Missing Agenda Export in ICS

Missing Agenda Export in ICS

[SabreWolfy]

I'm using Org-mode 8.2.7c. I exported my Agenda with "C-x C-w" and specified
an ICS file, which I then imported into Google Calendar. Many events
appeared, but some did not. An example of one, which did not appear, was a
standard timestamp event, where other "standard" ones also appeared. What
are the reasons that an item would not export?

This entry does not appear in the export. Other similar ones do appear.

Have you looked at the actual calendar entry in the ics file?

The entry does not appear in the ICS file. Some events are being exported,
some are not.

Ah, so the problem is with the export from org and not the import into
Google's calendar.  Your original post was ambiguous!

Have you tried exporting that entry alone?  Have you looked at the
*Messages* buffer for any errors?  What is the entry just before the one
that doesn't export?  In other words, what have you looked at?

Yes. Thanks for the suggestion to look at the ICS file as well. I should
have thought of that :)

No entries of relevance in the *Messages* buffer. I was looking for
suggestions as to *what* I should look at to start trouble-shooting this.

I have solved it though. I was exporting the default "week" view, and
looking for entries further in the future :) I think I assumed that the
"entire" Agenda would be exported, not (just) the current view. If I switch
to the fortnightly view, for example, then the entry in question is
correctly exported.

Apologies for the noise.

Ah, this makes sense although it can be confusing initially.  Glad you
sorted it.  We always welcome changes to the documentation, by the
way...

The entry is not in the ICS file.
