Duplicate Events Bug Fix?

[Aaron Wolfson]

Hello,

As a recent purchaser of iCal import, I have run into the duplicate events import bug as discussed in this thread:

Does it just re-import all events every time instead of updating previously imported events?

This, yes, is unfortunately what happens at present if you try to import a file or feed that has already-imported events. Some people are working around this for now by just manually importing things, but otherwise this is a known bug and we are working hard on fixing it.

Can you provide more information about when this will be fixed? This is showstopper bug, in my opinion: the whole reason I purchased this plugin was so that I could import events automatically, so the fact that the workaround requires me to import events manually means that I can’t get any value out of the product as-is.

Has there been a fix since that thread was posted, or at least a more acceptable workaround?

I’m also keen to have this resolved asap and in fact other iCal importer issues discussed elsewhere… I really love the plugins and in particular the great support but these are significant issues that do need addressing asap here.
Thanks,
Chris
