Customize default format for "printics"

[wavexx]

I use printics as an ics prettyprinter. However the default format used by printics is completely useless for me (for one, it doesn't include the date of the event!).

Changing the format is pretty easy with -f, but I'd love to be able to set a different default in the configuration file.

Perhaps a good first start would be to update the default. What would you expect to see there/what would you put in your configuration?

Hard to say. I omit a lot of information that I don't need. I currently have: {bold}{start-long}{to-style}{end-necessary}{reset}: {location}\n {red-bold}{title}{reset}\n\n{description} However the current formats are a bit difficult to combine. For example {to-style} is not removed if {end-necessary} is not necessary. {start-end-time-style} is unusable as doesn't consider multi-day events. There's no relative date information that shows: - today - day of the week if within the current week - full date otherwise There's no {event-duration} which would be useful instead of showing the end-time. With conditionals we could do away with all the optional string formats.

adding {event-duration} would probably be very useful (and simple). Full scripting would be much nicer, but I don't know a good way how to do it without just evaling a string.

{today-or-weekday-or-date} or something similar would probably be useful as well. Feel free to open additional issues about those.
