It would be nice if you could write the entries directly to a calendar on the phone you can choose on your own.
I have a separate calendar for the birthday entries, that are filled right now by EboBirthday. Really nice feature!

I already tried that, but I didn't find a way to do it. I'll try again!

eboBirthday is adding a comment in the notes of the entrie in the calendar like:
The following stuff is for EboBirthday. Please do not delete! [EB:ID106]

Maybe this info helps.

IMHO, this is counterproductive in the app and should not be added for several reasons. Let me enumerate the most important ones:

  1. It may create lots of conflicts and will require duplicate handling when importing from the calendar again in the future, after an export -- this can be the case of a user that today performs an export, after a few months adds an event to the calendar and then tries to do an import to add this new event to Birday
  2. Maybe the most significant: it may be against the app itself, since it could entice users to uninstall the app directly and just use the standard calendar app

I added a super-duper experimental export to calendar feature in the latest beta, and close this, feel free to re-open if it doesn't work as expected

Where do I find this in beta?
I installed it from f-droid.
