Lightning events. Change the calendar field in all events to a particular calendar

I use Mozilla's Thunderbird for email on Mac OS X and like it very much. In addition I use Thunderbird's add-on calendar called Lightning, also very satisfactory.

Recently I have set up a Google Calendar and have coupled my Lightning Calendar to my Google Calendar. The question that I have, which is detailed in the four attached screenshots, is this: Is there a way to toggle the "Calendar" field in all of the events of a Lightning Calendar rather than doing so one-by-one?

Alternatively if there is no way, is there perhaps a file in the Thunderbird folder (on Mac OS stored here : /Users/andynic/Library/Thunderbird ) that I could edit with the Wrangler editor or over which I could run a perl script that could make the required changes?

Thanks for your help. Andynic

export the calendar from Thunderbird as an ICS file (Export on the events and tasks menu) and import to google calendar on the web site. Wait for the google calendar to synchronize the events back to Thunderbird.
