Hi,
thanks to all testers of the previous versions!
I hope we will soon have a stable 2.0 version.
Now Addressbook syncing is available!
Please test!
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ckage_id=112604 (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=112604)
New in 1.9.6:
Fixed some bugs.
Addressbook syncing now possible!
You can sync with Sharp DTM on the Zaurus and
with another *.vcf file, like another KA/Pi file or a *.vcf file from the KDE-KAdressbook desktop version.
Known problem with Sharp_DTM sync: Categories KA/Pi -> SharpDTM is not yet working.
Please read KO/Pi sync HowTo to get some information how to sync.
Documentation in KA/Pi about syncing will follow.
Windows version will follow.
New in 1.9.5b:
Added windows versions to the release.
Fixed some minor bugs.
Added config settings (font settings) to OM/Pi.
New in 1.9.5a:
Fixed a bug in KO/Pi in the SharpDTM sync of version 1.9.5.
Fixed an old bug in KO/Pi in the SharpDTM sync when writing back the data to DTM.
Fixed some small bugs.
KA/Pi shows now the birthday in summary view.
Now OM/Pi and KA/Pi are using the date format defined in KO/Pi
for displaying dates.
New in 1.9.5:
Many bugfixes.
Better mail downloading in OM/Pi.
First experimental alpha version of sync of KO/Pi with mobile phones.
See gammu documentation for supported phones.
You need to install the package kammu_1.9.5_arm.ipk for sync of KO/Pi with mobile phones. kammu_1.9.5_arm.ipk needs libbluetooth and libsdp.
Quick hint how to use:
NOTE: MOBILE PHONE SYNC IS EXPERIMENTAL!
Install kammu_1.9.5_arm.ipk , libbluetooth and libsdp.
Create syncprofile - mobile device
Remove entry for model. (Leave empty ).
Enable infrared on Zaurus and your Phone.
Sync.
To get a more detailed log, start kopi from konsole.
Changes from 1.9.3 to 1.9.4
WARNING:
PLEASE BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA!
We have changed a lot and maybe there are some unknown problems.
SYNC DATA STORAGE HAS CHANGED!
If you have synced already with version 1.9.3, you will get duplicated entries after the first sync, because the syncing of version 1.9.3 is not detected.
After another sync the behaviour should be as expected when syncing.
SOLUTION:
If you have already synced with 1.9.3, please remove duplicate entries on one of the devices before the first sync. After the first sync, you will have the same data on both devices again.
And syncing should work as usual.( I.e. no entries are duplicated ).
(This change was introduced to make it possible to sync with mobile phones, which will be available later (maybe in 4 weeks).
You need the kmicrokdelibs_1.9.4_arm.ipk as a base for the other programs.
If you get the error: "Install only possible in main memory", just try it again to install it on SD card. That worked for me. And it was reported that rebooting Qtopia did help in this case as well.
As programs are available:
KO/Pi (korganizer ipk) - a calendar program.
KA/Pi (kaddressbook ipk ) - an addressbook
OM/Pi (kopiemail ipk ) an email program with pop/smtp and IMAP support.
An alarm notification program ( korganizer-alarm ipk ) for KO/Pi that notifies you about alarms, even if the Zaurus is in suspend mode.
(If you do not see an icon in the taskbar after installing korganizer-alarm, please restart Qtopia)
All the applications are installed in a "Pim" TAB.
If this TAB is new on your system, you can get an icon in this TAB by installing pim_TAB_icon_1.9.4_arm.ipk
All the application are integrated.
Such that you can choose in KO/Pi the attendees of a meeting from the addresses in KA/Pi. When you click in KA/Pi on the email address, OM/Pi is started to write the mail.
HINT:
If you install KPhone/Pi 0.9.7, it will be called, if you click in KA/Pi on a phone number.
What's new?

