Being able to create an ics calendar file from my TR data is very helpful. I have a suggestion to make though ...

The iCalendar specification allows the use of a "CATEGORIES" tag. I would like to see my action context going in there, instead of storing it in "LOCATION", or maybe store them in both tags.

Example:
BEGIN:VTODO
DTSTAMP:20180914T114157Z
SUMMARY:Some very urgent task ...
UID:650@trgtd.com.au
DESCRIPTION:Computer [Some very urgent project]\n
CATEGORIES:Computer,Another Category,...
LOCATION:Computer
TZID:Europe/Berlin
END:VTODO

... where this entry carries the categories "Computer" and "Another Category".

This would be very helpful when loading this file in other applications, e.g. Thunderbird calendar, Smartphone calendar app ... Any opinions?
