Committed to HEAD.  I don't think we can implement "overwrite previous 
import only" since we don't track imported items separately.

Yes, that's what I was thinking of at first (coming from 
webcalendar.sf.net, which does this).

But it's much harder since you have to track the eventid, and to solve 
potential conflicts.

Your patch would do fine for me, but of course if you feel like 
implementing the whole "overwrite previous import" thing, I'd be more 
than happy.

Did you want an import-overwrite to only remove previously imported 
items, but leave manually entered items?

I confirm that this patch works as expected.

It is not quite what I thought of, since events added only in 
kronolith are erased before importing, but it is already a great 
improvement.

Could this patch be included for the next release ?

Option to purge calendars on import, similar to Turba purge code.

I'd like to ask for a checkbox in the import/export page to make 
imported events overwrite previously imported events. Here's why: I 
maintain my calendar in my desktop application, and I upload it from 
time to time to my company's horde installation. I could import my 
ICalendar file into horde, but the events are always added after the 
events from the previous import.

Having the possibility to overwrite would be great.

FYI, if you need inspiration to write this, the Kuro5shin webcalendar 
has it (it's PHP too). http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php



Thanks