(This change was introduced to make it possible to sync with mobile phones, which will be available later (maybe in 4 weeks).
New in OM/Pi:
When copying(i.e. downloading mails) , you can specify, that only mails of a given size should be downloaded. Added mail copy possibility for selected mails.
New in KO/Pi:
French is now available for KO/Pi.
Choose menu:Actions - Configure:TAB locale
Quick filter access now available via the menu.
Syncing has changed.
Phone sync available soon.
Not much changes, I cannot remember them ...
New in KA/Pi:
Beaming possible.
Sharp DTM readonly access possible( create a new DTM resource );
Better searching possible.
Search is performed only after pressing the return key.
Use wildcard * to specify parts of a name.
Better name/email selection dialog (called from KO/Pi or OM/Pi). In this dialog, now searching is possible. Like in KA/Pi, use return key and wildcard * .
A big improvement is the new management of the contact access.
In version 1.9.3, every application was using their own addressbook access data.
That means, the addressbook was loaded up to three times in the memory, when accessed by KA/Pi, KO/Pi and OM/Pi.
That was wasting of memory, if you had several hundreds of contacts.
Now only KA/Pi accesses the addressbook.
If KO/Pi or OM/Pi want to get some name/email data, they request KA/Pi to open the name/email selection dialog and send it back to them.
If you click on an attendee in a meeting, its contact data is displayed in KA/Pi directly.
That means, if KO/Pi or OM/Pi want to access contact data, KA/Pi is started first.
New in the KO/Pi alarm applet:
Configure your own timer popup menu!
(Text and minutes for timer countdown)
Just edit the file
(yourhomedir)/.kopialarmtimerrc
and start/stop a timer to get a new menu with the data of this file.
-
COOL!
Thanks for this new version.
So far something that would be nice is that addressbook would (just like korganizer) have a filter (default) to disable showing the sync events. Now every user has to do that for himself.
Anothing this is after pressing edit categories in kaddressbook (through edit contact) the previous selection of categories is lost.
Furthermore I have to say I am very pleased with this realease..
Thanks

Can You implement syncing over SSH? I recent KO/PI I cannot see how to sync other then local file so I have to copy my KOrganizer/KDE 3.3 kal.ics to Zaurus, sync with KO/PI and copy to desktop. With Sync over SSH I can skip copying...
-
Kopi has syncing available over ssh (as wel as ka/pi has).
Select remote file in the profile kind groupbox (go to synchronization preferences).
Than you can select scp/ftp to use syncing.
You need to add the public key of your zaurus to the machine you are syncing with.
And as far as I can tell you can only start syncing on the zaurus.
I really would like a way to start that from my desktop machine since navigation on that one is a lot easier
Hope this helps..

I don't understand your question.
That should be possible already.
The FAQ says:
Q:
How can I sync via ssh?
A:
You must have installed a ssh client on the machine KO/Pi is running.
You must have a ssh server running on the remote machine.
You must have configured your access to the server such that you can
log in from console on the server without a password.
For that reason you have to put some keys on the servers home dir.
Please read docu of ssh how to do that.
There is a detailed ssh howto available at
http://oek.fbl.fh-wiesbaden.de/zaurus/ (http://oek.fbl.fh-wiesbaden.de/zaurus/)
You have to create a "extern file" syncprofile and specify the pre/post sync commands, which actually do the copying.
Does that answer your question?
z.
-
yes - I will try it later
thx
version in OpenEmbedded will be updated soon - I don't have time to track ZUG everyday so sometimes I miss new releases.
UPD: just added KDE/PIM PI to SF monitor so this time I can react faster.

About windows version... there is no possibility to choice configuration folder..
By default, under NT is C:/winnt/profile/name/kdepim , but at office, i work with more than one desktop, and my personnal files are on F:/Profile (F: is a virtual personnal driver, independant of physical desktop). So with last version, i can have KoPi in F:/kopi, but my configuration files and calendar must be duplicate in each desktop.
So, 2 options "default" and "executable path" may be a good solution ??
It's possible...
PS: i suggest on Softmaker forum to see KoPi as a good application.. Texmaker is "a must have" application, but interface is too big or too small. Ko/Pi is a good example for his interface (choice of font size... except pick date editor under windows ).
-
Another great release, I'm really enjoying it. Many, many thanks.
Couple of notes:- In KO/PI, My "Menu" key is still selecting from the Icon bar not the menu bar. And no-one else reports this. It must be me doing something stupid, right?
- The bug I previously encountered where re-opening closed TODOs caused a crash has been fixed! Yay!. However, since I've got "fastload" on for KO/PI, I've now got no way of closing it down. Which is very irritating when I've changed a config setting that requires a restart... (I have to kill the kopi process; choosing "Save&Exit" only does the save part of the equation and hides the app...
- Too early to say for sure, but it does look like it's still fairly memory-hungry...
If I didn't like the suite so much, I wouldn't have spent so long trying to find things to complain about!
Cheers,
Matthew

Disabeling fastload should "unload" that specific program. So that might be a solution you can try..

