    Hi.
    This is a very old issue never fixed. So consider that as an “up”.
    When the 3-days event in the provided URL is exported in Google Agenda, the duration is 3 days.
    But when the event is exported in iCal, the duration is only 2 days.
    You told me that you were aware of this issue.
    Any fix possible ?
    Best regards.
    Franck.

    Hi @uscarsfrance,

    The page you linked to features an event running from September 5 – September 14 and the iCal data we generate matches this:

    DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170905
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170914

    Can you clarify the problem?

    You told me that you were aware of this issue.
    Any fix possible ?

    I can’t seem to locate the exchange where you were told that we were aware of this … can you link me to it?

    Thanks!

    Hi.
    This is very easy to clarify.
    If you export the sample to Google Agenda, the event appears at the right dates :

    If you export the sample to iCal, the event ends one day before :

    I don’t have a similar issue with other calendars. So I think that something in the exported event is not interpreted correctly by the iCal application.
    Best regards.
    PS : The previous thread was more than 7 months old, I don’t find the link neither in my activity.
