex equivalent). I would rename it using simple text

@Rags sorry to ask a maybe stupid question: but how do I export the birthday calendar from my Google calendars?
The key here is, that the birthday calendar it not a “normal” calendar with an ics file, so when looking into the calendar options, it doesn’t offer an export option (while it does for all my normal calendars).
Thx, Chris

Update: found it how to export also the birthday calendar (this only works by exporting ALL your calendars at once, but not on the birthday calendar itself).
And anyhow - that didn’t solve my issue - because the exported birthday calendar has each of the birthdays as 3 single events (birthday from last, current and next year), but it’s not a yearly event-series. So using this exported file once wouldn’t help much on my MM - after 2 years all the birthdary events would be gone again.
I will use a workaround now: I will create a separate calendar, where I enter all the birthdays manually (as yearly events). This calendar will then have a public address, and I can include it as separate calendar in MM.