So, KDE PIM/Pi going to be shrunk down in install size sometime soon, maybe?
Once the whole thing's more around the 4-5 MB or lower mark for the install size (it's up around 8 or so right now...), I think more people will be willing to use it, including me (once it's gotten to 2.0 stable - I need 100% stable stuff, I use the Z for school).
And of course the possibility of a Beam Receive option right in K[O/A]/Pi would be nice too...
-
Chaos: KDEPIM/PI team use one big package for all libs. If you don't need synchronize with mobile phones you can try to remove libmicrogammu and bluetooth libs. If don't use their version of OpieMail then remove also SSL, etpan, mailwrapper libs.

The packages are split to several packages.

Unfortunate... As I have my own custom ROM, giving 8 MB of space to PIM is a little challenging. And having to install from IPKs would be annoying.
Oh well, I guess that can't be avoided with such a complex program...
-
oops - I rechecked that and must back my words.. sorry zautrix
I splitted Your programs into other packages:
kapi - KA/PI + libmicrokabc plugins (file, dir, binary)
kopi - KO/PI
kopi-applet - applet alone
libmicrokabc1 - only libmicrokabc.so
libmicrokcal1 - only libmicrokcal.so
libmicrokdelibs - libmicrokdepim, libmicrokde, libmicroqtcompat
and sometimes I forgot how those apps are linked together..

libmicrokdelibs - libmicrokdepim, libmicrokde, libmicroqtcompat
We have rearranged the linking and interapplication communication of the apps to make them load faster.
Now the linking is as follows:
kopi-applet - applet alone
kapi and kopi are linked to all the other libs, but
kapi is not linked to libmicrokcal.
kopi is not linked to libmicrokabc.

Oooops ...
cleaning up my buildsystem made the microkdelibs package 800kB smaller( after it is installed, not the package file itself).
There was an old lib included, which was renamed and is needed only for phonesyncing in the kammu package.
Is it not possible to install the programs on Sd card?

I have a Zaurus 5000D with the full kdepim/pi stuff installed on SD card. Otherwise I have not enough space/memory left. The 5000D is the smallest zaurus available memory wise that is.
So far I have no problems running it from SD using OZ 3.3.5.
(Wondering though if this package will work on OZ 3.5.1)

Disabeling fastload should "unload" that specific program. So that might be a solution you can try..
Hey, that works!
I learnt something new, thank you very much!
For reference, here's the shortest possible steps to get KO/Pi to shutdown if you'd normally use FastLoad (e.g. in order to re-load preferences):- Go to Launcher, PIM Tab (use "HOME" key)
- Click-and-hold KO/Pi icon to get preferences
- Disable "Fast Load"
- Switch to KO/Pi (e.g. use "Calendar" key if configured)
- Choose "Exit (+ save)" from the "File" Menu
- (KO/Pi shuts down now). Repeat steps 1-3 to re-enable fastload
- Re-start KO/Pi
...And there was me thinking I'd have to reboot to get Qtopia to recognise a change in FastLoad status!

OZ 3.5.1 contain KDEPIM/PI in version 1.9.5 - kopi, kapi, kopi-applet are packaged:
Cool!
Since this application made my zaurus usable for the firsttime, I might think about upgrading OZ.
It would be nice if version 1.9.6 will become available though since it supports addressbook syncing.
Thanks

I sync from windows... so i wait for the new Ka/Pi windows version.
But it's not urgent for me
Choice of configuration folder is more problematic at office

Hi [PROBLEM FIXED: SEE BELOW]
I've broken scp by installing KDE/PIM 1.9.6 and I need some help to get it working again.
First let me say this is a great product, that makes the Zaurus really usable as a PIM, especially for those of us with Linux on the desktop. The diary and address book functionality are superb.
Now, my problem. I held off upgrading from 1.9.3 until address book sync was included. When 1.9.6 came out, I uninstalled 1.9.3 and downloaded and installed KA/PI, KO/PI and OM/PI, as well as the kdemicrolibs.
KA and KO worked fine. I got them to sync with my desktop over SSH.
But OM/PI wouldn't start from Qt. From the command line, it said it missing a library - I think it said libssl.so.0.9.7 (but I didn't make a note). So I downloaded and installed libssl0.9.7b from here:
http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1388 (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1388)
I suspect that might have been a mistake?
Anyway, both SSH and SCP stopped working (and, of course, my sync over SCP stopped working too.)
So I tried to uninstall libssl0.9.7.
I now find that:
- with libssl0.9.7b installed, SSH works; but SCP gives me the following error message " ... scp: undefined symbol: __ciz_tab "
- with libssl0.9.7b not installed, SSH and SCP do not work, with the error message " ... libcrypto.so.0.9.7: cannot load shared object file"
I would really like to get back to having SCP working, so that I can sync across my network. I realise this is only partly related to KDE-PIM, but that is where my troubles began.
Thanks in advance
Owen

