[chandler-users] [possible bug] Problem with ICS file import

[Andre Mueninghoff]

Hi Jeffrey,

What bug would you suggest be filed, an index bug or a "successful" 
import of an illegal ical file bug, or both?

Thanks for the explanation. Now I know why after importing that ical 
file, Chandler created a collection with only one item in it even though 
there were three VEVENT records in it.
