VCS to ICS Calendar Converter

VCS to ICS Calendar Converter is a cool open-source tool that helps you convert vCalendar files into iCalendar formats. It makes the process easy by automatically handling to-do and event items during the conversion. So, if you’ve got some old calendar files lying around, this might just be what you need!

Why Use VCS to ICS?

This handy tool is perfect for anyone looking to move their calendar files from older software like Microsoft Works or NbuExplorer over to modern mobile systems like Android or iOS. These newer systems usually work best with iCalendar formats, so this converter can really help bridge that gap.

How Does It Work?

The VCS to ICS Calendar Converter takes a console approach, which means it runs through the command line. But don’t worry; it’s designed so you won’t have to mess with complicated commands. The whole thing is automated, which means less hassle for you!

Getting Started

When you run the program, it looks in your working directory (that’s usually C:\Users\CurrentUser by default) for any VCS files. Once it finds them, it creates an ICS folder and does all the conversion work for you! Your converted files will end up in the output directory.

Email Prompts

If you run the program using the BAT file from the download archive, it will ask for your email address. But if you're feeling fancy and want to skip that step, just use ‘-e’ with Java -jar followed by your email address when running it.

User Experience

While VCS to ICS Calendar Converter does its job well, some users might find using a command line a bit tricky if they're not used to it. A graphical user interface (GUI) would definitely make it more user-friendly and attract even more users.