Just discovered this post here:
https://www.oesf.org/forums/inde...?showtopic=5590 (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=5590)
which solved my SSH problem completely.
Two other, more minor things.
First, I have lost the icon on my PIM tab. (I tried downloading Pim_TAB_icon_1.9.6_arm.ipk and installing it: doesn't work. Indeed, this may have been what caused it to disappear in the first place)
Second, if I delete a contact from my address book, when I next sync the contact is added back to the file I removed it from, rather than deleted from the other file.
All the best

Ahh! I hadn't made the link between the scp bug and KDE-Pim. I'd been bitten by it too.
In my case, turns out I had another copy of libcrypto.so.0.9.7 on my Z, in /usr/mnt.rom/card/QtPalmtop/lib, which is before /usr/lib in the Library path. ipkg search didn't reveal any owners, so I guess it's from a package I failed to delete properly. mv'ing the file to a .BACKUP fixed the problem for me, without any obvious breakage of apps....

You can delete some of the following Ka/PI related libraries if you have no need for them. But that depends on how and on which OS you are using Ka/Pi.
But it has no influence on the needed main-mamory of Ka/Pi
libmicrokabc_dir - support for Ka/Pi Addressbook storage in dir format.
libmicrokabc_qtopia - support for displaying/import/export/syncing of (old) sharp xml fileformat.
libmicrokabc_opie - support for displaying/import/export/syncing of opie xml file format.
libmicrokabc_sharpdtm - support for displaying/import/export/syncing of new sharp dtm fileformat.
libmicrokabcformat_binary - support to store Ka/Pi Addressbooks in binary format.

Zautrix
Sorry I wasn't clear.
I deleted an entry from the address book in KA/PI on my Zaurus. I then synchronized the Z with my desktop std.vcf file (which still contained the entry) - using the KA/PI sync with remote file facility over SSH. The result of the sync was that the deleted entry was added back to the Zaurus file, rather than deleted from the desktop file.
Does that make sense?

Did you synced already before deleting the item on the Z.?
Or was it the first sync?

I had already synced. I think.
Zautrix: let me see if I can reproduce the problem and then report it in more detail. I don't want to waste any more of your valuable time (when you could, for example, be working on getting KO/PI and KA/PI to receive appointments and VCF cards by infrared beam ) I'll test further and report back.
Just to repeat my earlier post: great work on this. It really makes the Z my indispensable companion.

I have the same problem in KO/Pi. I'm syncing with DTM and every time I delete an entry, no matter it is event or todo, from KO/Pi, the entry will be added next time I sync.
W/o the solution, I have to fallback to use 1.9.3.
Anyway, thanks for your good work.

New Feature ??
There is no possibility to plan integration of linked documents in event view ?
With Qcop ?? like in Ka/Pi. There is a little file manager to open event templates.. It could be possible to linked some files (TexMaker, Hancom sheet, image..) with mimetype association program (or simply, sharp filemanager) launched by click on link in event view... Crazy idea ??
(excuse for my burgundian pseudo english
-
I just thought of a nice feature I'd like to see (if possible).
I know I'm (supposed) to be able to sync from my mobile phone[1], and indeed I know I'm supposed to synchronise everything. But I'm a bit of a data anarchist and I just like to be able to Zap discrete chunks of data around. In particular, I'd like to be able to send one appointment, or event, or to-do, to my phone (or someone's PDA-like device pointed at me). Like I already can with vCards in KA/Pi, I'd like to be able to do so in KO/Pi.
I know I can "Beam Calendar" and "Beam Filtered Calendar", but that's a bunch of events and I just want to send one. If I could work out a filter that worked on time-based events - showing only today's events for example - that might do it.
As it is, I've found I can save an individual event/todo/appointment from within it's edit dialog to a file, then use the Launcher to beam that file to the phone, but that's just messy.
[1] = Every time I try it I get "Sorry, the database access command failed". I think I'm missing a library somewhere...

