I could not fine any reference to this with search. KDE Korganizer has been ported to the Zaurus for some time. http://korganizer.kde.org/korganizer/download.html (http://korganizer.kde.org/korganizer/download.html)
There is another version named KO/Pi for Platform Independent. It is shown on the above page and the developer has a page here. http://www.pi-sync.net/html/latest.html (http://www.pi-sync.net/html/latest.html) There are newer versions than shown on the page: http://www.pi-sync.net/daunlood/latest/kor..._1.6.0e_arm.ipk (http://www.pi-sync.net/daunlood/latest/korganizer_1.6.0e_arm.ipk) http://www.pi-sync.net/daunlood/latest/kor..._1.6.0e_arm.ipk (http://www.pi-sync.net/daunlood/latest/korganizer-alarm_1.6.0e_arm.ipk)
I have been using this for a couple days and it is great. Others and the author have been on DevNet with some nice feedback. I don\'t know if anyone else saw that DevNet is offline, hopefully temporarily. I\'ll e-mail the author about ZUG.
If you are looking for a PIM that works, with alarms for appointments and todos take a good look at OK/Pi.
-
I saw this at DevNet... Looks very promising, and those talking about it seemed to give it very positive reviews (save not being able to import Sharp/Zaurus data). I\'d be interested in hearing more in depth reviews.
-
save not being able to import Sharp/Zaurus data
It can import from the xml format (Old Sharp ROMs and OZ ROMs), it can also export vCalendar and vCards which Outlook can import. There\'s a plugin for Outlook which allows you to export vCards and vCalendar files (I\'ve not got the link on me, it\'s at home). So although it\'s not syncing, it\'s possible to get data back and forth. I also believe that the Linux situation is better than the Windows situation.

-
After seeing the raves on Zaurus devnet, even I gave it a try. Imported my tkcCalendar data just fine. The tkcTodo data wont be imported since tc broke the older Sharp\'s XML format with todo.
But that was a minor pain for me since I my todo is mostly sparce (lazy me that is :wink: )
And in fact after trying KO/PI (i had loaded the KO/E initially) I am seriously thinking of giving up using the tkcPIM apps for now. One integrated environment for the PIM\'s is what I have been looking for for a long time.
Just a question about the sync options.... Is there any sync solution for Evolution on Linux ?
-
I don\'t use Evolution, but does it use the *.ics file format? And can you tell it the file name to use? If so, you are in luck.
I use KOrganizer and it uses as default either calendar.ics or std.ics; KO/Pi uses mycalendar.ics. I used unison to copy mycalendar.ics to my Linux box, setup KO to use mycalendar.ics, and I have my appointments and todos on both! With unison, I can move the file from desktop to Z and and have a type of sync.
-
What would be the easiest way to migrate my Sharp 3.3 PIM data over to Korganizer. I intellisync with palm desktop on xp but would like to get the data to suse linux deskop korg. Eventually i\'ll try unison for syncing but being a relative linux newbe i wanted to start with something easy (somebody needs to write a zaurus for dummies). I assume korg on the zaurus stores the file somewhere where i could copy and move it to wherever it needs to be for the desktop korg. Thanks

I\'ve just found the ZiCal tool on the web: http://noir.s7.xrea.com/archives/000059.html (http://noir.s7.xrea.com/archives/000059.html)
You can use either Exicte (http://www.excite.co.jp/world/url/, use the right checkbox)
or Bable Fish (http://world.altavista.com/) to translate it. (exicte translates better)
What I understood from the translation is that ZiCal can read ShrapROM’s PIM data
(both the old XML and the new 3.X format) and export it in iCalendar format
(i.e the Korganizer’s native format)
Hope this helps
-
Okay - this is just straight out of my head after playing and setting up a PocketPC - phew :-)
But a small thought emerged in my head - their sync tool (Active Sync) is great, and i was wondering if it would be possible to code(or is it just stupid) a Zaurus program that can communicate with Active Sync and that way fake being a Pocket PC. Thereby one shouldn\'t program anything that talks/works with Outlook and such. I know it might be stupid but just a thought. I must be easier to send and receive using the Active Sync protocol.
-
Interesting idea.
Now we just need some linux enthusiasts that want to write code to sync. with Microsoft ActiveSink
You do realise the next release would be guarnateed not to work.
-
I had previously tried korganizer but it was too slow to use.
Trying 1.5.0 of KO/Pi now, having just exported my DTM calendar+ToDo with zical 0.1.1 (talk about easy, you start the server, telnet to your zaurus, do a wget http://127.0.0.1:8990 (http://127.0.0.1:8990) zaurus.ics and then in KO/Pi do a Load/Save import (*.ics) of zaurus.ics).
...
It does seem worth using, so I\'ll download 1.6.0e and try that out, together with the alarm daemon. To me syncing is not a big must, worst case scenario I backup my zaurus every few days anyway, so I should be able to use the backup mycalendar.ics file in any other program which supports icalendar format.
-
In terms of speed to load, I\'ve added the fast load option by adding the line to the korganizer.desktop -]
CanFastload=1 It consumes about 4 megs of \"free\" memory. The 32 megs of cached stays the same. So far the smaller amount of memory has not been an issue. Since Linux does a better job of memory management hopefully there won\'t be an issue. Best part, no more pregnant pauses when I open my Z in a meeting to check my availability :oops: Don\'t want to take away from the oohs & aahs when I show off the clamshell design!

Will this only work on a C7xx? I tried it on my SL-5500, /home/QTPalmtop/apps/PIM/korganizer.desktop and the option does not appear even after a Qtopia restart or a reboot. Only run as root appears.
I have an 8 mb swapfile in RAM that helps, and will absorb FastLoad penaltiy as well.

Wierd, I\'m a relative Linux newbie but I see no reason why it wouldn\'t work on a 5500. However, I am currently running the Cacko Qtopia ROM, but tKc & Cacko have more in common than differences :wink:
Anyway, the checkbox for fast load appeared after editing the .desktop file, no Qtopia restart required. Check your text editor, perhaps it left some symbol behind Qtopia doesn\'t like.

It is Opie Edit and is supposed to be clean. <shrug> Ok, where we go with vi, ugh!
I don\'t mind vi, it is those obtuse commands on that teensy keyboard, ugh!
That was it, I love vi / I hate vi /I love ..... :wink:
Sweet! thanks.

Trying 1.5.0 of KO/Pi now, having just exported my DTM calendar+ToDo with zical 0.1.1 (talk about easy, you start the server, telnet to your zaurus, do a wget http://127.0.0.1:8990 (http://127.0.0.1:8990) zaurus.ics and then in KO/Pi do a Load/Save import (*.ics) of zaurus.ics).
1st xarope -] forget 1.50 and download the 1.6.0e version, much better
Ok, anybody willing to translate the above for a newbie? I\'ve installed ZiCal and know that I\'ve got to connect to it for it to extract the DTM data. I\'m assuming this will be difficult to do on a winblows box (at work my only option). Can I use PuTTy to wget from the Z from winblows? Is there anyway to extract the data and keep it locally on the Z for import?
Any guidance would be great.

Loks like the ZiCal program is installed on your Z and it exports your DTM (new Sharp PIM db) data over port 8990. So yes as long as you have wget you could use Windows. In fact you could just do it all on your Z (as long as you have wget which I think you should - part of the ipkg process).
Si
-
Ok, I figured it out. You run ZiCal. Then from the konsole run wget http://127.0.0.1:8990/zaurus.ics (http://127.0.0.1:8990/zaurus.ics) and it writes the file to your home directory. No need for an external connection!! Cool, now I can sync Outlook with the Sharp PIM then import into KO/PI Another step closer to seamless syncing !!
Cheers,
Jerry

Oops, that last post was me. Sent from my Z and forgot to login :oops:
Jerry
-
Thanks kris_tz, lardman and Jerry for the help. Appreciate being able to transfer data from sharp pim to korg. A kick to have a japanese icon on my application tab too.
-
Oops forgot to login. Guess Korg has its work cut out organizing me. I also own a samsung i330 palm phone. What a contrast. In the past month i\'ve doubled the speed (preemptive patch), improved browsing significantly (opera 7) got a $30 wireless card (symbol ebay) that i can suspend and turn back on thanks to the latest Sharp ROM upgrade. In the meantime my palm phone has crashed on average weekly needing to restore all applications / data from backup. Oh well, i read on another board about \"shrapnel\" from exploding kyocera palm phones (defective battery). Gives new meaning to the idea of linux being more stable.
-
Anyone notice we\'re on revision G? I just downloaded it and I will test it out
-
Thanks to you I DL\'d and installed. I see suspend (snooze) ability added; change week start for Sun or Mon; locale - time 12/24 hr, date format m/d/Y, d/m/Y, Y/m/d or user define; maybe some other minor changes that I never used before.
Suspend is HUGE for me!
My Zaurus has now become my primary PIM device (used the Palm for workday scheduling since Sharp & tkcPIMs did not cut the mustard). The Zaurus was my secondary work device and primary personal device, now the Zaurus is back to #1 day, evenings, weekends!
-
Yes with zautrix\'s fast pace adding of features, this is becoming my main PIM for todo and calendar. Of course everyone wants syncing, but another feature that might not be too hard add is an alarm light to show that you missed an event.
-
Speaking of... I realized I forgot to e-mail him about ZUG. Just did it now, let\'s hope he shows up to keep the feedback going!
-
I just tried the 1.6 g revision, it is great. I have no problem running on my 5600 using Sharp 1.32 ROM.
The information between alarm and KO/PI seems have some problem. When I choose \"simulate \" from alarm icon, it will call KO/PI, till the page come out, then crash and reboot. I tried to use the 1.5 version of alarm instead, met the same problem. When both KO/PI and alarm using 1.5 version, there was no problem at all.
Even with this error, I will stick with 1.6 g, it is more powerful than 1.5. Great job.
-
I am having problems with 1.6g -- I switched to the 12 hour setting but when entering new appointments the times are still displayed in 24 hour format (e.g. in the boxes where you pick the start/end time of the appointment). I\'ve lost a number of appointments and have experienced other strange behavior.
I will try it again tonight. If I still have problems I will switch back to the 1.6d version.
-
Hi slocaus :-)
Steele:
Try this:
Deinstall the alarm.
Close install app.
Qtopia reboots.
Deinstall KOrganizer.Close install app
Install Korganizer.Close install app
Deinstall Korganizer.Close install app
Install Korganizer.Close install app
Install the alarm.Close install app
Maybe there was a problem, when you updated to the newest version.
Guest:
After a restart, the timeboxes are displayed properly.
What strage behaviour do you have experienced?
-
FYI:
New version h with possible fix of steele\'s crash problem.
Some other fixes.
New possibility to send entries via infrared in the listview per popupmenu.

