limit date range for sync #198

Open uliw opened 4 years ago

uliw commented 4 years ago

Hi there,

this is an awesome tool! Is there a way to limit the date range for the synchronization? I've been using google calendar for years, and I have no need to sync the past 10 years. More importantly, however, it slows emacs to a crawl when opening the file.

I may be overlooking the obvious here, so thanks for any pointers

Cheers

Uli

@uliw Have you found a solution in the meantime? My old calendar entries are a mess, it renders the entire thing useless for me.

A quick solution is to deactivate the timestamps of old entries so that the agenda view doesn't take ages to load, if at all. A useful regex replacement: <\(20\(?:[01][0-9]\|20\).*?\)> -> [\1] (deactivates all timestamps for the years 2000-2020).

Running org-caldav-sync again doesn't reactivate them fortunately.

I don't think so. Syncing stopped working and was unable to get it going again

Sorry, I didn't mention that I'm only syncing downwards ('cal->org). If you're syncing both directions it seems likely that this shouldn't work.
