move event between calendars

[JoachimVdH]

Is it possible to move an event between calendars ?

what i'm trying to achieve:
when i export from outlook and import in Calendar everything is in one calendar.
I create a new calendar 'birthdays' and want to move the birthdays from the imported to the 'birthdays' calendar.

tnx

You can cut events from the events list, then select a different calendar and paste them.

Alternatively, you can use a text editor to cut and paste in the ICS files.

when pasting, the time ranges are not the same as the original.
I was more thinking but that not working it seems, that you could change calendar file on the bottom of the form. ( a proposal )

So i'll have to edit the files to be sure that everthing stays in place.

Tnx for your help

WARNING: if you try moving an invite event this way, Thunderbird will automatically resend the invite to everyone CCed on the event in the first place

Hallo,
this thread is quiet old but my somebody is still responding?
How can I move an invite event between calendars, it is always pasted in the same (source) calendar.

thx

You have to make a new calendar first. Then right-click > Open the event in question (a window will pop open) and then, from the Calendar drop down, choose the calendar you wish.

thx for the reply, but that works only for events created by myself.
I cannot do it for events for which I'm invited by others (at least if the invitation was sent by an outlook server).

Okay. Sorry I can't be of further help.

PackElend,
I just did exactly what you asked about. I right-clicked on an invite in my default calendar and chose copy. I then selected my google synced calendar from the side menu, went back to the appropriate day, right clicked, and chose paste. The invite now shows as being part of that calendar and I was able to delete the original invite.

Hallo,
have used Thunderbird/Lighting for quite a while, so Mozilla may changed/improved something.

Is copy still linked to the original invention or is just a copy of the event details?
I would like to move between the calendars not just copy.

cheers

If you want to move an event you can try the same approach but instead of Copy+Paste use Cut+Paste.