Hello zautrix, I\'m glad to see you got my email. KO/Pi improvements are very nice, thank you!
-
Above is me. When I click on the zug url in the emails about topic response, it does not read cookie that I\'m logged on. Just figured that out, duh....

zautrix
I\'m glad you came to the ZUG. Thanks for that new revision G, it works great and now Sunday is the first day of the week again.
Greg
-
Zautrix,
Ever since rev G I noticed that my alarms are not working. I can simulate them, but nothing scheduled seems to trigger.
I am on a 760 with tkcROM 2.5.1
-
All, who had problems with the alarm, try
www.pi-sync.net/daunlood/latest/korganizer-alarm_1.6.0h2_arm.ipk
and please write here, whether your problem is solved.
Thx,
z.
-
Nope. I\'m still not getting anything. I wonder if I\'m the only one with this problem.
-
Bluedevil,
is the timer triggering an alarm?
-
yes. The timer works
-
I don\'t know what has changed, but the alarm just went on an event. Let me play over night with it and put it through some more tests.
-
I guess I\'m the success story. Alarms have worked for me since 1.60d, and I think I only had the one TZ issue that \"e\" fixed. I am on a 5500, aren\'t the rest of you guys with alarm probs on C7/8xx devices?
-
Zautrix,
Thanks. Korg is best thing on my zaurus except keyboard and maybe opera7. It would be even better IMHO with a snooze feature in alarm (like Palm and pocketpc) and some customization for the zaurus of the view that has the calander/to do and agenda on one page. For example, an autohide feature for the menu that begins with ME. Anyplace for paypal donations to support Korg. Thanks again
-
Snooze is there now. It is called Suspend when an alarm sounds! You must be a former DateBk5 user, wanting to hide items?
-
zautrix,
Any chance you could implement a small change in the view were the calender + todo show up side by side with the day view right below it? There is a small arrow that lets you hide the calender and todo and display the entire day. Since I have a 5500, it would be nice if there was another arrow that let you hide only the calender -- therefore the todo pane would stretch across the top of the screen and the day view would appear below. Does this make sense?
-
Thanks Slocaus, i read the earlier posts about suspend but did not make the connexn to snooze.
I have heard great things about datebk5 but never tried it. I\'ll download the trial for my samsung i330 palmphone. While i\'m using my zaurus as a primary pda i have the same reminders running on the palmphone (which has a useful vibrate mode). It takes constant bombardment with reminders (or free food) for me not to forget meetings.
-
I noticed it\'s now revision j! Zautrix, you must be working overtime on this project!!!
-
I\'m back at G since H/h2 stopped my alarms on the 5500. I swear, I\'m half step off from the rest of you.
-
@xarope:
;-) no, I am not working overtime, I am just trying to fix some bugs, which I do not have on my C-760
@slocaus
could you please let me know, what exactly happens?
What is working and what is not working?
Is the timer working?
Did you tried the J version?
z.
-
@slocaus
please try KO version 1.6.0k
and the alarm
1.6.0k2
-
Is KO/Pi really platform independent?
Maybe you could give a link to the sources so that we can give a try and compile it for the X11 Rom?
-
http://korganizer.kde.org/korganizer/download.html (http://korganizer.kde.org/korganizer/download.html)
-
The latest sources are
www.pi-sync.net/daunlood/latest/korganizerPi.160k.tar.gz
-
Zautrix,
The alarm works for me on revision k2 and has been working ever since you asked me to test the timer back in in revision h2. Would it be possible that the timer kick started something?
-
I used korganizer 1.5.0 for a couple days and I liked it alot - much better that the original. Then saw that a new 1.6 version was out. I went to uninstall v1.5 but it didn\'t uninstall cleanly (eg desktop icon was still appearing). I manually deleted the installed files and tried to install v1.6x. At each install attempt I get errors. No desktop icon appears. If I try to run from console I receive an error:
error while loading shared libraries: libkdepim.so.1: cannot load shared object file: No such file.
I tried to reinstall v1.5 again but I get the same error. I can install the original korganizer v1.0 without problem. I use the SL5500 with TKC rom v1.0.
Any suggestions to get this to work?
-
@Guest, somewhere above:
Hiding of datenavigator is implemented in version k
@bluedevils
there was a bug in h2 with the alarm.
Is all the alarm/timer/suspend working for you in version k2?
@akira
maybe you have to download the file once again?
Maybe the file you try to install is broken.
-
@zautrix
With the h/h2 version. No alarms sounded ever, no Zaurus wakeup or sound for a scheduled alarm. Forgot to try the timer, sorry. Vesion J is working just fine, including timer, so all is well!
[edit] Oops, let me try k/k2 and report back!
-
@zautrix
Version k/k2 work fine, alarms and timer!
-
Hi zautrix.
I tried v1.6i, v1.6j and the same ipk file I used before to successfully install v1.5.0. None of these will install now. I do not suspect each of these files is corrupted. Other than this Zaurus is functioning normally.
Thanks for the reply.
-
I got my h2 alarm and timer to work and yes k2 works fine too
-
How about adding a link to 1.6.0x? I have been using 1.5.0 for a few weeks and like it alot so newer versions are probably better!
Thanks for the links!

Here is the direct link to \"Latest\"
http://www.pi-sync.net/html/latest.html (http://www.pi-sync.net/html/latest.html)
WAY, better! It will knock your socks off, after 1.50!!!!!!!
-
OK, got it.
It turns out there wasn\'t enough internal memory left with my swap file in RAM. The Z only displayed a \"didn\'t extract all the files\" error when I tried to install. Only just now, after many attempts to install did I discover it after I received a \"not enough internal memory\" error. Wish I thought of that earlier.
-
The above message was mine. I left out my username.

zautrix:
I\'m loving the app, I\'m regularly exporting my Sharp calendar (which is synced to desktop) via ZiCal.
Any chance of making the alarms tone editable so we can have mellower tones if needed?
Keep up the great work and can\'t want to be able to truely sync!
Cheers,
Jerry

What, you wake up a bigwig in a meeting or something?
I\'ve made a couple people jump when mine went off in my pocket! :wink:
-
To change to a mellower sound just change the wave file. Zautrix mentioned this on the devnet, but I guess that got missed here. BTW you could just lower the volume.

qtpalmtop/pics144/korganizer/koalarm.wav
I didn\'t think to look in the pics144 directory :? . Thanks,
Jerry
-
Hmm, actually I found it\'s in the pics/korganizer dir.
-
Hmm, actually I found it\'s in the pics/korganizer dir.
That\'s cause you\'re using the cacko rom. the tkc rom has pics symlinked to pics144 - so they are one and the same for tkc rom users.
Cacko kept them seperate which means that you don\'t get huge icons when running apps in magnified mode.
The quickest way to find a file is
ipkg files korganizer | grep koalarm.wav
-
Weird thing now with k/k2; my alarms stopped working today. Tried every uninstall / install I could think of, nothing worked. I\'m back on version G on my 5500 to get alarms functioning again. humph! I\'m baffled. No new software or other changes made.
-
slocaus:
Do you have created a sub-todo?
Please remove it.
Then the Alarm should work again.
@ALL:
Please do not use Sub-Todos at all!
There is an ugly bug in the subtodo-handling of KOrganizer.
By the way, this bug is in the desktop version as well.
Maybe it is fixed in KDE 3.2 - I do not know.
I will fix this soon.
-
zautrix
No sub-todos created. I have not used sub-todos on my desktop either. I do have the kde 3.2 since I am using Mandrake cooker 10.0 development. Version G does well for me, and there are no other features that I really miss, so I can be patient as you progress.
-
I\'m not sure it\'s a bug or not, I\'ve try to using KO/Pi 1.5. When I input some chinese character, it display correctly, but after I Close and Restart KO/Pi , all Chinese Char Become \"???????\", I\'ve already change all fonts to chinese in Preference.. anyone knows what happen?
-
Hi all,
Is there anyone who can show me step by step how to import data from sharp pim to ko/pi using zical cos i am a complete linux idiot??
TIA.

I think all the steps were explained earlier in this thread, were they not??
-
Ok, I figured it out. You run ZiCal. Then from the konsole run wget http://127.0.0.1:8990/zaurus.ics (http://127.0.0.1:8990/zaurus.ics) and it writes the file to your home directory.

Hi All, I know the question of source code was raised, but has anybody started development on an X11 rom version of this? (Also as I haven\'t got qtopia installed anymore, does kopi maintain addresses/contact details as well?). It looks great by the way.
Cheers
Chris
-
After so many new and wonderful things added to kopi in such a short time, I think I\'m going through withdraw waiting for the next batch of improvements and features.

Have you tried the KO/e version? KO/Pi means Platform independent, so it might work as well. KOrg does not do addresses, you need KAB or Kontacts (all KDE apps o\'course).

Greetings,
I reading all the previous posts, I got 1.6K to work on my 5500 (Sharp 3.? ROM). But then I got greedy and modified the /home/Qtpalmtop/apps/Pim/Korganizer.desktop and change the second line from:
Display = 640x480/144dpi, 480x640/144dpi to
Display = 320x240/144dpi, 480x640/144dpi
and add the line
CanFastload = 1
at the bottom.
Korganizer didn;t work after that so I reintalled it. Didn\'t work. Downloaded the .ipk again and didn\'t work.
When I runt the program from terminal, I got the following error message:
korganizer: error while loading shared libraries: libkdepim.so.1: cannot load shared object file: no suchfile or directory
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
FW

You couldn\'t have read all the posts becasue akira28 had the same error message. see the post on page 4. I believe his solution was
\"OK, got it.
It turns out there wasn\'t enough internal memory left with my swap file in RAM. The Z only displayed a \"didn\'t extract all the files\" error when I tried to install. Only just now, after many attempts to install did I discover it after I received a \"not enough internal memory\" error. Wish I thought of that earlier. \"
If you have a 5x00 series Z I would strongly think this is the reason.

Bluedevils,
Thanks for pointing out akira28\'s post. However, I didn\'t receive any error message when I was installing the package (at least not on screen). I just did a check and below is the memory status AFTER the install:
Used (12720 kB)
Buffers (1888 kB)
Cached (15360 kB)
Free (2124 kB)
Right before the install the \"Free\" is about 23xx kB. Shouldn\'t that be enough?
Or if anyone can tell me how to install from the terminal then I can see if I actually got any error message during the installation.
Thanks for helping out a newbie,
FW
-
hmmm... I would think that would be enough. You downloaded the app again so I\'m assuming it is not a corrupt file. Just in case. Try taking anything on fastload off and free up some more memory or you could install a memory applet.
http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1235 (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1235)
Your symptoms seem to indicate that not all the files are being unpackaged. I\'m not sure why.
We were all newbies once and I\'m certainly no expert.
-
Importing from Sharp PIMs to Korganizer with Zical couldn\'t be
easier. Just run and start Zical, go to shell in the Zaurus and type:
$ wget http://localhost:8990/zaurus.ics (http://localhost:8990/zaurus.ics)
And voila, you\'ve got a Ko/PI importable zaurus.ics file
in your working directory. I just did it and it worked like
a charm.

You also have to check how much internal storage you have. Even if you install to the sd card, the zaurus will unpack the files in /tmp. You have plenty of ram free,so that isn\'t your problem.
-
An update to my situation:
I downloaded the ipk file again to another SD card and installed it in internal memory(it won;t allow me to install to SD). Clicking on the icon still doesn\'t work but miraculously I can start it up in terminal and use it. How can I debug it now?
And to respond to zbones\' post, I have about 17M left in the internal storage after the installation. So I highly doubt it\'s a memory problem.
I am baffled....

FYI: New version at

@zautrix
Wow! Look at all you have done! I\'m downloading it all now, and will see what new goodies we have to use. Nice changes to the website too. I share your dream.
-
Great work zautrix.
I share your dream
-
Does someone have it running on OZ 3.3.5?
-
So far everything is great with two minor issues, one my configuration.
1- The KAB-Qtopia does not work. It gives the error that the KAB-Opie pluging in not installed, but I have Qtopia address still, not Opie. Is the Qtopia plugin looking for DTM or XML format?
I\'ll mess with that and maybe try Opie Address, who knows.
2- Impatient to sync, and I need to alter my setup for no password on scp/ssh. I do have ssh, scp, rsync setup from previous, but all with password. I\'ll modiify my ssh setup later.
Important part is that alarms work for me now, first time since version G. wooo hoo
@ bluedevils, your withdrawl can end.
@zautrix, great work indeed!

My message above. Something about clicking the embedded url out of my mailer (Sylphhed-Claws) means cookies get missed (Mozilla FireFox) under linux. Other forum lists see me, and ZUG in my browser is fine. Uggh!

