I tried to do this with todo list, and i am pretty sure, when i tap todo, the opie, todo starts, by the way, it cannot be good, because the empty xml file i touched got it's headers, but it's empty, but evo has todos in the todo list. If i put a todo on my z, it appears on evolution, i checked in multisync, that i want to see my stuff in both places.

I use 1.03-1 from cacko feed and evolution 1.4.3-6 from debian stable. Evolution 2 did some extrange things when trying to sync: The contacts appear with a "/" next to the surname. With Evolution 1.4.3 I can sync in both places but i need to reboot the addressbok aplication.

I managed to get forward with this thing, now the sync works. I see my todo entries in evolution, and evolution's todo gets into the todolist.xml file. I thought i succeeded. But not. When i start todo list on my z, it doesn't show the evolution tasks, only those i typed in on the zaurus, but in the xml, there is the evo task. Anybody know anything about this problem? I have got an sl-c760 with cacko 1.22

This seems to be ok, on the evolution side, it's ok. But when i start opie-todolist on the zaurus only sample zaurus task shows up. I am using mulktisync 0.83 and evolution 1.4.6 on a gentoo box.

I discovered az intesting thing, it works after a reboot, but i don't want to reboot my pda after every syncing. Can something like, update datat from xml can be done for pim apps? I would like to create an icon for for example a shell script on the pim tab. Not just todo list produces this, calendar, and contacts too. I am using the opie pim apps, and an other problem is that addressbook runs only in qvga (the magnify screen cannot be unchecked), if i run it from konsole, it is perfect.

Can you recommend anything for the refresh / qvga problem?

I forgot that i am using cacko 1.22 lite version.

You can kill the addressbook process instead of rebooting.Close the addressbook, go to Settings tab and click on System info. Then open the Process tab and send the SIGKILL signal to the addresbook application. Restart the addressbook.
Also you can open a console and write "killall addresbook" and then restart the program. The contacts should appear now.

As I recall from when I used Opie PIMs+ Evolution you might have problems with your changes being synced if while syncing:

1. The opie PIMs are running.
2. The opie PIMs are fastloaded.

This is because the PIM xml files are opened while the apps are running. When you sync with Multisync, Multisync just copies xml file saved on flash and syncs it with Evolution and then writes the changed file back. If the file is opened in the PIM apps they will write back the old version on exit.

petya · « **Reply #38 on:** February 08, 2005, 01:35:22 pm »

that's it, fastload will be the problem, how can i disable this in cacko lite? tap and hold thing doesn't work. What about the qvga address book (tap and hold doesn't work)?
