Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

We've been using iceowl for some time.  We have quite a few calendars
configured.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Saw iceowl-extension was available, installed it, started it.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

None of the calendars configured for iceowl was visible in iceowl-extension

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected that iceowl-extension would show the same list of calendars as
stand-alone iceowl, either sharing the config or, less interestingly, by
importing them at startup.

thanks
Iceowl and iceowl-extension don't share any configuration data. I agree
that at least a migration dialog would be nice though.

Could you take this up with upstream on bugzilla.mozilla.org since this
looks like a feature request and this would give you prompter feedback
without having me in the middle. Also see:

Hi.

You may also see #655703 which deals with that very same issue.

Hope this helps.

I hadn't seen that, thanks.  However, I consider it an iceowl issue
rather than an iceowl-extension issue since a user may want to switch to
some other stand alone calendar program rather than to
iceowl-extension.  In that case, he would need to export the iceowl
calendars to a standard format so that it could be imported to the other
program.
