Using calcure with ICS files doesn't work

[fhmbrg]

If configured calcure as shown at https://anufrievroman.gitbook.io/calcure/syncing-with-clouds#reading-from-.ics-files-in-calcure.

When I try to start calcure I get the following error message:

The pParameters-section of my config.ini file looks as follows:

Could you please check which version you are using (hit ? in the program), and upgrade to version 2.8 if it's not that one? pip install --upgrade calcure

This is reminiscent of #41 but I thought we fixed that. Anyways, you'll need to separate different 'calendars' into different files. Could you also show how you set up address in vdirsyncer?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Installing calcure via pip did the trick, before I've used an AUR package which was version 2.7.1.

Your hint regarding separation of different calendars into dedicated files I've noticed in the before mentioned documentation section.
