No luck on making iCal a bit happier with fiddled text files so far, so I
guess I need to look into the applescript solutions a bit more.
I would like to add an alarm to all of the events in a specific calendar
(named CT in my case), but I can't seem to get my head around how to
target all the events of a calendar (or how to work the syntax of the
alarm event). Does anyone have a sample I could learn off of?
The other thing I would like to do is to modify the name of each event in
a calendar to include the location of the event in the name. I am after
this becuase my iPod does not have any way to show me the location of a
meeting, so I want to wedge it into the name of the meeting itself.
Any help would be great....
