Kde-pim/pi 1.9.14 Release, Please test Options

[zautrix]

Hi!

I have fixed some bugs in the KDE-Pim/Pi version 1.9.13:


Info about the changes in new versions of KDE-Pim/Pi

********** VERSION 1.9.14 ************

Fixed some problems with the dialog sizes when switching
portrait/landscape mode on 640x480 PDA display.

Fixed some other small bugs in KA/Pi KO/Pi and OM/Pi and PwM/Pi.

Fixed an ugly bug in KOpieMail:
KOpieMail was not able to write files (mails) to MSDOS file system,
like on an usual preformatted SD card. That should work now.
To save your mail data on the Sd card do the following:
Create a dir on the SD card:
mkdir /mnt/card/localmail
Go to your home dir:
cd
Go to kopiemail data storage dir:
cd kdepim/apps/kopiemail
Create a symlink to the SD card:
ls -s /mnt/card/localmail
Now KOpieMail will store all mails on the SD card.

KO/Pi Monthview:
Now "Go to Today" selects the current month from day 1-end,
not the current date + some days.
I.e. "Go to Today" shows now always
the current month with first day of month in the first row.

Added missing German translation.

Fixed icons of executeable on Wintendo.

Added a "Show next Mail" button to the OM/Pi
mail viewer such that the mail below the current mail
in the mail list view of the current folder
can be read with a single click.

If there are no problems, it will be the stable 2.0 release version in 1-2 weeks.

Thx.

1.9.14 cannot make recurrent todos ;(

I'll bugtest this one. I'll use the new conf file instead of my own old, as it seemed to create bugs that didn't exist on a clean install.
edit: maybe an installation ipk for the QT embedded libs? (kcommander fails without them) You have to remount / read-write to create a symlink, which isn't really within reach of the first strolling newbie

edit: thanks for replying to even the closed the bugs so I could try new things. Found some bugs that I'll report in the SF system.
Kcommander4z RFE: integrate addressbook with Kapi.
Kcommander4z RFE: allow fast-start.

more edit: can't seem to reach the SF page, so here's something I'm struggling with:
On a brand new install (/home/zaurus/kdepim has been wiped), when you create a new todo/event, you always get "anniversary" or whatever is the (alphabetically) first standard event (instead of a blank input field). It's mighty annoying
yet more edit: confirmed on a totally blank install, submitted to SF.

more edit: Thanks a lot for the time you've put into kdepimpi this far. If you want me to test out the next release befre you publish it, let me know.

Temporary bugs outline:

kapi: browsing up and down card list is very very slow (using keys to browse, instead of scrolling)

edit: I am removing the bugs and requests for enhancements here as I enter them in the SourceForge RFE and bug tracking systems.

Hi! Thanx for good job with kdepim/pi.
I don't have Zaurus, but I've found it good PIM program for W2K. I'm using it for a month and I'm very satisfied with it's general "outlook" and perspectives for development.

I have one question and one bug.
1. Is it possible to sync from W2K to mobile phone (nokia 6610 through irda)? I followed instructions in HowTo but all I get was error: "Sorry, the database access command failed! Nothing synced!"

If the operation is generally possible, I suspect two problems:
* path with spaces to calendar files (c:\documents and settings\...)
* polish letters in events and todos (my phone is localized too, but probably it's standard isn't windows cp1250)

2. Polish letters again... It is possible to enter any text with any strange central european diacritical marks (just like in any other windows), but when I get hints during editing summary of event or todo, all polish letters are replaced with strange character combinations (e.g. A3 or |?).

Greetings!

I've discovered one problem with KO/PI 1.9.14: Double-clicking in the agenda brings up a "new event" dialog, but the title of the event is taken from an old event, the date always seems to be the current date (not the date you clicked) and the time to be 12:00 .
I really apprecieate this PIM-suite - use it all the time.

I have this same problem, and cannot edit current to-do because of it.

kopi alarm applet is iso-8859-1 only - alarm with description "test ±æê³ñ󶼿 TEST" show only "test" - it is totally wrong for me and is a serious ShowStopper for 2.0 release

second showstopper is lack of recurrent todos.

I can post VCard for you tomorrow.

I am sorry, one of my "fixes" caused that bug.