Hi,
did you realize, that in the context menu of an appointment (tap and hold) there is an option "send via IR" ?
I didn't try it though, just thought it could be, what you're looking for.

am i the only unlucky guy???
after uninstalling 1.9.3 and installing the 1.9.6 (kopi, kapi and ompi), i've found the following problems:
- can't delete records in kopi. the deleted records will be added back after i sync with dtm. pls. refer to my previous post.
- can't open the kapi in gui. i've run kapi once, and only once, from gui and get the addressbook synced with kapi. when i quited and executed again, no luck. when executed in console, i got

You're absolutely right - that does exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the tip!.
However, I now have the slight problem that selecting either of "send with timezone" or "local timezone" results in the time being sent as GMT (UTC). Wheras, here in Englandland, it's now British Summer Time (BST), 1 hour ahead. So all my appointments look an hour early.
So, I *ahem* withdraw my feature request as "error between screen and keyboard" and instead submit a bug that "send as local timezone" doesn't appear to work properly - I can't tell whether that's because it's sending UTC or because it's ignoring Summer Time.
I shall go and stand in a corner with this pointy hat on....

- can't open ompi in gui. i've got an error msg of missing libssl.so.0.9.7 but i can't find in ZSI.
anyway, zautrix, this is the most useful app for me (except ompi which i still can't open it) in z. thx.
finally, i got the libssl. however, the email downloading is very slow, much slower than using qtmail. in addition, i always get error message "error 5 initializing folder" when i click "inbox".

I held off from moving from KO/Pi 1.9.3 until the KA/Pi address sync worked. Now I tried 1.9.5b and 1.9.6 (always deleting the previous versions first) and have been unable to get the sync to work. I did a search in ZUG but haven't seen any solutions. I'm running the latest Cacko (1.22, I believe).
The Qtopia sync doesn't work at all. Selecting File/Import/Import Qtopia I get nothing. If I launch kapi from the terminal I get the following:

I am new to Linux, Zaurus and this suite
I have been testing the Organiser, Address book and recently the email and so far, they seem to be working well for me.
I have only had two problems so far.
1. I beamed my address book from a palm to the C860 and then imported it into KAPI, it wooked good but when I tried to run KAPI the next time, it crashed with ne error message on the GUI.
It turned out that I had some malformed EMAIL entries in the VCF file that stretched over four lines like...
Email No email
Email address was
Email Located **
Email *** e(((ed **
And this was crashing KAPI
Marke some better junk trapping is needed
2. SSH Library not found in the email program
Other than that, all is good for me.
Is the suite file compatible with the Windows exe versions? and when is there going to be a Windoze version of the email program?
I am looking forward to being able to use the same software on both platforms Windoze and Zaurus
Keep up the good workm its great!

So, KDE PIM/Pi going to be shrunk down in install size sometime soon, maybe?
No. That is not possible.
Unfortunate... As I have my own custom ROM, giving 8 MB of space to PIM is a little challenging. And having to install from IPKs would be annoying.
Oh well, I guess that can't be avoided with such a complex program...
Oooops ...
cleaning up my buildsystem made the microkdelibs package 800kB smaller( after it is installed, not the package file itself).
There was an old lib included, which was renamed and is needed only for phonesyncing in the kammu package.
Is it not possible to install the programs on Sd card?
z.
It's not so much the installing the packages that's the issue, it's more just I like having PIM stuff in by default on the ROM, which when it was huge wouldn't work. But almost a MB less might just make it worth my while once 2.0.0 of KDE PIM/Pi is released (which I assume will be extremely stable, and very complete). Just wipe out all the DTM based apps, and replace with KDE PIM/Pi and a good text editor/notes app.

I got the libqpepim.so.1 from there.

OK, so that was probably stupid of me....thinking this was "importing" and not "synchronizing". While exploring a bit more I found the "Synchronize -> Sharp DTM" menu option. That did the trick! Sorry for the confusion.
-
OK, so now that I have KA/Pi working, I've found a couple bugs/RFE's. First of all, there is a sorting problem with accented charactes that are used in spanish, french, german and other languages. All accented letters should be sorted as if they were the unaccented letter (so á, â, ä, and so on should be sorted the same as "a", ñ the same as n, and so on). Not necessarily a major problem except if a person's first or last name starts with an accented letter, they get sorted at the end of the list.
It would be nice to have an option where, if there is no first/last name, the company/organization name gets displayed/sorted instead. This would be optional.
Aside from that, from a first look, this looks like a wonderful suite! Congrats to Zautrix, Ulf and the rest of the people involved!

It's me again with another (real) problem. I imported all my data from DTM to KA/PI, did some edits and exited. KA/PI. I then tried starting KA/PI again and it didn't start. Starting from the command line gives:

Hi Zautrix,
for phone synch, I would suggest, to keep phone memory at lowest necessary, that the operation would be:
1) remove old entries from phone (no need to keep history on phone)
2) sync only next 3 mo (or user configurable time-period)
How does that sound?

am i the only unlucky guy???
- can't open ompi in gui. i've got an error msg of missing libssl.so.0.9.7 but i can't find in ZSI.
I also can't ompi. commandline says that libssl.so.0.9.7 is missing. I can't find any libssl\* file, but I assume this is supposed to be part of the openssl package?

