We're unable to confirm the issue. Please check if the issue occurs on a new database as well. If it does, please forward us the test database from which you're exporting the event(s). Thank you.

Re: [BUG] .epim export drops repeated property on repeated whole day events
Further investigation yields:
- If you select and export the original *first* event (of the series) it will retain the repeat property
- If you select and export one of the subsequent events it will be just a "single event on that day"
I admit there's some logic to this ... but it's counterintuitive, unlike "Edit ...", the export does not ask if you'd like to export the single event or the series, and to export a list of all yearly events would mean that I have to find and select the *first* of each of them and export it individually.

Re: [BUG] .epim export drops repeated property on repeated whole day events
The issue has improved insofar as that the repeating events now retain their properties in the exported epim database ... but when that is opened, the repeats beyond the start-date are not shown, e.g. an event created on the 11.07.2013 and set to repeat yearly without end date is shown only on that 11.07.2013, but not in any subsequent year.

Re: [BUG] .epim export drops repeated property on repeated whole day events
Can you reproduce the issue by creating a new recurring event?