I had the same \'non-installed\' issue when i tried with KABCQtopia + TKC-PIM bundle.
It works great with KABCOpie + opie-addressse (1.0.3)
-
Got it! ssh/scp sync works!
-
Nice! The one day I decide not to check for a new version! Zautrix, I like what you\'ve done to the site. Much better graphics. I shall try the syncing later....It sucks working when so many people have the day off (President\'s day in the US)
@ bluedevils, your withdrawl can end. :)
@zautrix, great work indeed!
-
Got it! ssh/scp sync works! :)
Did you get the address book plugin for Qtopia to work? I\'m getting the install libraries error, even though they are installed in the correct directory.
Cheers,
Jerry

I get the same error even though I installed the plug-in.

Installed with no errors, but not working.
-
The qtopia plugin may work only with pre DTM versions of the PIM programs.
(i.e. with XML based adressbook )
The plugins will be installed in ($QTDIR)/plugins/korganizer.
Are the plugins really there?
A guy reported, that he is using tkcAB on Sharp-Rom on a 760.
He installed the opie-libs and the opie-plugins works with the tkcAB.
Sorry - I have no more hints for you.
I am using 760/Sharp Rom and have installed libopie, the opie addressbook and the opie-plugin.
That works for me.
-
The qtopia plugin may work only with pre DTM versions of the PIM programs.
That explains it, I\'m using the DTM Sharp PIMs on Cacko Qtopia ROM. How do you sync the Opie addressbook (or perhaps with what )
Anyway, great work zautrix Your app is the best PIM out there so far.
Cheers,
Jerry
-
Doh! that was me above ^^^^^^^^
-
I don\'t have opie addybook, but I have TKCaddressbook which is also xml. The opiekabc plugin works for me.
-
I guess it is time to look at the Opie AB. I will (hope??) that I might finally be able to use something from the $60 I wasted on tkc apps, if the pim import/convert tool will get my Sharp DTM data back to XML. I\'ve stll got all the Sharp PIM installed since that is how Proto packaged it with the ROM.
Only reluctance is that the Sharp mail looks at the dtm addressbook for e-mail addresses. Ok, so anyone have Opie mail 1.0 or 1.0.3 working with tkcROM and does it use the Opie XML addressbook? I only need pop3 now, (bought tckMail when I needed SSL/IMAP). I just refuse to use tkc stuff out of principle now, and I don\'t want anyone who sees my Zaurus to want to buy tkc (tkc is pretty, but all sizzle with no steak).
KOrg/Pi is just so incredible and fixes/improvements really happen. I just cannot say enough about how I appreciate your work zautrix!
-
I managed to install KO/Pi 1.6.1a on OpenZaurus 3.3.5 by symlinking /mnt/ram/opt/Qtopia to /mnt/ram/opt/QtPalmtop It runs but without pictures on toolbar and in menu (I had 1.6k on SharpROM few days ago).
What I have to change?
And second thing - can it be set to other encoding then iso-8859-1? I use iso-8859-2 (don\'t plan to go to UTF-8).

Hi all,
I\'ve been curious: is it possible to sync this software with a web server? The idea I\'ve been interested in is to be able to view/add/edit/delete on a webpage and sync with it, so I can always browse my calendar and todo\'s regardless of what platform I\'m on. Are there iCal compatible open source projects for web that perhaps can use unison or rsync with to do all of this?
Thanks,
steven
-
@steven/guest
I was using unison before zautrix got the sync to work. Unison is not a true sync (transferring changes/new between local and remote and resolve conflicts), but a file copy. I did scheduling on my destktop evening and next morning, unison ical file to zaurus, use zaurus during day, then unison ical file to desktop in the evening. KOrg on linux destktop.
You might want to look at MultiSync for what you are asking. http://multisync.sourceforge.net/ (http://multisync.sourceforge.net/)
I have not used it, but it is multi-platform.
-
Three things:
1 Great App! What a change from its earlier state. Wow! (\'\') Have installed on 5500 with Proto\'s ROM and everything works, including the alarms! But now I am stuck with my stock Sharp PIM (which \"had been\" enough for me) and this great new KO/Pi. However, (\':arrow:\')
2 I find that the last icon all the way to the right cannot be \"clicked\" with my stylus. I have redone my touchscreen settings, and am still unable to select it.
3 OK, so I have ZiCal on my Z. My \"dumb\" question... do I type the shell command on my Z or on my PC and need the Z in the cradle? In other words, which Sharp file is being exported... and what do I do once it is? I know that this is basic, but that is where I am... sorry! (and be aware that I am still under the spell of Windows... sorry! sorry! :roll:
-
revdjenk,
The only thing I hoping for in the alarms is the flashing LED light to tell me I missed an alarm. Useful in noisy environments,.
zical is on the Z. You extract the file from zical through an interface (wget) on the Z. cradle or not. No interaction with the PC.

Have you tried Mozilla\'s calendar? It uses the iCalendar as a native format.
Moreover Mozilla supports various platforms
-
korganizer has a web export
http://korganizer.kde.org/features/webexport.html (http://korganizer.kde.org/features/webexport.html)
But I don\'t think you can sync through the web interface.
Reading the mozilla website seems to indicate that their calendar is in beta
-
Yes, I commented on this on the tkc mailing-list and Shawn promptly shut it if off again. I find it ridiculous they\'ve not implemented syncing or any of the other stuff they promised after several months. WTF? One guy alone has been pumping out significantly improved versions of KO/PI whereas tkc seems to be pre-occupied with writing new programs to continue what looks like a scam to me. It takes them weeks to implement the most trivial change whereas zautrix has fixed bugs and implemented simple requests in a day. Don\'t even start on IMAP.
That reminds me, THANK YOU VERY MUCH ZAUTRIX for making my Zaurus something more than a (in retrospect) dumb impulse buy.

The KCal Export and Mozilla Calendar weren\'t quite what I was thinking (though they\'re both interesting in themselves). I thought about it some more, and the closest thing I can think of was back in the day when Palm had their Palm.com site that you could sync up to (yahoo used to have it too). You could enter/edit data on the web. It\'d be a nice solution for me as I\'d rather not have to sync up to multiple systems (Win2k at work, Linux at home), I could just sync to a webserver, and access the data from either home at work via web (I don\'t mind the web interface). Looking around, I found:
http://phpicalendar.sourceforge.net/nuke/ (http://phpicalendar.sourceforge.net/nuke/)
from Apple\'s iCal page. It\'d be neat to be able to sync with this guy! =) (Something to put down on the \"hack in my freetime\" list)
Thanks,
steven
-
I wasn\'t going to say this, but outlook has a web interface. We use it at work, but you can\'t sync just make and edit entries.
-
The phpicalendar app above is cool for viewing your .ics file from Ko/Pi. Haven\'t figured out a good way to sync it yet. Also, I downloaded several .ics calendar files from .... gulp.... Apple... but there was a bit of funkyness going on with the dates.
I haven\'t researched enough but are there several .ics formats or is there an way to easily re-format .ics files for Ko/Pi?
I also have tried every pim available for the Zaurus, including a few bucks spent at TKC. Ko/Pi is the best by far.
I did, however have a couple quirks with it. When I restart the machine, Ko/Pi would start up. Also, if you use fastload, you cannot copy over the .ics file. If you unload fastload, you can update to your hearts content.
Ko/Pi is great with fastload, but fairly useless without.
All these issues were with korganizer_1.6.0d_arm.ipk. I will try korganizer_1.6.1a_arm.ipk tonight. Thanks again for the great app.
-
Fastload is what causes KO/Pi to startup when Qtopia re/starts. Sharp did some tricks I understand that kept their fastloaded PIMS from that behavior. (old DevNet discussion that I cannot find)
I have KO/Pi with fastload and it syncs just fine for me.(??)
-
Yep, it is me, again.
Thanks for all your help! Zical worked... Ladybug\'s command line worked... I had been selecting the calendar.ics file all along! Duh!
Now I see! I even use the What\'s Next as an opening screen....
So I can dump my Sharp PIM, right? What replaces the addressbook, now?
-
Hi, super newbi here. Can someone please tell me where the shell is to be found in the zaurus.
I\'m trying to use LadyBug\'s method of syncing KO/PI, using ZiCal.
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys. It\'s me again. My question again is in refrence to syncing from my Zaurus to Outlook. I mean syncing the information that is on my Zaurus to Outlook. After opening the File menu and clicking on import ICal and VCal, there seems to be no aption for getting the informqtion from my device to Outlook. I know that I am doing something wron, but I do not know what. Please help. Thanks.

Hi, there is a new EXPERIMENTAL version available.
It may have repainting bugs and other bugs.
I believe, the repainting works fine, but I may be wrong.
Main new features:
Loading/saving 4-5 times faster.
Repainting/scrolling agenda 5-10 times faster.
Alarm deamon has possibility to play wav files for 5600er user
(Menu: Play beeps - Replay - *.wav file )
For every alarm, a specific wav file or a program to run can be specified.
The alarm is now completely independent from KO/Pi libs.
I.e. it will run without an installed KO/Pi.
(But be quite useless ...)
This version is incompatible to the previous version, you have to reinstall alarm and adressbook plugin.

-
Zautrix,
Very nice on my 5500. So far so good, we will see if it wakes me tomorrow! I did have to install a second time after I backed up my data with 1.6.1a, and then restore with 1.6.1c after configuring TZ to get my times correct.
Oh wow! Test alarm just went off, and nice that you have the light working!
-
LIGHTS!!! Yes! Thanks Zautrix. This has now made all other calender/todo apps obsolete for me.
Sorry for not posting in your forum, but the first most obvious bug for me is the todos viewed in the alldayagenda section. I have two or three overdue todos, but on startup at least they show one of the todos two or three times instead. If I switch between views, it seems to clear up.
-
Great improvements zautrix. As a project manager, I\'m constantly using your program and loving every minute of it. One simple question. Where can I get the plug-ins necessary to use the address portion of the program. As everyone know by now, I am a newbie.
Thanks again.
Keep up the excellent work.

I have already installed them, but still I get his message. I guess I have a step missing or I have done something wrong.
Please help again.
Thanks
-
Keep getting what message?? I\'m a little lost now.......
The plugins just access the addressbook you have, not a KO/Pi addressbook, and let you select names and e-mail address for Attendees. It will pop up a pick list.
Or am I missing something still...???
-

IIRC the Sharp DTM-based address book is not supported. Reading back through this thread says that only the XML-based ones are supported.
-
Thanks re410. I guess I was not clear enough. Well I\'ll wait untill DTM address book is supported.
Thanks again.

Ugh, ok, I see now. Sorry I added to the confusion above, thinking that the qtopia one supported DTM.

You can copy the mycalendar.ics to your desktop computer, then import into Outlook, unfortunately this is not syncing and if there are duplicate events in your Outlook, you\'ll have duplicate entries once you import. So far there is no way to truly sync with Outlook. What I do is maintain my calendar on my desktop PC, then export the ics file from Outlook, copy it to my Z, delete the mycalendar.ics file, then import the outlook.ics file into KO/PI. If I make changes in my KO/PI, I have to manually re-enter them into Outlook before I export from Outlook.
-
Thanks Jerrybme.

Help!!! I had to to do a hard reset on my 5500 and when I added the opie Konsole it says that I need another program, orsomething to that nature. As of now I can\'t even open the terminal.

Another newbie problem. I\'m having trouble installing zical on my Z. Can you please tell me what the procedure is? I can\'t seem to remember how I did it the first time.
-
A quick search of the forums didn\'t turn anything up on this so I thought I would mention it.
Here (http://outport.sourceforge.net/) is a link to a win32 app on sourceforge.net call Outport. It exports Outlook data through Outlook\'s COM interface to a variety of formats, including .ics. Though it states \"Evolution Calendar\", the resulting ics file works fine in kopi as well. At least it does on my 860.
Hope this helps someone.
-

Can KO/PI truly sync with the ics file or do the time stamps get set on export from Outlook?
-
as far as i know, ko/pi does not sync with anything, on a windows or linux platform. you can take the file that ko/pi uses (the .ics file) and copy it to another machine or vice versa, but there is no true synchronization.
All outport does is take the calendar information in Outlook and put it in a file that ko/pi uses.

