[kened]

i managed to find a workaround for importing from iCal. i had naively (although logically, i believe) assumed, when i purchased omniplan, that import from ical events would be very straightforward - thinking perhaps i could drag and drop. i really think this is a pretty obvious feature which should be included in a future build.

anyway, what i did was export the data from bento as a .csv file (iCal does not let you do this directly) then open it in OmniPlan - there is a dialogue box which allows you to map the fields from iCal data to corresponding categories in omniplan - clunky i know, but it gets the basic information across
