I would really like to know if we may expect some sort of an iCal plugin one day. I am having the problem that I would like to have trips from several calendars uploaded to dopplr (private and business). At the same time, the private calendar should not reside on a public server. However, the secret Dopplr URL seems only to be able to take one calendar, so I also cannot upload the private calendar to my private, secure server and have it read into Dopplr.
I have not been able to find a solution for this problem yet and was wondering if an iCal plugin (does iCal have a plugin API?) would do the trick if I was able to tick "Share this appointment on Dopplr" for each individual trip.
Using a separate dopplr calendar doesn't really do it for me as this leads to lots of redundant "trip management".
I seem to have a problem when integrating ics files. When I upload a file to a server location and set to connect Dopplr with the file, Dopplr creates to entries: one dynamic entry to the uploaded file that is automatically update when something changes, and one called "uploaded calender" that cannot be refreshed.
However, I haven't uploaded anything - I just have one ics-file sitting there and I would expect Dopplr to dynamically refresh its contents.
By also connecting to the second file, I am having the further problem of duplicate and conflicting entries.
I may be missing something, but I had an imported iCal trip last weekend that I can no longer find. My journal says, regarding this trip, "We imported a trip (since deleted) from an external calendar."
This seems like a problem, especially given your super awesome carbon calculator working on the basis of old trips. (I noticed this while trying out the calculator.)
Suggested behavior for trips imported from iCals: Once the trip starts, disconnect it from the iCal so that when it goes into the past and disappears from the iCal, it doesn't disappear from Dopplr.
I have a calendar import set up from Tripit, which works great, except . . .
Occasionally the trips that have been imported from my iCal get deleted and re-added. This only appears to happen when the link has not been broken by editing the trip in Dopplr. This started happening last Saturday and happened again this Saturday.
I didn't make any changes to my Tripit feed, though I suppose they could have reset something on there side.
This isn't exactly a problem for me, but I assume it also causes my trips to show up again in all of my contact's activity feeds. Not good :-(