I wiil try to fix it this weekend.

All: Please do not use 1.9.14 on Zaurus.

Windows version does not have this problem.

More happy little bugs:

kapi bug: no A in jump bar (I get a ! instead). no natural way to revert to full list.

kapi bug: edit new categories just doesn't work when you simply copy /home/zaurus/kdepim over. RFE: maybe add a rescan button to the categories configuration dialog.

kopi bug: when calling todo list from alarm applet, icon doesnt appear in taskbar.


kapi RFE: find-as-you-type when using search field: display new result set for each new character input/removal in the search bar (basically makes the search field a dynamic filter).
kapi RFE: remember 2 columns width settings for each column (1 for portrait, 1 for landscape).
kapi RFE: jump bar on top instead of on the side in portrait mode.
kapi RFE: choose items visible in details pane
kapi RFE: provide long tap menu for the contact list (like the kopi todo list)
kapi RFE: SyncML?

Zautrix, thanks for the update. Should I continue dumping the other bugs in the tracker? Could you please put 13 back on SF.net?

The problems of the version 1.9.14 should be fixed.

Please try again ... and please test the new features:

Info about the changes in new versions of KDE-Pim/Pi

********** VERSION 1.9.15 ************

Usebilty enhancements in KO/Pi:
When clicking on the date in a month view cell, the day view is shown.
Old behaviour was, that the "new event" dialog popped up.

Added a one step "undo delete" in KO/Pi (Accessable in the "Action" menu).
That means, you can restore the latest
event/todo/journal you have deleted.
A journal is deleted, if you clear all the text of the journal.

Fixed the bug of the editor dialogs in KO/Pi of version 1.9.14.

KA/Pi starting in 480x640 resolution:
Hide the filter action in toolbar
and added icons for undo/delete/redo in toolbar.

Change in OM/Pi ViewMail dialog:
When clicking on the "delete" icon the mail is deleted after confirmation as usual. But the edit dialog is not closed as before, now the next mail in the folder is shown automatically (if there is any).

Fixed a crash when deleting mail-accounts in OM/Pi.

[ev1l]

Hurray! Thanks for the info you put in your replies to my bug reports.
Installing now, will report back with comments and hopefully not too many bugs
Would you consider re-organizing the main menu to make all items easily accessible with no doubles? Seems better to me than putting the same items everywhere

Silly little bugs (I will transfer them to SF.net when I'm done editing them)

Pwm/Pi: the [Enter] key doesn't work when entering your master password on application startup, you have to use [OK]

Hi zautrix

first of all thanx a lot for the great work. the kopi suite is gorgeous !

one little thing though: in the new releases in the week-view there is above the todo list a line "click to add a new todo" which I rather like to use for the todo list itself. I am mostly using the keyboard to input new todos (ctrl+t). As I didn't find a tick in configuration, maybe it's possible to add this ?

Another question: Do you plan to add PWM/PI to windows ? I really like it on the zaurus and would like to sync to XP

Sorry if I missed this problem somewhere else... I looked everywhere but couldn't find anything involving my problem below:

I have the slightly older version of KDE Pim installed (Version 1.9.13). I am planning on upgrading to the latest, but first I would have to figure out how to do with while preserving my data (appointments, e-mail, etc). But, in the meantime, there is an alarm that has been going off on my Zaurus every few minutes for the last day and I want to find out how to permenantly turn off that alarm!

I get the following window:

CODE

KO/Pi Alarm!  [X] [OK]
---------------
The following event triggered alarm:
Suspended:
<blah blah>
Missed Alarm:

Suspend duration (minutes): [ <N-Minutes> ]

[Suspent] [Stop sound] [Ok]

I've tried pressing all of the buttons, but the alarm keeps coming back. I even disabled the alarm on the calendar.

We have a run-away alarm here... short of uninstalling the KOPI app, how can I get this alarm to go away?... permenantly?

Has this already been previously addressed? (if not, then I'm surprised... although I do have it installed on my MSDOS SD, so maybe that's the problem, since the KDE Pim sometimes has troubl ewriting to the MSDOS filesystem)

If this should be fixed by the latest version, how can I upgrade to teh latest version without losing my data?

Thanks in advance!! (The KDE Pim is AWESOME!!)