I have true sync with KOrganizer to my Linux box! KO/Pi is the port of KOrganizer from x86 to ARM. I can make changes/additions in either my desktop or my Zaurus, and at sync, KO/Pi will ask what to do (user setting) if there are conflicts.
ZAUTRIX was able to get true, real, actual, honest-to-god sync working if you sync with linux! I don\'t know about others since all I use is Linux.
-
Hi,
a new version with less bugs ( e.g. the crash when deleting events is fixed )
is available at
www.pi-sync.net/daunlood/latest/korganizer_1.6.1d_arm.ipk
The latest sources are
www.pi-sync.net/daunlood/latest/korgenizerPi.161d.tar.gz
I have fixed most of the repainting bugs, but when moving todos in the all-day agenda, there are still (repainting) bugs.
The version 1.6.1d is compatible with the 1.6.1c alarm/addressbook-plugins.
Ko/Pi actually syncs with every local *.ics file.
It syncs with a remote *.ics file via ssh.
z.
-

oops. my mistake.
It\'s very cool that we zaurus users finally have a strong calendaring / todo app and the fact that is does sync is putting it over the edge.
great work zautrix

I have a feature request. Would it be possible to set a default suspend time that will come up in the alarm dialog?
I find the 7 minutes difficult to change while the alarm is sounding, and if I silence the alarm, of course it cannot be changed. When I need to suspend an alarm, I find that 30 minutes is what I need, but I\'m sure we all have our favorite procrastination time.
-
Hello everybody,
I\'ve written a little command line tool to generate vCalendar records for public holidays (especially variable ones like Easter), anniversaries, etc from tab separated text files. I\'ve written it primarily for my personal needs, so the sample file contains rules for German, Austrian and Swiss holidays. Yet it should be adaptable for other countries, too. It has been successfully tested with the latest version of KO/Pi. Please tell me your experiences.

Hi zautrix. Once again thanks for your outstanding app. It works great on my 5500, even though I can\'t get my Z info. to Outlook. I am new and do not know how to configure this process. As of today ZiCal is not installed on my 5500 because I have forgotten how to install it. Between juggling work and a 22 month old, need I saw, I have my hands full. Even though many \"Zeers\" have helped me, on these two issues I must admit, I am still at a lost.
Thanks
-
Is there any way that one can use the address book in this app. I have the sharp 3:10 rom?
Thanks
-
@manfly Not with the addressbook you have since the KO/Pi plugins cannot handle DTM data format.
You would have to install the Opie or ABook or something that uses the XML format. There was a xml2dtm data converter program out there, but I have not seen one that goes the other way.
-
^^^^^^^^^
me again
-
Thanks guys. Here is another problem. I downloaded the lates KO/PI 1-e. Problem. can\'t open the app. Any ideas?
Thanks
-
what version rom on which Z? On my Z kopi is installed into a separate PIM tab and I move it into the main PIM tab. every time I upgrade I have to move kopi into the main PIM tab because the old icon does not always work.
-
The latest KoPI (the e-version) works just fine here on my 760 with the newest Cacko ROM.
No problems whatsoever.
- LadyBug
-
@guest - what does your memory useage show? Do you have a swapfile? You might uninstall, reboot the Z and reinstall. I did have that happen with KO/Pi back a couple versions, and reboot before install worked.
@bludevils - I changed and used the KO/Pi tab as my \"PIM\" tab, moved all my other \"pim\" apps to the new tab and deleted the \"old pim\" tab. Now I don\'t have to move it each time I install.
I am having no problems of any kind now on my 5500, using FastLoad and a 16M swap file. The screenwrites seem to be solved wth version \"e\". Alarms all work fine, and I\'m syncing a couple times a day with KOrg on my desktop.
Great job, zautrix!!
-
Hi slocaus,
there were repainting bugs in the allday part of the agenda.
I hope, I have fixed all of them.
I have also added a button \"stop sound\" to the alarm dialog.
Please downlaod the new version 1.6.2a from

-
@havoc: zautrix is da MAN! This work has made a huge impact on PIM usefulness on the Zaurus, everything was either mediocre or problematic before.
@ zautrix, The stop alarm is perfect, just what I was asking to have. I did see a couple screenwrite things on 1.6.1e, but not consistently and only during alarms. I have had 2 alarms now with 1.6.2a, and screenwrites are fine. Seconding havoc, this is a remarkable program that you are providing to the Zaurus community and we cannot thank you enough for the quality of it!!!
-
@havoc: zautrix is da MAN! This work has made a huge impact on PIM usefulness on the Zaurus, everything was either mediocre or problematic before.
I hate to be redundant, but..... slocaus, I have to disagree with you, but only in the most positive way.
Other Zaurus PIM software is mostly abysmal. In fact, in comparison, PIM software on the Palm is abysmal!
Korganizer is a great desktop PIM, but until zautrix performed the miracle of porting it to platform independence, it was \"just another PIM.\" On the Zaurus, it\'s like wings!
zautrix, I can\'t praise your work of extending the Korganizer\'s usefulness by putting it on my pocket enough.
-

Well, on the Palm you must have never used DateBk3,4,5?
That is wonderful software, but now KO/Pi gives me the same functionality, thanks to all its features, including the integrated ToDo - with alarms even!
I bought $60.00 worth of theKompany PIMs and kick myself every day for the waste of money. Went back to the Sharp PIMs - at least they worked as advertised (in Sharps owner docs). Can\'t say that for tkc PIMs!!
I heartly agree, KO/Pi is like wings in your pocket, couldn\'t have said it better.
-
zautrix,
Those guys are correct in heaping praises for you. Within a short amount of time you are in the Zaurus Hall of Fame.
with 1.6.2a, any movement going from landscape to portrait mode, the app only uses the top 3/4 of the screen. This is with or without vertical mode. If I start the app in portrait mode, it starts off fine. Going to lanscape from portrait utilizes the full screen.
The menu icons go missing with any change between landscape and portait mode. I believe they are there, but they are not drawn.
-
Hi guys,
thank you for your words!
New version 1.6.3a available!
I think, now I can start using my 760er and KO/Pi seriously.
When I used KO/Pi two weeks ago for the first time seriously, I noticed the lack of quickly managing categories. After fixing the f%&&?%!$ing repaint problems, I have implemented the features I missed. It is category handling, beaming ( with different configurations, e.g. mobile phones do ignore timezone settings) and quick moving of events/todos.
For more information, please look at
http://www.pi-sync.net/html/_latest_ko_pi.html (http://www.pi-sync.net/html/_latest_ko_pi.html)
I think, I will not do much more improvements to KO/pi in the next time.
The only thing I will do is adding configuration possibilities for several sync-profiles.
And fix the saving bug on windows, such that we all can start using KO/Pi on windows. ( I will make then an executeable windows version downloadable ).
And maybe later I will try to make KO/Pi synchronizing directly with Outlook 2002 ( = Outlook XP ).
Have fun with KO/Pi and please report problems in the forum of www.pi-sync.net
bluedevils, I hope, the mode change problem, you mentioned, is fixed. But I cannot reproduce the problem of the icons.
z.
-
Excellent zautrix,
all the bugs I have reported have been squashed. A compiled windows version and sync with outlook directly are very cool ambitions.
Does this mean you will be ramping development on ka/pi?
Just like OZ I wouldn\'t want to see you get burnt out. I\'m not a developer, but is there something I or the community could do besides bug reports?
-
zautrix: I agree with all of the praise above. Any idea why KO/PI won\'t sync with Mozilla Calendar ics files? I\'ve been wanting to be able to synce with my linux, XP boxes and potentially over the web anywhere.
-
Great software gives you the magic feeling of having a brand new machine. Between zautrix (KO/Pi) and Tumnus (2x speed ROM fixes) thats how my Z feels. Thx
-
This version doesnt work as well for me
as the last. On my SL5600 (latest Sharp
ROM), when I click around the calendar
views a bit, the application will suddenly
iconize (the window goes away but
theres still a taskbar icon). If I click on
the taskbar icon, the app relaunches as if it wasnt really running.
-
Hi bluedevils,
there is already another guy working on KA/Pi. But I do not know how much succes he has already.
I think, it would be great, if you, or the community writes a list of FAQ, that can be put on the website.
To get summarized all the questions in this thread would be a good start.
@jerrybme:
No idea why this is not working. I do not know anything about Mozilla Calendar files. But I fixed something in the libs, may it is working with 1.6.3b.
Please try. If it does not work, please write a detailed description, what is not working.
@bender647:
I found a crash possibility and fixed it.
Please try new version 1.6.3b and report, if it works.
@all:
Phew - I found the ugly bug on Windows, the Windows version is available now!
One step ahead to the Pi ( = platform-independent ) in KO/Pi ...

Seems like a good idea. I\'ll try to start one tonight.

1.6.3a on pdazdom .. amazing.
this should put a ! on all those pim questions!
I\'ll give this thing a thorough thrashing -- but it looks absolutely amazing.
thank you.

ps: thanks sashz

zautrix: Upgraded to latest, still no joy. Get \"Sync cancelled of failed. Nothing synced\" message. Tried running kopi from command line but it produced no error messages during process.
I\'m attaching the mozilla ics file I\'m trying to sync with in case you want to look at the file to see what is different.
Er, no I\'m not. Keep getting ics extension not allowed from ZUG... If you want to see a sample mozilla ics file there are lots of holiday ics files for download on their site.
Cheers

@bender647:
I found a crash possibility and fixed it.
Please try new version 1.6.3b and report, if it works.
z.
Thanks very much, the b version
doesnt crash. It did shift all my
appointments to Oslo time, but Ive
reset my time zone and expect when I
get to work tommorow I can grab back
my calendar and all will be right.
Thanks again.

Hi zautrixsan. Like everyone on the planet, my compliments on the upgrade. I have only one problem. Every time I Install qtopia-rotation, 1.5.0 on my 5500/rom 3:10, I cN;T OPEN YOUR APP. The hour glass comes on, but nothing happens. Can you please help?
Thanks
-
hi manfly2000,
sorry, I have no idea, what may happen on your machine.
Do you have FastLoad option enabled?
z.
-
zautrix...
Your win version of ko-pi works on my 98box, not just xp as it states!
-
zautrix,
Tried to leave a message for you in your forums, but that failed for some reason...
Feature request: \"save now\"
Since I\'m running kopi on a 5600, memory is a premium (even with the SD swap partition). Since I have to kill kopi from time to time, it would be really, really nice to have a \"save now\" feature so that I wouldn\'t have to wait until the autosave occurred.
Also, a hotkey that would work on the Crtl-key-less SL-5xxx keyboard would be a big bonus.
thanks,
havoc
-
Havoc, I already answered your question in the pisync forum.
The behaviour of the forum itself it a little bit strange ...
I will add a button \"save\" although it is not neccesary.
Please start KO/Pi, open Help menu, Auto saving ...
and read there the sentence:
\"The data is saved automatically when closing KO/Pi\".
z.
z.
-
To Zautrix......
I do not have fast load enabled. Something intresting that I forgot to mentioned is that this also happens when I install the Targus irk program, OK/PI can\'t be opened. I have to do a soft reset, then I can use your program again. Try using the other programs mentione,...wham!!!..can\'t useyours.
-
z, thanks for the response.
I have kopi set up in in Settings/Launcher.conf so that it starts after boot. When I hit cancel, it goes into the background like a \"quick start\" app. in order to fully close it, I have to kill from command line.
Several times, I\'m \"exited\" kopi, then killed the kopi instance in memory, only to restart it and find my changes lost.
It could just be that I\'ve got it configured wrong.
thanks,
havoc

Zautrix,
Just to let you know that I have started an FAQ. I *hope* to have something for you to post by the end of the weekend.

Bluedevils, be sure to give us a link to your FAQ when it\'s available. Enquiring minds want to know.

