Handling of ics or vcal files

[Marph]

Good morning,

does anyone have an idea how to import ics or vcal files into Joplin? I do not need a calendar; if they showed up as a task (with the starting date as todo_due perhaps) that would be enough.

I didn't use any of them, but you could try to convert the calendar events to Markdown by a custom script (GitHub - hmerritt/go-ics-to-markdown: ICS->Markdown | Convert a calendar ICS file into a Markdown table / GitHub - fdagner/ics-to-markdown-for-obsidian: Imports calendar entries from a date range into Obsidian's daily notes via ics links) and then import to Joplin.

Would this merit a proposal for a plugin (which I would be unable to contribute to )

Would be a good fit for:

Any suggestions on what plugins could be created?

I’m looking at the plugin system at the moment and there are many ways to implement this. To make sure it’s as useful as possible it would be good to gather plugin ideas - basically what feature would you like to see that could make a good plugin? (Features that have many thumbs up on GitHub don’t qualify since these would be part of the core app) I’ve already collected these ideas over time, but I’m sure there others: Merge multiple notes into one - https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/request-…
