Version 1.5:
  • Now possible to search for blank event titles using emptry search criteria for "title begins with:"
  • Added action to replace event titles to with a fixed string.
  • Added action to append event notes to event titles (with adjustable truncation).
  • Fixed issue with properly formatting blank lines in event notes.
  • Fixed issues with search & replace in title and notes which could result in error with Tiger, or erroneously replacing a blank search string.
  • Existing calendar popup on Action tab refreshes from iCal each time that action is selected.
Version 1.4.2:
  • Added option to match modification dates rather than event start dates for range matching.

Version 1.4:

  • Fixed (major) bug where Act would act upon unselected events if they had been sorted (by clicking column headers) between Search and Act.
  • Fixed (stupid) bug where an error would occur if all calendars are checked in iCal and calendars are then reloaded in CaliBrate.
  • Added ability to create and edit alarms on event drawer.
  • Added ability to search only on unchecked calendars.
  • Added event counts to selected and unselected events on results tab.
  • Added ability to shift events in time by days as well as hours.

  • Added option to adjust alarm times for events starting at midnight so that alarms fire at 9 a.m.

  • Above option has the semi-intended side-effect of allowing resetting event time zones to current system defaults.
  • CaliBrate recognizes custom alarm sounds in standard locations (.aiff or .aif only in ~/Library/Sounds/ or /Library/Sounds/)
  • When adding alarms from the Act tab, only alarms of the same type are replaced. Other alarms are no longer removed.
  • Event drawer is now closed when dragging events between selected and unselected lists.
  • Fixed issue where a new calendar could be created with no name if a blank calendar name was entered.

  • Fixed issue were an invalid path for a file or script alarm could be entered if cancelled when selecting.
  • Fixed issue where entering an absolute (rather than relative) alarm time did not get saved.
  • Fixed rare issue where preferences could become corrupted by not allowing saving preferences if they are not fully read initially.
  • Other bug fixes and typo corrections.

Version 1.3:

  • CaliBrate was not properly detecting unchecked (disabled) calendars in iCal. Fixed.

    NICKSLOAN  Very flexible and effective tool for searching iCal and making batch changes to events. Quick response from the developer when I reported a problem with date formatting. Altogether a nice bit of software to have and to use.

    MIKE_THE_MAGICIAN  For 8 bucks you have to work harder, mate. Kills my iCal regularly. Get many AppleScript Errors while adding relative alarms to Events. Afterwards your GUI crashes as well

    WOODEN BRAIN CONCEPTS  As always, please email developers with bug reports. They will be corrected when they are known. Unfortunately if this is a problem it was not caught for the 1.1 release but will be for the next.

    WOODEN BRAIN CONCEPTS  The errors related to "adding relative alarms to Events" was due to a bug in Leopard. It had not been caught until I saw this posting. It is now fixed in 1.1.2. Other mentioned bugs I have not been able to reproduce. The GUI crash may be related to the first bug. Once again, it will be much more helpful to communicate with developers when software has problems so that those problems can be fixed. Developers may only read forum comments when they post new versions if at all, so that just delays getting them fixed.

    MACUPDATE ADMIN  It's difficult (why, I don't know) to get people to understand that MacUpdate is an outlet for softwares and that when issues arise with a given software that the developer(s) should be contacted directly via their respective websites.

    I post frequently in response to 'trouble' posts here at MacUpdate, telling people to contact the developer.

    We're (MacUpdate) not the manufacturer, folks!