I will be giving the faq to zautrix to post on his site.

z: Not that you don\'t rock, but I thought that bluedevils deserved a pat on the back, too.
installing 1.6.5a right now. Will report any problems, issues, or praises.
-
zautrix,
Just installed 1.6.5a, and imported my Sharp DTM. One problem, it seems that \"all day\" events are imported as \"two days\" events :?
Apart from that, it\'s getting better and better. Keep up the good work!
- cortez -
-
Hi cortez,
yes, you are right, there is a problem.
I did not had problems with allday events synced from Outlook to sharp DTM.
But I just fixed the problem.
It occurs, when you create an allday event in the DTM calendar.
Will be fixed in next version, available this weekend.
Thank you for reporting this!
z.
-
Hi Zautrix,
Is it possile to export the Ko/pi calendar back to the DTM format?
could be a confortable interim solution till a true sync with Outlook is available.
Thanks from me too for the great work!
Adalberto
-
zautrix, {voice style=\"Crush, from Finding Nemo\"}You so totally Rock!{/voice} 1.6.5a is fantastic. I\'m looking forward to your hack to allow me to import contacts from Sharp\'s DTM. I\'d rather than kopi like it is now without DTM, than like it was just a few weeks ago, and have DTM.
Here\'s a moto for your project:
\"If you\'re not running KO/PI on your Zaurus, you\'re not really using your Zaurus.\"
-
Did someone manage to sync KO/PI on the Z with the windows version?
As windows does not have ssh/scp, the standard command in Ko/Pi does not work.
We could use pscp from PuttY instead, but how can we tell Ko/Pi to use it, if ever possible?
Adalberto
-
z, my Zaurus (SL-5600) crashed (hung) this morning. The only thing I have been using today is KO/PI. Unfortunately, at this time, that\'s the extent of what I know. If I can learn something useful, I\'ll let you know.
It looks like I didn\'t loose any of the latest changes I had made. When I looked at it, the backlight was on, and the time was ~30 minutes behind (aproximately the last time I\'d had it on). It may have died while saving, or while attempting an alarm.
I did update to the latest ko-alarm when I updated kopi last night.
Each time I update kopi, I remove the installed version before instlalling the new version. I used the same proceedure when updating ko-alarm.
Hope something is useful.

Does anyone have a problem when they uninstall/ upgrade versions? Whenever I uninstall then reinstall my fonts get all small and the colors go away. Also, the buttons on the toolbar don\'t appear (they are there, just no icons). When I try to reboot it just hangs on the splash screen.
This is how I do it:
1) uninstall
2) install upgraded version
3) funky display
4) reboot
5) hung z
anyone?
-
@cortez:
The bug you reported should be fixed in latest version 1.6.5b.
Please update and try again. ( And report, if it is working)
@amdonati:
No, there is currently no possibility to export it back to DTM.
Will be implemented later, maybe.
Depends on how difficult it is.
Syncing with windows:
Just connect your Zaurus via samba to your Windows box.
Then you can access the zaurus from Windows.
Have a SD-Card formatted with ext2 or msdos(FAT) permanently in your zaurus.
Move your (home)/Applications/korganizer directory to a directory on the SD-card.
Make a symlink from (home)/Applications/korganizer to that dir.
Now you can sync from Windows KO/Pi easily with the zaurus (home)/Applications/korganizer/mycalendar.ics file.
@havoc:
No idea, why your zaurus crashed - sorry.
@cgav8r
Please do not de-install the alarm together with kopi. Deinstall the alarm and then close the installation program.
z.
-
Zautrix, thanks for the reply.
Today I sync\'s \"manually (but copying the mycalender file! ) but your solution wseems qutie straightforward.
I\'ll try this later!
Adalberto
-
zautrix: what\'s the reason for formatting the SD to ext2? I already use the method you describe above for syncing with winblows at work with a FAT formatted SD and connect as Storage via USB, works fine as far as I can tell. I\'m hesitant to format my SD card as I\'ve read some have reported their cards get finicky when formated with non FAT file systems.
Cheers,
Jerry
-
Yes, you are right: It should work with a dos formatted sd-card as well.
I will change my posting above.

zautrix
Just installed 1.6.5b and imported my Sharp calendar succesfully. The all-day event bug is fixed. A job well done, works like a charm!
Small(?) request: How hard would it be to build in a \"cross out\" option. In the Psion time, one could mark an entry as completed,
without the entry being removed from the calendar. Crossed out entries appeared with a line through them, and any
alarms for these entries were cancelled. Well, wouldn\'t that be nice? :wink:
-
z, one thought: When you set alarms for all-day events, if you want to be reminded 5 days before your anniversary, you get an alarm at MIDNIGHT! This doesn\'t help me with my relationship with my sweet wife.
If you happen to be tweaking code in the area, it would be sweet if the alarms on all-day events sounded at the \"start-of-working hours.\" I don\'t know if this is a \"feature\" of Korganizer propper, or not. If it\'s a KO feature, it would be nice if you could manage to push this back into the main line.
Tanks!

zautrix, awesome job with kopi. I\'ve retired my tkc apps on my c860 in favor of it. I\'ve got just a couple of minor issues to mention:
- I uncovered an alarm bug today. I have a weekly occurring event that spans ~2 months with a couple of exceptions and an alarm set. The alarm went off today even though this is an exception week.
- A minor feature request: Any chance that alarms (especially for todo\'s) could be alternately set to a specific date & time, rather than being relative to the \"due date\"?
- Another: could the todo category colors (perhaps as an option) be applied as the text foreground color rather than as the background color? (I find the color field that results currently to be visually unappealing.)
- A suggestion: a separate font choice for the small todo view (as on the 7-day display) would be useful, as a bigger font is preferable on the full-screen todo view while a smaller font is preferable on the small view.
- A packaging bug: your ipk installs kopi into a tab called \"Pim\", yet the pre-existing tab name on the Sharp ROM is called \"PIM\". As a result, kopi installs to a new tab that has no icon and no title (there\'s no .directory file in it). If you rename the directory in your ipk to \"PIM\" this will be fixed. Also, could you include \"CanFastload=1\" in the .desktop file, so we don\'t have to add it manually? (Honoring the fast load protocol -- i.e. not displaying on initial fastload & boot -- would be nice too.)
Thanks for all!

z, I got a note from SourceForge.net yesterday (?) that they have made a donation system available to all projects. This might be something worth looking into if you don\'t mind jumping through the hoops if you dont\' already have a sourceforge project established.

I\'m having a problem with ko/pi 1.6.5b on zynergy 5600 ROM. I\'ve used other versions of it successfuly (1.6.3b was the last successful, I think). With the latest version, it won\'t launch from the icon, and from the terminal, I get the following error:
korganizer: error while loading shared libraries: korganizer: undefined symbol : __11KDatePickerP7QWidgetG5QDatePCc
I have alarms 1.6.2b installed, and haven\'t uninstalled it since it came out.
Any idea what could be causing this?
EDIT: As pointed out below, the alarm is 1.6.2a, not b.

I thought the latest alarm was 1.6.2a.

@cortez
I do not understand what you do mean with the \"cross out option\".
Can you give some more information?
@havoc
I see the problem with the allday event alarm as well.
But I have to think about a good solution some time.
Your suggestion with start at working hours is not bad ...
@raybert
- Thank you for finding and reporting the alarm bug.
It should be fixed in 1.6.6b.
I have fixed some more problem with recurring events in 1.6.6b ...
-Your proposal is good!
I will make it configurable in a later version, that the todo category colors (as an option) can be applied as the text foreground color.
- A separate font choice will be useful, I agree!
- The installing in the Pim Tab is no bug. The ROM I am using (Cacko-Qtopia) has the Pim tab. CanFastload=1 is now included.
If you want support KO/Pi, do not make a donation, do just testing the application with some advanced configuration ( as your exeption in recurring events above ) and report bugs if something is not working. That would help me more than some money.
@brycenut
I have no idea what is wrong.

Syncing with DTM on my SL5500 works perfectly. Hats off to you, Zautrix - this is a great piece of software!
I think that db2file was left out of the installation script, so I had to copy this to my bin directory. After doing this, sync worked a treat.
Could I request one minor feature: I\'ve assigned KO/PI to the calendar button, and it would be handy if pressing this button with KO/PI open changed the view, like it does with datebook.
I was holding off using KO/PI until DTM sync was in place, but now it is working it\'s great

Daniel

Awesome! Thanks z!
A suggestion to handle the PIM tab installation: in your package, install the .desktop file to a neutral location; I\'d recommend: $QTHOME/apps/Applications because it will make a good fall-back. Then use a postinst script with something like this:
cd /home/QtPalmtop/apps
if [ -d ./Pim ]; then mv ./Applications/korganizer.desktop ./Pim/.; fi
if [ -d ./PIM ]; then mv ./Applications/korganizer.desktop ./PIM/.; fi
Then, of course, you would also need a postrm script to remove it from whichever location it was installed to; like this:
cd /home/QtPalmtop/apps
if [ -f ./Pim/korganizer.desktop ]; then rm ./Pim/korganizer.desktop; fi
if [ -f ./PIM/korganizer.desktop ]; then rm ./PIM/korganizer.desktop; fi
If you want support KO/Pi, do not make a donation, do just testing the application with some advanced configuration ( as your exeption in recurring events above ) and report bugs if something is not working. That would help me more than some money.
Okay, no problem. I can surely do that!

Excellent Zautrix - thanks for this enhancement. This makes the package usable for me now. I think I suggested this a while back, so I\'m glad you\'ve focussed your energy on the PIM and not the sync mechanism (although, of course, if you still want to make a sync mechanism, by all means!). One question/request: Can you make a flag that auto-syncs to the DTM database upon execution and also upon closing?
Thanks a million!

I certainly agree with the somebody who asked a cross-out
possibility for calendar entries. It was a great feature in Psion
Calendar, and I have suggested it also to the Evolution dev
team (but they\'re busy doing more critical stuff there).
The point being that my calendar also acts as my memory.
If an appointment is canceled, I\'d like to cross it out instead
of deleting it. It\'s the same with paper calendar, do you just
draw a line over an item or take an eraser to wipe it?
This has the good point (especially for me) that I can
look back in time and remember the days better. \"Ah,
this was the day I was supposed to meet client X, but
he canceled and I was doing Y instead\".
Or if I have two or even three events occurring nearly
simultaneously, I can cross out the events I\'m not attending.
The fact that I\'m not attending the function doesn\'t remove
the event nor necessarily the need for me to be aware
of it.
Visually the Psion calendar just drew a horizontal line across
the event name.
-
First, Zautrix thanks this is a great app. I\'ve almost completely abandoned the Sharp Calendar. Can you provide a little more information on the syncing with DTM. I\'ve loaded Ko/Pi 1.6.6b. I can select the Sync with Sharp Calendar function. Then it goes through the Reading events..., Syncing, Adding, Removing and Summary. Summary shows 598 Items added to Local, 606 Items added to remote. Click OK, Shows Writing DTM data but no progress bar like windows above. Then KO/Pi closes. Checking both KO/Pi and Sharp Calendar no data has been transfered from Sharp Calendar to KO/Pi or from KO/Pi to Sharpe Calendar.
Using, 5500 with Sharp 3.1 ROM
Thanks again for a great app and all the hard work.
JPL
-
I do not understand what you do mean with the \"cross out option\".
Can you give some more information?
Crossed out entries are displayed like <STRIKE>Feed dog</STRIKE> in HTML. Instead of deleting the entry, it is just visually marked, indicating a canceled entry, for instance a meeting.

