How to remove all BirthdayScanner X events from an iCal calendar

You imported into an existing calendar (e.g. your Home calendar), and now you have a mix of anniversaries and other events.

You don't like that and want to get rid of the anniversaries without without affecting your other events.

  1. Open iCal and select the calendar
  2. In the Search Field in the upper right corner of iCal, enter the search term zencat (1). Now you have listed all BirthdayScanner X events - and just them - in the lower pane (2).

  3. Select them all (scroll up, select the first, scroll down, Shift-select the last).
  4. Delete them (Menu: Edit->Delete).

You might have to repeat that whole process (including step 2, by re-entering the search term) multiple times. iCal seems to be a bit buggy and only deletes parts of the selection.
