Kde-pim/pi 2.0.16 Release, Hammer at it and report! Options

[eji]

zautrix, I know you said that OM/Pi's bugs are many, but I'd appreciate it if you could fix the following:

Column readjustments. They don't stick. I want to rearrange my sender, subject, date, and size (in that order) and have it stay that way. This works in KA/Pi, so it should be easy to implement in OM/Pi.

Expanded mailbox folder lists. Someone else has already requested this, but I'm seconding it. I'd like my mailbox folder lists to stay expanded rather than having to click on them to open them. Can't it save a local copy and update only in the (unlikely) event that a folder is added to the server-side mailbox? As it stands now, I have to wait for it to retreive and refresh the folders, then to download my mail. Those ten seconds are oh so precious to me.

That said, OM/Pi has long been my primary e-mail client.

And while I'm here, could you *please* arrange it so that KO/Pi has a "resources" feature like KA/Pi? Specifically, what I want it to do is use individual .ics files so that synching with my iBook isn't even an issue. Apple's iCal.app uses not one grand .ics file but as many as you assign, one for each category, and it would be great to do the same with KO/Pi.

More spam: I just noticed the pi-sync forums were offline, how come?

I changed my provider, which has no php support any more.

The answers to all your questions is: No.

2.0.20 is out. I'll test and report, then update the first post again.

[jesizmi]

I just installed Version 2.0.21 and wow, Kopi seems to have gained a lot. Finally, cycling through views has been achieved (not customizable though), the hole seems to be faster. To be honest, i've lost the track of new features a bit (e.g. i'm not shure, whether features are new in Kopi, or just newly discovered by me) but anyhow, i like it very much and the decreasing activity in this thread seems to be an indicator that most users are reasonable content by now.
I at least, am.

I can't tell if there's anything new with Kapi, since it worked perfect for me ever since V2.016.

Thanks again guys,
greetz, j.

Both Zautrix and I did quite a bit, especially for 21. He's just an awesome bug-fixer, so it's quite rewarding to work with him.
You can customize the views that Kopi cycles through: It only cycles that you have buttons for in the toolbar. So select whichever buttons you want, re-start (make sure you deselect fast-load before starting it up again, you can re-select it once the kopi is started again), and it should cycle between the buttons you have.
Let me know if you have any troubles, though.
I've let some flatmates of mine test Kopi, and they found quite a few more usability bugs that we'll get fixed before long.

[zautrix]

Phew.

I have now fixed and implemented all things I would like to have in KO/Pi in KA/Pi:

********** VERSION 2.0.22 ************

KO/Pi:
Fix for creating events/todos via the abgenda context menu.
Added option to split toolbar to 3 toolbars.
(Toolbar moving s disabled for this option due to a bug in Qt somewhere).
Added option to show one small filter-view-toolbar.
Added a print option to the desktop version:
Now you can print out the view of the "Event Viewer".
That means you can print all data of one particular event/todo.
Added scaling options to printout of Event Viewer and What'sNext View.
Fixed some problems in the month view in "week start sunday" mode.
KA/Pi:
Added two more config options.
Fixed resizing problem of address request dialog when orientation was switched.
Cleaned up the menu structure.
Fixed some more problems.

Fixed the annoying problem that scrolling continued after the key was released in KO/Pi Monthview and the KA/Pi views.

And, this is a really cool option (Ben did suggest it):
Now KO/Pi and KA/Pi can be run from a USB stick:
All data is read from and written to the stick.
You can enable this in the global configure option TAB with:
Save using LOCAL storage.
Just put KDE-Pim/Pi on a memory stick and you can access all your PIM data on every computer with Windows XP. It will work with the ME and Linux versions as well. I will put a memory stick version for the next stable release online.



Ok, now it's up to you to find some remaining problems ...

[JoP]

Uff!
I can't follow you guys!
So many new versions with bug fixes in such a short time...
I always (every day) have to check if a new version came out when I find a bug and want to report it...
I do my best and try to help reporting bugs, but reinstalling takes a while, I have Cacko 64-0 on SD, and I find it quite slow to install ipks (I need a faster SD card ) and in this while you might have fixed and improved a bunch of things...
(couple of days out, and I'm 4 versions behind, I need training )

Thanks a lot for your work!

Like I said, versions come out so fast simply because zautrix fixes problems faster than I can find them, and I can find quite a few.
To make upgrading a bit quicker, run this:

ipkg remove kaddressbook &&
ipkg remove kmicrokdelibs &&
ipkg remove kmobilephoneaccess &&
ipkg remove kopiemail &&
ipkg remove korganizer-alarm &&
ipkg remove korganizer &&
ipkg remove ksharpPIM-DTMaccess &&
ipkg remove pimTABicon &&
ipkg remove pwmanager

Ole! then you just move to a directory where you've dumped all the files,
"ipkg install kmicrolib*.ipk",
"rm kmicrolib*.ipk", and
"ipkg install *.ipk", and finally
"rm *.ipk"

Make sure the kdepim packages are the only ones in that directory, or you're going to hate yourself after running those rm commands.

Maybe one massive IPK with all the apps would be nice

Z, thanks for the new version, installing now. I have quite a few more bugs to fix, but I want to test them on 22 before sending them out (no use having you waste your time).

Does this mean that I could keep the Windows binary on my Z and run it on a host PC updating the same data as the Zaurus version?

That would be a neat solution!

Is it also not true that you can set up your Z to act as a memory reader and then point windows to that drive for reading/writting KO/KA/Pi files (without dealing with memory sticks you get the same effect of having windows and Z versions sharing files)?

That's exactly what I had in mind! Keep one set of data files on the Zaurus and the Windows KO/PI binary.

well i haven't had the time to install .22 and i admit, keeping up with your pace is a challenge, but still i prefer the single ipk's, maybe because i like to be in control (or at least pretend to be).
and i don't usually install all PI apps, so plz keep the single ipk's.

Fuck me for not thinking about it. It's very doable. I'll ask Zautrix.