Thank you for testing the KDEPim suite.
There is probably something wrong with one of the contacts in your file.
Please close Ka/Pi, then take your addressbookfile (/home/zaurus/kdepim/apps/kabc/std.vcf) and try to find out which entry (contact) causes the crash. You can do that with a try and error approach and split the file always halfways.
I will think about a debug option while loading contacts. But this option will be first available in one of the next versions.
Ah, and guys, if you have enhancement requests or real bugs like this one, please post them also at sourceforge. That helps us to keep track on things.

I found the problem that causes KaPi most likely to crash. The reason is that during
import/sync of external data (like from SharpDTM),
KA/Pi transfers/translates certain characters not correctly.
Please open your addressbook file with an ascii editor and search for the character combination
^M\n
whereas ^M is one carriagereturn (0x0d) character and \n are two ascii characters.
Mostlikely this happens in the NOTES or the ADR entry.
If you remove the ^M character from the spots, you should be able to load the file again.
We are still trying to figure out if this is a problem with the source data when syncing the data into Ka/Pi the first time. (Question: How did you get the data into Ka/Pi when you saw this error. Syncing from DTM?)
Let me know if this workaround helped you.
Ulf
-
Just a quick note to say that I've added a bug report at Sourceforge; I've confirmed my earlier finding that, if I delete an entry from my Zaurus address book it is ADDED BACK on next sync, rather than deleted from my desktop Kaddressbook file.
Great job, though.

Ulf, That did it!
It's a bit hard to get a ^M into most editors since they confuse it with the Enter key, so just for the record, this is what I did in the command line:
$ cd kdepim/apps/kabc
$ mv std.vcf std.vcf.old
$ tr -d '\r' < std.vcf.old > std.vcf
'tr' is a standard Unix tool that translates a character into another, with the -d option it deletes all occurrences of the given character. \r is the way to tell it to use ^M as a character.
And yes, I did get the data originally with DTM sync and I have my original DTM file, if you need me to do some testing.

Since the latest version (1.9.6) I am having troubles importing birthdays.
I tried to run kopi from the konsole to see if there are any error messages diplayed. but I could not find one.
The problem is that birthdays I enter in the addressbook just do not appear in kopi.
Is anyone else having the same problems? Or is it just a wierd setting on my side?
PS: the dialog that asks if I want to import birthdays appears. And after that .... nothing
Thanks

Did the following
Changed an appointment in Outlook/Exchange 2000 from 09/12/04 to 16/11/04, meeting time unchanged at 10-12 am.
Accepted an Outlook/Exchange appointment for 1 hour, from 11.00 am on the 15/10/04.
Synchronised Outlook using Intellisync.
Synchronised KO/PI using Sharp DTM Sync.
Could not see the 15/10/04 meeting, assumed something went wrong & repeated last 2 lines above, all entries to be synchronised were zero. (Meeting for 16/11/04 was in correct location)
Checked Sharp Callendar application & 15/10/04 meeting was in the correct location.
Noticed that the 15/10/04 meeting was located on 15/11/04.
Opened 15/11/04 meeting & it showed correct details for 15/10/04, added 'bb' to the end of the meeting summary line selected OK. Entry with 'bb' added appeared on 15/11/04, entry without 'bb' appeared on 15/10/04. Re-opened 15/10/04 entry which took a very long time.
Run Sharp-DTM sync from KO/PI, entry for 15/10/04 meeting appears twice in Sharp Callendar, one with & one without the 'bb', no entry for 15/11/04.
Run Intellisync, entry for 15/10/04 meeting appears twice in Outlook, one with & one without the 'bb', no entry for 15/11/04.
Hope the above is comprehensive enough.

Did the following
Changed an appointment in Outlook/Exchange 2000 from 09/12/04 to 16/11/04, meeting time unchanged at 10-12 am.
Accepted an Outlook/Exchange appointment for 1 hour, from 11.00 am on the 15/10/04.
Synchronised Outlook using Intellisync.
Synchronised KO/PI using Sharp DTM Sync.
Could not see the 15/10/04 meeting, assumed something went wrong & repeated last 2 lines above, all entries to be synchronised were zero. (Meeting for 16/11/04 was in correct location)

Thx!
Can you save the KO/Pi data and then locate in the mycalendar.ics
(kdepim/apps/korganizer/mycalendar.ics)
the event which is not displayed correctly and send this event to me?
This would help a lot to find and fix that strange bug.

