[kronolith] Recurring events with RDATE

[Jens Wahnes]

When trying to import an event from an ICS file that uses RDATE to 
define multiple occurrences of that event, only the "first" event is 
shown in Kronolith.  That is, the later dates where the event is to 
reoccur are silently dropped upon import.  It seems that Kronolith does 
not support recurring events that do not follow a regular scheme (e.g. 
weekly or bi-weekly, defined via RRULE in an ICS file).  Is that 
observation correct?  I couldn't find a way to create such events 
(non-RRULE reoccuring events) in the GUI, so it might be obvious that 
Kronolith does not support this, but then I also might be missing something.

Thinking about this, I came to the conclusion that it would probably be 
possible to simulate reoccurring events that to not follow a clear 
repetition rule just by using the means that Kronolith provides already. 
This could be done e.g. by having a daily reoccurence and lots of 
exceptions to that, but that would be rather ugly, IMHO.

On a side note, I noticed that when IMP displays an email with an 
invitation to a recurring (RRULE) event, there is a printf placeholder 
"%x" in the event preview that is not filled.  See the attached image 
for an example.  Is this a known bug or should I report this to the bug 
tracker?