I\'ve just stumbled across this thread, and as I was reading through, I\'ve downloaded ver 1.5 and ZiCal, then uninstalled it and upgraded to 1.6.6! Guess I was just to eager to install KO/Pi before reading the complete thread. I can not believe how impressive this application is....especially now that DTM syncing is available for the 5600.
One bug I noticed during install is that it seems to create a New application Tab called \'Pim\' when I assume its supposed to install into the already existing \'PIM\' tab. It\'s easy enough to move though, so I would say this is a very minor bug.
-
very, very nice! KO/Pi is wonderful!
A couple of things:
- The korganizer.desktop file should have 644 permissions instead of 640 and should belong to group qpe (at least on the C760). I assume that changing the permissions shouldn\'t affect the 5xxx/6xxx series.
- Would it be possible to have a way of using keyboard navigation when the ToDo panel is visible? The up-down keys move between ToDo\'s and the left-right keys between dates, but it would be nice a way of shifting the up-down focus to the appointment panel without using the stylus or closing the ToDo panel. Perhaps using Tab?
- Any news on KAddressBook?
-
@JPL, I\'ve experienced the same problem. The first time i ever synced with DTM went ok, but second time (i only had 7 items to sync) it sat there on the \'writing DTM\' with no progress, then I got a \'Device low on memory, this app is forced to close.\' dialog. KO/Pi was the only thing running at the time.
@ZAUTRIX, How much memory does it use for normal operation? does this memory requirement increase when it is writing to the Sharp DTM?
Thanks
Jason
-
ZAUTRIX, You have a working DTM Read/Write mechanism , so why do you need a separate data base - You can use DTM data base directly and to be in sync all the time ?
thanks,
David .

Hi, I was impressed by the posts here and decided to install KO/Pi to have a trial. I\'ve downloaded v1.6.6b, installed it in my C760 (cacko rom) and DTM-sync with my Sharp Calendar. That could be completed successfully, syncing 580 items to KO/Pi.
However, after getting those 580 items, the s/w became incredibly slow. For every change (like change view, change config, change date, ....), it took a few minutes to finish. Checking the CPU usage, it\'s always 100%.
Anyway this is a very brilliant s/w and it\'s really my dream PIM in Zaurus.
-

I think this allows him to sync with a number of formats (DTM, icalendar etc.)
Dan
-
Yes I think it is better long term solution to use standard formats than use sharp\'s propietary. What\'s to stop sharp from changing again?
-
Ko/Pi is also designed to be cross platform, sharps format is definitely not that.
-
I don\'t think the DTM format supports todo alarms, todo %age task complete and probably some other things I haven\'t discovered yet.
I would be quite happy to use the DTM syncronization method currently implemented if it would actually work. After yesterday\'s attempt, I thought I\'d try again. This time, when trying to write the DTM, the Zaurus locked up for about a minute, the rebooted. I didnt have any other apps running, so i didnt lose anything.
This looks like an excellent package, but unfortunately it\'s rendered completely unuseable to me because of this instability.
Zautrix, keep up the good work....I hope you can find out what the bug is. if you need me to help with testing, let me know.
Jason

Hi, thanks a lot for your feedback.
There is some strange problem when syncing.
Until this is not solved, I advice to consider the syncing with DTM as \"experimental\".
@danr
Strange, that the db2file was left out when installing.
What do you mean exactly with your minor feature request?
@raybert
your suggestion with the pre/post scripts are good.
I will try to implement this later.
@LadyBug
Thank your for the explanation of the \"cross out\".
It sounds very useful to me.
I have to think about how to implement this.
But I have added the \"cross out\" to my \"todo\" list.
@jpl
There is some problem, when writing data back DTM data.
KO/Pi crashes when writing back data.
Unfortunately, it does work almost every time on my 760.
I did see this only a few times.
It is hard to reproduce for me.
@cortez
I guess, you do mean something like LadyBug has mentioned.
This sounds useful for me.
@Morpheus
The installation in Pim is no bug, I have the Pim Tab on my machine ( 760 with cacko-qtopia rom 1.18
@mcamou
Thx for the permission hints.
I did not see anything from the addressbook yet, but the guy working on it wrote, that there may be a very first version in 3 or 4 weeks.
@Morpheus
Thanks for the \'Device low on memory\' hint.
I will look at this, maybe it helps to find the problem why KO/Pi is crashing when symcing.
@david_dahan
The DTM does not support much features.
The standard for storing calendar data is iCal, which is using KO/Pi.
@snufkin
Yes ther is a problem when syncing.
;aybe your hint about the 100% cpu usage helps to find the problem.
@bluedevils
Thanks for starting the FAQ. I have got your mail.
I want to insert this later directly in the KO/Pi Help menu.

@zautrix, HI!, everything is working fine for me on my 5500. I did see one thing last night, not really a bug, and since I was one of the first synching, thanks to linux, others will probably not see it, unless something changes in synching like it did for me.
After I did the synch using 1.66b, I see the record \"(1/1):ssh-scp - last synch event\". The record from the previous sync, \"(1/1): last synch event\", was not removed as it always was before, probably because of the different woding for different types of synch with DTM now. Anyway I deleted the old record in KOrganizer (can\'t do it in KO/Pi) on my Linux desktop, synced again and all is well.
@Morpheus - I changed and used the KO/Pi tab as my \"PIM\" tab, moved all my other \"pim\" apps to the new tab and deleted the \"old pim\" tab. Now I don\'t have to move it each time I install. I suspect this is some difference between 55/56xx and the C7/8xx models.
-
@slocaus:
Yes, sorry, this was my mistake ...
I have used some \"tricks\" for syncing with DTM. One is the introduction of several \"last synch events\" for syncing with different types.
I forgot to implement to remove the \"last synch event\" used before. You can do this by yourself. ( Hehe - not in KO/Pi - it is write protected ).
For syncing with sharp, I have now a \"sharp DTM - last synch event\". I am collecting the Sharp -IDs of all the events, that you delete on KO/Pi and that are already in the sharp DTM in the description of the \"sharp DTM - last synch event\". To be able to delete them on DTM after next sync as well.
@All:
I have fixed something in KO/Pi, please download 1.6.6c and try syncing with DTM again.
It is does not crash,
please create a new event in KO/Pi and check, whether it is synced to DTM.
If if does crash, please start KO/Pi from console and let me know the output.
Thx.

Zautrix: you rock...
I just tried 1.6.6b and c. Both versions seem to have the wrong (no execute) on the db2 import file.
Also, the second time I did a sync in korganizer with the dtm, kopi decided that all local entries should be deleted (repeat syncs said nothing needed to be done) - deleting the ics file and resync\'ing got my data back.
kopi was extremely slow (I stopped counting after 5 minutes) with each operation with my full calendar data. Deleting my calendar dtm files and resync\'ing with outlook and limited data set produced reasonable speed. Before shrinking my data, my dtm file was around 600k and the corresponding ics file was over 1.4M, after my dtm is about 100k with the ics at around 280k. This seems like quite a dramatic multiple, why? I\'d like to bring my historical data back in, is there a way to improve performance with this?
Feature request:
The best view for me seems to be the \'what\'s next\' view - is there a way to change/add/whatever the \"in x days\" to mention the corresponding day of the week (i.e. Monday)?
kopi is incredible, thanks for all the hard work. Jon

@danr
Strange, that the db2file was left out when installing.
What do you mean exactly with your minor feature request?
I think what actually happened was the db2file binary wasn\'t set with execute permissions, so when I tried running it from the command line, it couldn\'t be found in my path, so I copied it over manually.
My request is this: if you use some of the Sharp apps, such as datebook or addressbook, pressing the key which loaded up the app (such as the calendar button) will change the view in the app itself. I thought this would be a useful addition to KO/Pi, whereby if it\'s assigned to the calendar button, pressing this button when it\'s loaded will alternate between different views (being able to select which views to alternate between would be even better!)
I\'d like to say a big thanks for continuing your improvements of KO/Pi. I\'ve released GPL software myself in the past and know what it\'s like to receive lots of support requests, so hats off to your continuing enthusiasm.

My DTM info transferred synced, but then kopi and the sharp PIM became completely slow. I was patient and it sometimes took 15 minutes for the app to respond. I restored my data and I have cleared the sharp DTM. I\'ll try to sync later to find out if that has any effect.
-
Hi,
I have found and fixed many bugs in the DTM syncing.
It should work now much better.
I think, I have fixed the crash as well, because I have changed DTM access a little.
I have added the \"Cancel\" (Cross-out) Option for events/todos. Cancelled events are displayed stricked out. And alarms of cancelled events/todos are ignored .
I added config options for the todo-view and for the month-view.
You get a new event in the month view, if you click in a cell on the number of the date.

Thanks man, it\'s great to have this back!
-
Zautrix,
Appreciate your great work! I\'ve downloaded the latest version (1.6.7a) and it seems no significant change. Syncing with DTM seems no problem to me but after syncing, the speed is extremely slow.
I have 583 items synced to KO/Pi and the mycalendar.ics is around 262k bytes. Frankly, I don\'t know whether the slow speed is caused by DTM sync or not.
I ran it in console and nothing strange came out.
-
Zautrix, You are a Star!! The DTM sync worked flawlessly. Now I can really start to use this cool PIM.
I have a small request: When I sync the DTM, an appointment is created as I expected, but it has a duration of 2 hrs. Could you change the default duration of this to something less obtrusive. 15 or 30 minutes max would be preferred.
Thanks again for an excellent application.
Jason
-
Zautrix,
Just put 1.6.7a on and it works great. Thanks for all the great work. Apparently my former problem was related to an old icon I had that never got refreshed, as the new icon created by 1.6.7a works, and the older one still doesn\'t. Regarding launching from a terminal, I realized I had been trying to launch with the command \"korganizer\", which still gives me the same message, rather than \"kopi\", which starts it fine.
Again, thanks for the great work. It\'s a very nice piece of software.

Missing libqpepim. I just installed the addressbook plugin, but I got a message saying Plugin Missing when I try to use it. The message also says the Qtopia plugin requires libqpepim. Is this what I need? if so, where do I get it from?
Jason
-
The Qtopia addressbook plugin is for Qtopia Pim, not for Sharp-DTM Pim.
I should change the error message of the plugin ....
-
yes the sync is a definite bonus, but it does bring an old problem to the fore front. How do you maintain sync and not have two PIMs alarm you? On the surface it seems like a bit of a catch 22
-
Canceling a repeat event cancels every single future event. Could this behavior be changed to canceling only the event chosen? For example, I have a class next Tuesday that was cancelled. I marked it as cancelled in KO/Pi but that had the effect of marking every single future class as cancelled -- I only wanted to make a single class as cancelled not all of them!
I\'ve also noticed one of the configuration screens (the date format screen) kind of looks ugly because the example string runs right off screen on the 5500. You might consider removing this or changing it so it looks better.
Thanks for all the hard work.
-
Hi elvis,
yes the recurrence handling is not optimal.
Your suggestion is good, but it is not possible to do this in the used data structure of ical files.
I have added the following:
Now you can move recurring enents in Agenda View. It you move a recurring event, the date is added automatically to the exception list of dates for the recurrence and a new non-recurring clone is created.
Now you have changed the time/date of one recurrence.
If you do want to remove it completely, just delete the newly created non-recurring clone.
(Or move it back and cancel it ).
All:
As mentioned above, 1.6.7b is available. New features:
Now saving of descriptions/journals to plain text file is possible: In listview/searchlist select some entries. Choose pulldown menu Save Journal/Description. Second big change: Now you can move recurring events in Agenda View. It you move a recurring event, the date is added automatically to the exception list of dates for the recurrence and a new non-recurring clone is created.
I have compiled a new version for windows as well, such that you are up to date on windoos too.
z.
-
zautrix,
haveyou also solved the slow speed problem in this release? i\'d love to be a volunteer to test it
-
@snufkin:
No I did not solve this.
I do not get the problem when syncing.
Please provide some more information:
Is the speed normal after restarting KO/Pi?
What is the free memory before/after?
What is the memory used by KO/Pi before after?
What is your hardware/ROM?
I had the following problem:
When I tried to delete all data in DTM, I did get the error message:
Cannot delete data, not enough free memory available.
That sounds to me quite stupid.
I guess, there may be some problems in general accessing the DTM database.
And maybe I cannot fix the sppeed problem at all ... but I do not know this now.
z.
-
@snufkin:
Please provide some more information:
Is the speed normal after restarting KO/Pi?
No, it\'s still very slow after restarting. If Fastload is enabled, it takes several mins to start... :cry:
What is the free memory before/after?
Before (fast load disabled) = 19722
After = 3804
What is the memory used by KO/Pi before after?
Before (fast load disabled) = 0
After = 38%Mem, 96%CPU
What is your hardware/ROM?
C760, Cack rom v1.18
Anyway, your work is great and I do really hope I can use my Z for PIM. It\'s now more like a terminal than a PDA.
-
well, when the app stops responding (or very very slow response), the CPU usage used by kopi keeps at high (]90%) even if I haven\'t pressed anything
-
Hi snufkin,
there seems to be a problem when KO/Pi is loading a particular appointment, which is not loaded correctly.
The easiest way would be, that you send me your ics file such that I can debug this.
If you do not want to send your private data, you could remove half of the events in the ics file.
If loading is then correctly, the particular appointment was in the other half.
You could then proceed with the other half, until you found the particular appointment.
Then you could send this appointment to me such that I am able to debug this ugly bug.
I guess, it is an appointment with a recurrence ...
z.

