I contributed to the
Chandler migration testing
we were doing today and ran across a happy surprise.
The idea of the exercise was to migrate data from
Chandler 0.6alpha4 to the
latest checkpoint build.
In the course of this, I exported my calendars both as .ics files and via sharing on the server.
When I loaded up the latest chandler, I first connected to the server and made sure I could see all my calendars,
which I could, and then I imported one of the .ics files.
Lo and behold, it noticed that I already had the same items from the server and merged the items as they were read in.
I ended up not with two copies of every item, but instead, each item was referenced by two calendars.
(I had renamed the calendar before importing the .ics file to see if it would create a collection with the same name - and it did).
I was quite pleased at this bit of smarts, as you can tell!
