    hi, is there a way to sync google cal and rainlendar? not only by one time import export fction, but continuously. So that every time I enter an event in rainlendar, it would get synced to google calender and vice versa. thanks

    ps: my aim is to be using a simple sw for calender, like rainlendar...i love having it on the desktop so I can see all the time what I have to do..... BUT i want to have a full feature application where I can see everything in more detail and see e.g. two weaks plan ahead...

    when I think of it, it doens have to be a rainlendar..... Im looking for a good calendar app in general. but one where I can see the most important, or the upcomming events easily, without opening some app, and then once I need to see everything in more detail, see the long term plan...I would open the app....any advice? I have tried Outlook and Sunbird....sunbird is ok, but I dont want to open it every time I want to see whats cooming up....outlook is to robust, too many functions I dont need

    You would rather schedule events in Rainlender than the main app? If not, Outlook or Sunbird would work for the main app, and they at least one-way sync with Rainlender automatically.

    I don't think it is possible to do that with Rainlendar. Rainlendar only allows reading data from Google Calendar, but any changes from Rainlendar will not be reflected in Google Calendar. I am using Rainlendar with Google Calendar myself.

    Go to Options -> Calendar -> Add -> set the URL to your Google Calendar private address.