This is a normal appointment on 2003-12-06 but it is mis-converted to a recurrent event. Also it seems that the DTSTART and DTEND are in wrong syntax.
In the description, it should be \"Chuang Yuen\" Japanese. A \" is missing. Also, there should be a long description instead of just 3 words.
That\'s what I\'ve found. After deleting this appointment, the app is great. Now, I can finally use my Z as a PDA. With KO/Pi, my C760 becomes a perfect machine! 8)
zautrix, you are the star!!
-
Thx snufkin,
that was the bug:
The leading \" caused a mis-conversion.
I could reproduce the bug with a leading \" and I have already fixed it.
It should work in the next version.
I have considered the case, that a \" is in the text, but not in front of the text ... such as life.
Or better : Such as programming ;-)

@anyone...I\'m encountering an error when installing v1.6.7b
I uninstalled v 1.6.2a of ko/pi and alarm and installed v1.6.7b and I\'m now getting the following error when installing to internal:
\"The extract of some files are failed. This application may not execute normally. When you cannot operate the application, please remove it.\"
After hitting \"OK\", I get the following \'Install error\':
\"This package seems to depends on other packages. Please install them, too.\"
What other packages might I need? Or is there some clean-up I need to do because v1.6.2a did not uninstall cleanly?
Nathan
SL-5500, tkcRom
-
Yes, it seems v1.6.2a did not uninstall cleanly.
Or your downloaded file is corrupt.
v1.6.7b should work.
But you do not need to uninstall the alarm until there is a new version.
And please uninstall the alarm not together with KO/Pi.
When uninstalling the alarm, qtopia rebbots and KO/Pi may be not uninstalled cleanly.
z.

@zautrix
What do I need to do to completely uninstall v1.6.2a? Which files and where are they located?
Nathan

Zautrix , I can not install the KO/Pi on the SD card (ext2 formated), it can be installed only in the internal memory. Is there any reason for that ?
Great PIM application , thank you for all .

Hi snufkin,
the \"mis-converting\" bug should be fixed now in 1.7.0a.
It would be great, if you try again and report, if it works.
z.
-
zautrix,
that\'s great! my problem solved now.
btw, it seems that the file saving time is longer than previous. now it takes ]20 sec to save the file but in 1.6.7 it took only a few sec. anyway, this is not so critical to me and now I can fully rely on my C760 as PDA.
-
zautrix,
btw, it seems that the file saving time is longer than previous. now it takes ]20 sec to save the file but in 1.6.7 it took only a few sec.
Oh yes, indeed!
Thx for the hint.
I will make the faster saving and encoding optional configureable, such that we ( who do not need the Unicode encoding) get a faster saving again.

TOO COOL! I just installed 1.7.0b and downloaded the windows version also. Now I can sync with a file on my Linux Users Group account from my Windows PC at work. When I\'m at home I can sync the Z to the same file from my wireless home network. I ran into a few problems and thought I would post my solutions FYI.
Had to copy the mycalendar.ics file to my LUG (Linux Users Group) account.
Downloaded PUTTY which included the program PSCP.exe
Copied PSCP.exe to c:winnt and renamed it scp.exe so KoPi could use it.
Had to use the short name path in the \"Local Temp File\" settings.
For me it was C:Docume~1DDavenportkorganizertempsyncfile.ics
On the Zaurus I never got prompted for a password. The command that KoPi issued with my password did not seem to work either. I had to use ssh-keygen and set up my LUG account and the Zaurus for a no-password login.
---
Just have to say it works great! Awsome software. Many thanks to the people involved.
-
First of all, let me say that I installed 1.7.0b last night, and this is a great app. Thank you very much, zautrix, for the app and the apparent active maintenance. Now that I\'ve given you your strokes, please allow me to be critical.
I\'m trying to sync with iCal on Mac OS X 10.2.8. After having some problems, I created an empty .ics file on the Mac and synced with that. No problem. I can sync as many times as I want. The synced file on the Mac is pretty much the same size as on the Z. This is around 140KB! Seems like there\'s something strange with that; I don\'t think I have that many meetings. I run iCal, and a number of meetings are duplicates, all starting and ending at the same time. KO/Pi doesn\'t show the duplicates, but iCal does. I quit iCal, and the .ics file is 22KB. I can sync, and no changes are made to either the iCal or Z calendars.
Now, I attempt to delete a duplicated meeting on iCal. I do so, quit iCal, and then attempt to sync. KO/Pi crashes. A quick check shows that the iCal .ics file was copied to the Z, so the crash must have occurred during the reconciliation process.
So, what gives? I\'d be happy to email you both files or check specific things in the files; just let me know. I scanned through the files a bit, but they\'re too large for anything to pop out as wrong.
-
I have two requests for todos:
1. Repeating todos. For example, one that reminds me each month to pay the mortgage.
2. Ability to reduce the todos shown in all views to only those due within a certain number of days (or, at least, only those past their start dates).
-
Quick question. Using landscape mode. Is there a way to some how minimize the size of the screen so all to the KO/PI functions came be seen? It seems that the Zaurus screen size is not enough to see the complete KO/PI screen.
Hope I explained myself correctly.
thanks
-
Can one of the moderators just sticky this thread? I think it\'s important/popular enough to warrant that.
Yz
-
@dino:
thx for the info!
@stiber:
there is already a thread about syncing with iCal.
Please look in the Mac Issues forum.
(KO/Pi can sync with iCal)
iCal has a really strange behaviour.
Currently I do not have the time to fix these iCal Problems.
Maybe the thread in the Mac forum may help you.
Repeating todos would be great, but I do not have the time to implement this now.
Maybe I can implement it in some months...
@manfly2000:
Sorry, but the landscape mode is not useable on a 320x240 display.
It took me hours to make KO/Pi useable on non-landscape mode for the 240x320 display.
Probably it would take days to make it useable on landscape mode as well ...
z.
-
Hi, First ... awsome app!!! KO/Pi is easily the application I use the most.
Some ideas/tweaks I\'d like to see to improve the UI a bit:
o keyboard shortcut for adding a sub-todo item
o in whats next view, for the tasks show the hierachy of parents in bracets eg \"chocolate (shopping/)\" this will give context.
o sub-todo inherits categories from parent
o for project management it would be quite helpful to be able to focus to one todo and it\'s children (ie only show that task and it\'s children)
o The filters are kind of weak at the moment, possible improvements ...
- a way of getting directly to edit filters, from either menu or keyboard
- more options on filters ... eg filtering on priority/due date/location/overdue, automatic inclusion of subtasks etc, etc
o in find dialog, would be nice if return in the search string was hooked up to find action, similarly with OK button (currently it just closes the dialog)
o a way of previewing the alarm that is set
Anyway, great work on KO/Pi
cheers,
Alexei
-
Hi Alexei,
thank you for your suggestions.
Suggestions to make KO/Pi more userfriendly are always appreciated.
I implemented this morning some of your suggestions
(while having my morning coffee...).
The next version will be available in some days, I have implemented new configuration possibilities for several sync profiles ( and a multiple sync possibility ).
It will take some time to test the new sync functionality...
o keyboard shortcut for adding a sub-todo item
- <ctrl> (or <shift>) s in next version.
o in whats next view, for the tasks show the hierachy of parents in bracets eg \"chocolate (shopping/)\" this will give context.
- I implemented a hierachy view of sub-todos in whats next view.
A sub-todo, which is not shown below its parent in this view( because of parent has lower prio ), is show as chocolate [shopping] in this view.
( As you suggested ).
o sub-todo inherits categories from parent
- Useful. Implemented in next version.
o for project management it would be quite helpful to be able to focus to one todo and it\'s children (ie only show that task and it\'s children)
- This will not be implemented.
Please define a categorie ( in the listview you can set categories for multiple entries quickly ) and use a filter for this problem.
o The filters are kind of weak at the moment, possible improvements ...
- a way of getting directly to edit filters, from either menu or keyboard
- <ctrl> (or <shift>) f in next version.
- more options on filters ... eg filtering on priority/due date/location/overdue, automatic inclusion of subtasks etc, etc
- would be useful. Maybe I will add some settings later ...
o in find dialog, would be nice if return in the search string was hooked up to find action, similarly with OK button (currently it just closes the dialog)
- fixed in next version
o a way of previewing the alarm that is set
- would be useful. Maybe I will add this later ...

Hi
Love Korganizer
From time to time, Korganizer locks at startup and won\'t start until I reboot (Z 5500, Sharp 3.1). The icon changes to the start icon, but it doesn\'t proceed from there. Most times it works fine, although slower to start than the proprietary Sharp organizer. I\'m suspecting it may be a memory issue as I have very little memory left free when Korganizer is running.
Cheers

zautrix, after upgrading to 1.70, the time required to save the data file jumped from ~7 seconds to ~70 seconds. I checked the size of the file, and it is has grown, but not by an order of magnitude.
Something makes me think that there could be some external factor involved in this, or it may be something in the data that has caused things to slow down. During the file writing process, the Zaurus is completely unusable and unresponsive.
Got any thoughts on that?

Help-]FAQ-]
Q:
Saving of data is very slow. Is there a possibility to make it faster?
A:
As the default, KO/Pi saves the text as Unicode if needed.
This is needed for Korean and other asian languages for instance.
If you use english (or german or other similar languages),
you may try the \'Quick save\' option. It works for these languages without
problem and is up to four times faster when saving.
Choose: Menu: Actions-Configure. Second tab ( Locale ).
Enable Quick save ( w/o Unicode).
===] Oh-yes!!! ;-)
-
Zautrix,
What is the status of remainders working in the win version of KoPi? I am only missing that to completely \"forget\" Outlook\" but without the reminder popups it is a bit less useful...
Thanks for the great work!
ps: Well,having icons linked to appointments, like in the good old DateBK would be very nice too! ;-)
Adalberto
-
zautrix, I love you!
How many times have you had to answer that question? Ack!

Well, I know that the FAQ say that the alarm/reminder function is not ready yet, but it is a quite important function for a Calendar.
I like Ko/Pi and would like to use it fully on all my systems!
My was only asking what the scheudle is for adding this function!
Cheers,
Adalberto

Hi amdonati,
I agree, that alarm/reminder function is a quite important function for a Calendar.
I hope to get it working on windows ( you will need to have KO/Pi running ) in 1-2 weeks.
Are you Italian speeking?