$ cd kdepim/apps/kabc
$ mv std.vcf std.vcf.old
$ tr -d '\r' < std.vcf.old > std.vcf
that works for me as well.

No! :-(
But a version 1.9.7 will be available soon, for the Z and for Wintendo! :-)
It will have a really easy Kx/Pi to Kx/Pi syncing (via network) feature, such that people, who are too stupid to configure the Zaurus<->Window Sync via ssh ( like me ;-) ) can sync their Z with KO/Pi and KA/Pi on Windows.
And other useful features, like direct receiving of data via infrared and syncing with mobile phones ( most probably Nokia phones via infrared).
But I have to test the new features first, the mobile phone syncing is actually really complicated.
I am not sure, but maybe then the Zaurus will be the first PDA, which is able to sync with mobile phones.
For those, who don't want to sync is an "export to phone" feature in KA/Pi and KO/Pi.
If everything is working fine, KA/Pi and KO/Pi are more or less feature complete for me.

I look forward to thew 1.9.7 version then. I've got SSh working on my wintendo and am able to copy the contact file back & forth, but I'm looking for the ability to make changes on either side of the equation and l update both the local & remote versions.
Thanks for all of your work on this project You've made the Zaurus a true work horse, not only good as a hacking, mp3 & movie playing and warwalking tool but also viable for the corporate environment.
Now, if I could only get my company to dump Groupwise so I could sync my calendar, instead of maintaining 2 calendars!
Cheers,

Hi Zautrix,
will syncing with mobile phones be possible also via BT?
I suppose yes, but will it be straightforward or will require some hacking?
More and more phones use BT and some do not even have IR anymore (Motorola V525 for example), and thsi option would be definetly great!
Thanks for your great work, I have almost give up Outlook (if it was not for the notes function that syncs sow well with the Shap Pim!)

Is there a HOWTO anywhere for SSH synching?
User friendliness is so underrated

I found the problem that causes KaPi most likely to crash. The reason is that during
import/sync of external data (like from SharpDTM),
KA/Pi transfers/translates certain characters not correctly.
Please open your addressbook file with an ascii editor and search for the character combination
^M\n
whereas ^M is one carriagereturn (0x0d) character and \n are two ascii characters.
Mostlikely this happens in the NOTES or the ADR entry.
If you remove the ^M character from the spots, you should be able to load the file again.
We are still trying to figure out if this is a problem with the source data when syncing the data into Ka/Pi the first time. (Question: How did you get the data into Ka/Pi when you saw this error. Syncing from DTM?)
Let me know if this workaround helped you.
Ulf
Ulf, That did it!
It's a bit hard to get a ^M into most editors since they confuse it with the Enter key, so just for the record, this is what I did in the command line:
$ cd kdepim/apps/kabc
$ mv std.vcf std.vcf.old
$ tr -d '\r' < std.vcf.old > std.vcf
'tr' is a standard Unix tool that translates a character into another, with the -d option it deletes all occurrences of the given character. \r is the way to tell it to use ^M as a character.
And yes, I did get the data originally with DTM sync and I have my original DTM file, if you need me to do some testing.
Hello everyone,
I just ran into this same problem importing from SharpDTM after importing to there from Outlook. I am running Watapon's ROM on a 5600. This is one of the things I love about the Linux/Zaurus communities. Whenever I run into a problem, I just hop on the forums and somebody has a fix or solution. A special thanks to mcamou for the command line fix. I had opened up the file in a text editor and did a search for ^M with no luck. Running your commands cleaned it up and I can now open KA/Pi. And with Unison, I am now able to "sync" with my desktop version of KAddressbook.

While I am now quite addicted to kopi especially (I have a C860, a windows laptop for work and a SuSE workstation at home) the one feature I really miss from the vanilla KOrganizer is the ability to (re)parent ToDo's using drag-and-drop. Right now I can't figure out how to do it at all in kopi without deleting the todo and re-creating it under the intended parent.
Do you anticipate being able to add this (in the next version or whenever) or is it perhaps not feasable to implement? Drag-and-drop is always kind of awkward on a PDA, but I believe it's there in Qt/Embedded anyway, and it would be super useful.

it would be nice to be able to sync a catagory of contacts. im sure it woudl be a pita but if i could sync my Work contacts at work only so my z ends up being a master address book. sync home and personal with my workstation at home. same thing with appointments ect... seperation of data so work dosnt know when im meeting my gf for lunch or when my new job interview is
what does everyone else think

For Ka/Pi I can only say that I prefer having all contacts on all devices, computers.
Besides its main purpous, it is a backup of all your data which is always important to have...
Using a filter in Ka/Pi might be solution for you...

