Task timescales not showing in Ical

(closed account) says:
Hi guys,

I have made some tasks for RTM on my iPhone and sync'd with iCal.

When I make a task, lets say

Task = 'go to work' at 7am

Time = 7 hours

When you look at the daily view on iCal it shows me at work from 0700 to 0800 only 1 hour? I wish!

Anyone help me out here?

Thanks,

Hi gazatk,
Emily explained previously why it's not possible to use the time estimate as the duration in iCalendar:

With the iCalendar Events feed, we set the duration of each event to be 1hr so that all tasks display on the calendar. The reason for this is that not all tasks may have time estimates, and that the time estimate for a task isn't necessarily the same as an event duration (e.g. if a report is due at 9am and has a time estimate of 6hrs, this doesn't mean that it should show as an event for the 6hrs immediately before or after the due date -- the report may be worked on at any time). Hope this helps!
