I'd rather not have to populate my org files > with :ID: entries. I don't... however, I have to admit that I don't really know that much about .ics files and the use of UID. The setup at the moment just works for me and the appointments I want show up in google calendar (only ones with a start and end time). One issue I still have is that they only show up in an extra calendar and I have to copy them by hand into my main calendar (so that other people can see them too)... this is ok for me, since I don't have too many entries that go from org->google, mostly I use the other direction google->org. So there is still lots of room for improvement ;) Anyway, here is the relevant part from my .emacs file just in case ;;; org -> google export via .ics (setq org-icalendar-use-UTC-date-time nil) (setq org-icalendar-timezone "America/Los_Angeles") (defun org-mycal-export-limit () "Limit the export to items that have a date, time and a range. Also exclude certain categories." (setq org-tst-regexp "<\\([0-9]\\{4\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\} ... [0-9]\\{2\\}:[0-9]\\{2\\}[^\r\n>]*?\\)>") (setq org-tstr-regexp (concat org-tst-regexp "--?-?" org-tst-regexp)) (save-excursion ; get categories (setq mycategory (org-get-category)) ; get start and end of tree (org-back-to-heading t) (setq mystart (point)) (org-end-of-subtree) (setq myend (point)) (goto-char mystart) ; search for timerange (setq myresult (re-search-forward org-tstr-regexp myend t)) ; search for categories to exclude (setq mycatp (member mycategory org-export-exclude-category)) ; return t if ok, nil when not ok (if (and myresult (not mycatp)) t nil))) (defun org-mycal-export () (let ((org-icalendar-verify-function 'org-mycal-export-limit)) (org-export-icalendar-combine-agenda-files))) and I export via a cron script doing emacs --batch -l ~/.emacs --eval '(defun ask-user-about-lock (file opp) nil)' -f org-mycal-export cheers ARUN
