Petibub:

thank you for testing Erminig-NG! I appreciate!
Please find below my comments on the bugs you encountered so far:

- I have 7 local cals. Erminig does not recognize one of them (name: privat), so I can not sync this cal. I have no idea what so special about this one cal, but this cal I also can not rename ;-)
I suspect that this is a calendar created by Mail for Exchange. I had the same issue with a calendar called "N900" on my device. I'm also unable to delete it, and I'm a bit at a loss about why it doesn't appear in the database. With the upcoming changes I'm implementing, this problem may go away.
- Erminig crashed on a cal having an umlaut (Geschäft) in the title (I'm in austria). Renamed to "Geschaeft" to work around this problem, it's a minor issue.
Bug fixed, thanks. I was able to reproduce it locally. Ahem...no, it looks like it has not been fixed. I have to find another workaround. I won't spend too much time on it, since the problem is specific to using the terminal for user-interaction, which I plan to remove when the GUI is done.
In the meantime I will simply display a dialog box with the question.
- I looked at the python script and saw that there is no recognition if a local calendar is already on google. Looks like a complicated thing keeping tracking of all the IDs, so it's a "nice-to-have" thing.
That's correct. In the previous version of Erminig the approach was a bit different: you had to have a local calendar and a google calendar and then you set up manually the relationship. In Erminig-NG new calendars are created on both sides.

- A big problem is that after Erminig created 5 cals on google, three of them had wrong titles - they had the google-id as the title (the looooong string with groop.calendar.google.com at the end). Erminig could sync all the events of these cals, however it's hard to recognize the real title of these calcs in Google now. After correcting the titles in google, Erminig could not sync with them anymore. A renaming back to the google-ids as titles did not help. The only way to get Erminig to work again is to delete Erminig's database. At the moment is this the biggest problem for me - any ideas?
I got hit by the very same problem while debugging the umlaut issue. I think that they are somewhat related (but I don't understand why), but I have to do some more testing and I'll get back to you with more information!

thanks again for the bug reports!