Are there any plans for a plug-in for the Sharp DTM-style addressbook? I\'m using KO/PI religiously now for my todo/event manager and the sync functionality has worked flawlessly. Just wish I had access to the contacts in the addressbook. Keep up the good work, Zautrix!
-
Hi Zautrix and thanks for the update on the alarm implementation!
I do not think that having Kopi running would be an issue,a s it is the same with Outlook and Notes!
An alarm applet would be nice, but for me it is a very low priority now.
I am italian indeed, so I could help with the translation, just tell me where to look!
Cheers,

Anyone have a version of KO/PI compiled with gcc 3.x that can be used with OZ 3.36pre2 without requiring the compat-lib hack? I am having trouble getting the alarm to work correctly.
Thanks!

BTW, I have a small problem with Ko/Pi sync. I got a sync via ssh to work today with Linux Korganizer.
However, the transferred entries have time difference of -3hrs (i.e an appointment at 12 noon in Zaurus
is marked to start at 9am in the desktop Korganizer).
It must be some kind of time zone + daylight savings issue, but right now I don\'t know whether it\'s
Ko/PI 1.7.0b or Korganizer 2.3.1. The date in both zaurus and Linux is correct, Ko/PI location is
marked as Helsinki, Finland (GMT +2hrs plus daylight savings). Has anyone else noticed this?

3 hours diff is exactly the diff from Helsinki, Finland+daylight to GMT, the default setting in desktop KO.
You have to set the timezine in desktop KO as well.

Zautrix,
thanks a lot for the windows update with alarm enbled! :-)
It works very well.
Do you think it would be possible to:
1) make the alarm popup window appear in front of all other open windows (like Outlook does), it is not alaways immediate to see that the taskbar is blinking telling you that something is happening in Kopi!
2) If Kopi is not running when the alarm is activated, than it is never activated again. Would it be possible to have Kopi check, at start, if some alarms where missed because of it not running and trigger the alarm for them (like, again, done in Outlook)
Thanks again for your great work in Kopi!
Adalberto
PS: I am always available to help in translating Kopi into Italian.

Hi amdonati,
I have fixed the problem, that the dialog is not in front of all other open windows.
Please download version 1.7.5 ( without beta ).

Two other guys (mevely&psionX) wanted to start a french translation as well... but I see, you are already in contact with them in the french PDA forum, arn\'t you?
The difference is, that maybe usertranslation.txt contains more words at the ends of the file.
And , that is important, all translation separators are \",\" without a space between the two \".
z.
P.S.:
And all files with a beginning // are remove.

I have added the \"Cancel\" (Cross-out) Option for events/todos. Cancelled events are displayed stricked out. And alarms of cancelled events/todos are ignored.
Any chance this can be enhanced slightly...?
I would like the ability to cancel a single one of a repeating event - most other PIMs normally offer 4 options when cancelling:
- Cancel just this one event
- Cancel all occurence of this event
- Cancel this and future events
- Cancel this and previous events
Obviously, to achieve this either the single date is excluded from the repeat and a new single entry is created, or the repeating event is split into two.
This mainly happens when your boss cancels a weekly meeting, but only for that one week, and you want to show in your diary that you are no longer busy.
To everyone else: FYI 1.7.6d is out, although mainly the changes are minor (except printing under Windows).
Thanks

zautrix: any progress indication of sync with Windows? ;-)
-
Any chance this can be enhanced slightly...?
no
That\'s a shame - is there a technical reason for that (eg it would break syncing) or is it something else?

Why should I?
Please feel free to implement it yourself.
I have implemented all the stuff, I was missing.
I do not see ANY reason, why I should implement something, which can be done by the user quickly in two or three steps.
Or just use the \"most other tools\", which does this support! *LOL*

Thanks to the folks who mentioned Zical (and to the program author!). I had been looking for a way to easily print/export my Zaurus Calendar content. Zical makes it easy.... just take the output *.ics file that Zical makes and read it into your favorite calendar tool. I happen to use the cal extension from Mozilla. Despite giving me a lot of warnings read the output from Zical w/o any problems.

Indeed - it was only after posting that I realised that the functionality is there, it just involves a few manual steps.

If anyone else needs to do this, support is already built into the current code...
Simply:
Select the entry that you want to cancel, and drag and drop it to a different day - this automatically sets up an exception on the original recurring event and creates a single event. Now either drag it back to the right day and select \"Toggle Cancel\", or simply delete it.

drag and drop?

drag and drop?
well, it\'s drag and drop on Windows which is where I was testing this

Works the same on my c760 as it does on Windows. Thanks for highlighting this issue, I was wondering how to accomplish that very thing.

I couldn\'t drag and drop to a different day, but I found that I could \"drag\" the start or end time back and forth would give the same result

Ko-Pi is fantastic! Now if I only had a way to export my Outlook calendar. - I can\'t get Intellistink to work for export of Calendar files to Sharp calendar. Tried everything. It will export addresses/contacts, but not calendar; i keep getting the \"Unable to Complete Request\" error when it is \"Comparing Records\". If only I could do that, an dthen import from Sharp into Ko-Pi, I\'d be in heaven. Anyone care to help? I\'d pay a reward for a solution! Or is there a way to create one *.ics or *.vcs file that Ko-Pi will then import (the thought of importing 1200+ calendar events one-by-one is dreadful).

A suggestion for 1.7.6e. Three more options in the filter were built in this version: show public, private and confidential. However, the default is no show and the setting isn\'t saved after reboot. So, after every reboot, I\'ve to set those setting in my filter or otherwise, no item will be shown.
P.S. before I found this out, that frightened me for a while that I\'ve lost all my data!!

Just found the reason for your problem:
You have FastLoad enabled.
Some settings are not saved with fastload.
I will fix this in the next version.

New version 1.7.7 is available.
No new features - only some bugfixes.
Now KO/Pi on Zaurus should be working with Chinese and other unicode fonts.

How to get source of 1.7.7? On page You give only 1.7.6d sources...

Just follow the download links and 1.7.7 is downloaded.

1.7.7 is only .ipk file and the Windows version - sources are still old...

I recently had a problem syncing to outlook that turned out to be corrupted calendar files. Mikew had a similar problem and believed it was due to KO/Pi DTM sync corrupting the files. I managed to fix the sync by removing the SLDATE files and restarting calendar to create new ones, then resyncing with outlook and KO/Pi.
I'm not really sure what the problem is and I dont understand the format of the DTM file to find the bug either.
Has anyone else seen this problem? I'm using ver 1.7.7

Since so many improvements have been made to the KDE PIM/Pi, I would really suggest upgrading to the current 1.9.3a version (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/) first to see if this solves your situation.
-
Wow, what a whirlwind! I just browsed through this whole thread and am feeling a bit dizzy from the ride.
I'm puzzled, though. Why does the pi-sync.net page have such outdated versions of the things at http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/)? Also, which of the programs for download at the latter location is actually the KO/pi that was being developed by zautrix throughout this thread? The only one actually named KO/pi is for i386 arch. I'm confused.
Anyway, if this program is as cool as it sounds, i'm excited to try it out. Where does one find the FAQ that was mentioned in this thread? It seems things are a bit hard to find.
I assume that the addressbook side of things was whipped into working shape since this thread died?
Thanks
Edit: I see that the "KO/pi KA/pi official announcements thread" is floating around, and seems to be where the party's at these days. Could we maybe pin that one?
KDE/PIM 1.9.2 = KA/Pi (KAddressbook) + KO/Pi + OM/Pi (Opiemail).
Edit2: Answering my confusions: With integrated access from KO/Pi and KA/Pi to OM/Pi and with access from KO/Pi to KA/Pi addresses.
KO/Pi 1.9.2 is KO/PI 1.7.5 with some enhancements/bugfixes.
Wow, those two devs are amazing.
-
FAQ in in the application, once installed on the Zaurus. Clicke Menu -> Help -> FAQ
When KO/Pi added KA/Pi and became KDE PIM/Pi it moved from pi-sync.net to sourceforge.
Clear as mud now?
I use KO & KA/Pi for all my PIM needs every day, all day, day in, day out. It will only get better!
-
i cant wait until ka/pi is on pdaxrom and kde 3.3 is released kitchensync will be great.
-
I like slocaus use KO/Pi & KA/Pi for all my diary & address book requirements & sync KO/Pi with Outlook via the Sharp app.
Has anyone managed to sync KA/Pi with Outllook address book directly or via Sharp app., tried once but failed, I have re-entered about 50 entries but want to avoid manually entering the other 800 entries.

-
Ugh, Outlook (making sign of the cross at arms length).
Ulf stated that he is working on sync. I use linux with KOrg and KAB under FluxBox actually, and sync KO/Pi directly. Using Unison to share addressbook between the Zaurus and PC myself. I think we have to be a bit more patient for KA/Pi sync in any form.
-
Yo slocaus,
I've got a gentoo box (actually 2 gentoo and 1 slackware) and I use kontact within fluxbox. what verbage do you use to unison. I tried it once and there were no errors, but I didn't notice any changes.

Hi,
you can use Windows version of KA/Pi to import all contact data from Outlook.
After that you can copy the file to your Zaurus.
How to do that, you can read here:

Because I was developing the programs and not updating the internet site...

I agree that the site was confusing.
I have redesigned www.pi-sync.net a bit and updated with the latest info.
I have rearranged the project names at sourceforge as well.
Hope now it is no more confusing ...
You can have a look at the new site at

Thanks for that zautrix, it may work, although Outlook gets it's data from an Exchange server, so I may have to export the file at work & import into my home PC.

I am required to use Outlook at work as my email front end from Exchange. Is there a possibility that there will be a way to sync directly from Outlook to KDE-Pim/Pi?

No, syncing with Outlook is not implemented yet.
It will be available later this year.
Maybe in some months.

I copy /home/zaurus/kdepim/apps/kabc/std.vcf to /home/<user>/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf
After my initial import of the address csv into KA/Pi on the Zaurus, I do all my addressbook editing on the Z for consistency, and then fire up unison in a window and then always copy Z to desktop.

Hi. I'm really enjoying using KO/PI - thanks to the guys who developed and adapted this for the Zaurus.
I have one problem, which I'm sure is easily solved, but I can't figure out how.
If someone sends me an appointment by IR beam, it ends up in the Sharp DTM calendar, and not in my KO/PI diary.
In theory, I could then sync KO/PI with the DTM file, but that intermittently doesn't work and loses all my data, so I'd rather not.
Is there a way to "tell" my Z to give an incoming appointment to KO/PI rather than to the Sharp app? I suspect this is a QT setting, but I can't figure out where.

Hello Owen,
thanks for the request.
Please put it into sourceforge at
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=63695...103&func=browse (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=636954&group_id=104103&func=browse)
Zaurus and I do not monitor the forums every day and inquiries might get lost if you post them just in the forum.
thanks,
Ulf

Hello Owen,
i'm using KOPim/Pi quiet a lot (best Pim for handhelds i ever used!) and i transferred many selected appointments from my palm by ir.
in fact, there's an easy workaround for your problem:
When ir-receive is completed and you're asked to add to calendar, just don't. Instead leave by tapping OK in the upper right corner.
That leaves a .vcs file in /home/tmp/obex witch you can easily import to KOpi from its file menue.
Have fun with KOPi
And Thanks to Zautrix, Ulf1 and all who helped with kopim/pi

Thanks Ulf and jesizmi for the replies. I see the feature request is already logged in sourceforge, so I won't duplicate that. And I'll try out jesizmi's workaround.

Actually part of the problem was that I tried korganizer first and did not realize that std.ics~ was a key file for synchronization. Yes I've also since learned to unison from the desktop (though the transfer is Z to desktop).
Thanks
Zautrix,
I'm curious as to why kopi uses mycalendar.ics and korganizer uses std.ics. It would make rsyncing easier if they were both std.ics

I encountered an Error 39 Initializing Folder error when using K Opie Mail. I wrote more about it on this post <here> (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7030&st=75) . Does anyone know what the problem/solution is? Has anyone else encountered this (or a similar) problem?
Thanks in advance!
