Sync without the Outlook client!

[phw198]

Since Microsoft have started rolling out the New Outlook client, I have been developing a version of OGCS that does not depend on any Outlook client at all. Instead OGCS will connect to your Outlook calendar in much the same way as it does for Google (using OAuth) and authorising OGCS to manage your calendar.

⚠️ Disclaimer

Bleeding edge development builds will be posted here. This means:-

• Bad Things might happen. Only try these builds if you are OK with that.
• Many features are not yet implemented. See Project KanBan for details.
• Feedback is welcome, though I may already be resolving an issues you may have.
  • Kanban items under Early Sight may have issues being actively worked on; UAT should be more stable and certainly worth reporting bugs

🚧 Setup Recommendations

• Create a new Outlook calendar for OGCS to sync with.
• Unzip the development build to a new directory and have it use a new settings and log file:

mkdir c:\temp\OGCS-dev
cd c:\temp\OGCS-dev

Unzip the development build into the new directory

call OutlookGoogleCalendarSync /t:"Development Build" /s:.\settings.xml /l:.\OGcalsync.log

Where is the best place for feedback?
I'll reply here, but happy to move if required. I get an Application unexpectedly terminated on start, 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'.