It should be possible via bluetooth.
But I don't know whether Motorola phones will be synced at all.
The only thing I can say is:
Nokia phones via infrared are working.

DnD is in Qt/Embedded, but - as far as I know - not in the version of Qt/Embedded which is in the Sharp rom.
There are several features disabled.
But I agree, reparenting todos would be very useful.
I have to fing a useable way to do this w/o DnD...

It should be already possible to do something like this.
If you choose "write back on remote existing enrties only" in the sync profile,
you will not write back your personal data.
But you cannot create a new work contact on the Z, of course.
Only on the "work" computer you can create new contacts.

Well, Nokia uses, as far as I know standard Vcal format for its data.
The same should be true for Sony-Ericsson and, I am quite sure, Motorola.
If I am not wrong (Zautrix please correct me ), this would allow the syncing to work will all these Mobiles.
I would be happy to try this out as soon as I have some time.

Wow! There are sure a log of posts on the K Opie Mail PI program (So, K-Mail and Opie-Mail are talking about the same program? I've heard them mentioned as if they were seperate programs).
I skimmed over most of it looking for a solution to a problem I'm having. snufkin (in this thread) and slocaus (in another thread - <here> (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=5385&st=0) ) have both mentioned it previously but I couldn't find a response to their inquiries anywhere.
I'm getting
Error 39 Initializing Folderwhenever I click on my POP3 account on the list. I can send e-mail, but it doesn't show up in the "Sent" folder, nor in the "Sentfailed" folder.
Does anyone know what this error means?
I'm guessing that the program isn't able to write to the needed directories. If that's correct, how do I fix it?
But first... here are my specs and background details. (This will be long to make sure I don't miss anything that might be a needed clue):
My read-only 1 GB MMC Card setup
A while ago I bought a 1 GB MMC card ($99... nice deal ) but I couldn't get it to work. After a few long threads we determined that it was a hardward timing issue that that this card simply doesn't work with the Zaurus SD Card Slot hardware. The system can read from the card just fine, but each thread that attempts to write to the card never completes (the thread freezes until the thread is manually closed, the unit it suspended/resumed, or a few other tricks). I instead set up my 1 GB MMC card as a read-only card by removing all of the write and execute privedges on the /mnt/card directory (I think that was it... not sure), which successfuly made the card read-only.
My read-write 256 MB SD Card setup
I then bought a 256 MB SD card (Aldi - $29) and it worked on the Zaurus as both read and write. No problems at all that I could notice. I therefore reset the priveledges on the /mnt/card directory (or was it the mnt.rom directory?) back to full priveledges to everyone. It is my goal to use this 256 MB SD card to store my e-mail while having a Wireless (or Ethernet) card in the CF card slot.
Getting my K-Opie Mail To Work With My SD Card
To do this I pointed the /home/zaurus/kdepim/apps/kopiemail/localmail to my SD card. Specifically, I renamed /home/zaurus/kdepim/apps/kopiemail/localmail to /home/zaurus/kdepim/apps/kopiemail/old (since the terminal wouldn't let me delete the directory, even though it was empty). I then created a simlink called localmail in the same directory that pointed to /mnt/card/Documents/ompi. The e-mail program has created various directories in the /mnt/card/Documents/ompi location on my SD card, but no files (all of the directories are empty).
Did I create the simlink incorrectly? What else should I look for? Any ideas?

Hi Tony,
thanks for reporting this.
KOpieMail cannot store messages on MSDOS formatted media.
This will be fixed in next version.
Available in 3 or 10 days.
( I did never see such strange code for saving a file...
it uses the link/unlink command. Because there are no links on
MSDOS formatted media, saving fails).
I will look at the POP3 account error as well.
But don't know if I can get the error such that I can fix it. we will see...
z.

Cool! Thanks!
The simlink is in the internal non-DOS flash. The SD card is MS-DOS. I've used this approach on many of Zaurus applications before, such as Stratagus (WarCraftII) and others, and it works because the actual simlink isn't on the DOS formated media, while still pointing to a DOS formated media.
So, Error 39 can be roughly translated to: "Unsupported File System Type"?
I look forward to the new version of K Opie Mail. Thanks so much for your time and efforts!

zautrix- this is so cool. KDE-Pim/Pi truly makes the Z a tool to rely on. Thanks for your efforts.
