Hi Z,
Do I have to uninstall the previous version or this package will automatically overlay the old one?
Thanks!

Hey, zautrix, if it's not too much trouble for you, mind providing a list of what files have been modified and what files have been added? If it's easy for you to do, it'd make my life easier when integrating this (and future) release(s) into my ROM. Instead of replacing all files and checking that all files are linked properly into /home, I'd only have to replace the modified files, and link a few new ones, as I don't believe all the images (and such files) would change often.
Again, only if it's no trouble for you to create such a list.

Hi zautrix, here's some feedback :
I had a very old (1.7.5 I think) version of Ko/Pi.
I uninstalled all the old packages and installed all the new ones through the graphical package manager (Cacko ROM Elena 1.21b).
At first I had some "this package seems to depend on other packages, please install them too" messages (although I started with kdemicrollib), but no errors otherwise.
Ko/Pi started without problem, found my old calendar file, migrated it and told me so, ran me through the settings dialogs. Very nice and user-friendly. This was late last night so I didn't test all the new stuff and options (alarms, sync, beaming etc.) but all seems to be well.
Ka/Pi (which I didn't have before) also started and imported my DTM address book without problem. Looks like a very nice app !
Pwmanager also runs well and looks good. Do you consider it stable enough that we should transfer existing stuff from ZSafe or similar ?
The only problem I found is with kopiemail : the icon "expodes" and stays that way, but nothing shows up, no error message. Is this a known problem from previous versions (a missing lib or package or something) ?
Again, thanks for all the good work and for one of the most useful "killer apps" set of packages for the Z !

I have the same problem with kopiemail

Found that I fad no openssl. Downloaded and installed openssl_0.9.7d_arm.ipk and kopiemail now seem sto work fine.
-

Thats unbelieveable ... I actually forgot to mention again, that you need
openssl to run kopiemail.
Please look at
http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/ (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/)
and search there for openssl 0.9.7.
Actually it seems so, that the second entry in the what's new section points to the needed package...

zautrix: add dependency info to your packages - this way users will have information what is missing
-
openssl : yes, that did it... as I went straight from 1.7.5 to 1.9.10, I had missed that hint in the looong 1.9.6-1.9.9 threads :-)
Thanks !

PwManager should be stable on each plattform as long as you do not try to share your passwordfile with PwManager on another plattform.
We have still some inter-platform compatibilitiy issues, but we are currently working on those.
Nevertheless, syncing and handling of the passwords already works. So please test, test, test...
Ah, and if you have any questions, please check the FAQ of pwmanager first.
This should answer some of your questions.

Thank you for packaging these files according to OS. Makes it much easier to download!
Excellent work on the PIM apps, by the way. Delightful to see such a responsive project producing usable applications.
Thanks.

Hmm, (what I think is) a minor feature request, involving the sync process...
First, using scp, which cannot have the password passed to it as an argument... The sync process does not ask for the password, and fails instead. The exact same scp command works fine on the command line, except that it asks for the password first.
Second, it would be nice to only synchronized certain categories, maybe allowing multiple categories to be selected, as some programs, like OS X's iCal, store different categories, so to speak, in different files. Files like Home.ics, School.ics, Work.ics, etc.

Hi:
I have a problem using kopiemail. I've set up my IMAP account data, but when I try to download mail it just freezes, like some top-priority process is running, the screen becomes irresponsive to touch.
After a while the message "Fetching folder list" flashes, then disappears, then it just sits there, the screen doesn't react to touch, I can switch to home by pressing the Home key on the Z, but then can't return to kopiemail.
Thought the freezup was due to a bad name in the Settings where it asks for the Local mail folder, but fixed it that there's no slashes, just a folder name, and it still behaves the same.
Anyone know what the problem might be?
Later.

I've got a rather full Sharp 3.13 ROM SL5500...
With v1.9.8 I was able to install all the apps and the kmicrokdelibs to my SD card, however, with v1.9.10 although all the apps will still install to the SD card, the kmicrokdelibs insist on being installed to main memory.
Is this intentional, or is it possible to allow the libs to be installed to the SD card again in a future version?
I know you said when you first allowed them to be installed to a SD card you recommended installing them all to the same place.

Thanks for reporting,
that is some kind of bug,
it should be possible to install the kmicrokdelibs on SD.
I will try to fix it.

Hi!
For me is important 2 big issues in KaPi:
1. If i use table view of my contacts without datails and then press "Ok" to view details of contact - and then press "Cancel" - it exit from Ka/Pi and not from Detail view as in standart PIM. I need to use stylus - it's no comfortable.
2. Sync with Sharp DTM - issue is Mobile Phone field. It don't sync with Home Mobile or Work Mobile in Sharp DTM. Where i can setup field mapping like in Intellisync?
Best regards,
Konstantin
P.S. Will be very good if your PIM applications will work with cyrillic encoding. Now if i use categories in russian encoding Ka/Pi, Ko/Pi and PW/Pi drop down.
-

Thanks for confirming this.
-
I also tried these packages. General impression is good, but there are some issues that I see:
KA/PI:
- quite inconvinient to use keyboard when List and Details are not displayed together, I think that clicking Enter (or Spacebar) should toggle List/Details view
- while in Details view Up and Down arrows should move to the previous/next contact
- categories were not imported from Sharp DTM
- would be nice to have an option to turn on full menu bar (like in KO/PI)
- need to handle nextView() qcop message so that pressing Address button (when KA/PI is assigned to that button) would togglw List/Details view
- have an option to view item on single click (not double click)
KO/PI:
- why Month View is sooo slooow?
- would be nice to be able to change keyboard mapping...
- need to handle nextView() qcop message so that pressing Calendar (when KO/PI is assigned to that button) button would switch between different calendars views
- have an option to view item on single click (not double click)
- when FastLoad is turned on and Qtopia is restarted KO/PI appears before date dialog, though it should remain hidden untill explicitely invoked...
TaskBar Applet:
- turning applet ON/Off crashes Qtopia
- addresses menu item doesn't do anything...
-
Also, I've turned off fastload on the original Calendar / Address Book / ToDo apps, yet I felt that the sync was stopping when it (Intellisync) tried to sync my contacts via DTM - I know the release notes state that the auto beam receive was stopping DTM syncing with KO/Pi - but can you confirm that DTM syncing with KA/Pi is working fine?

Intellisync worked for me when I turned off fast load for all Kx/PI apps and quit them.

Okay - must be a PC problem then.

Did you try the "Clear Sync Info" button in PC Link app on Zaurus? This helps sometimes...
In rare cases I had to reboot Windows to fix sync problems...

Hi zautrix,
I just installed KO/Pi on a fresh flash of OZ 3.5.1. First off, thank you for making these available for OZ- any support the community can give this project is a "good thing" I think.
After I installed, I noticed that no tab/icons were created, and that I couldn't start kopi from the command line. After investigating, I found that the binary was installed to /mnt/ram/opt/Qtopia/bin. . . shouldn't this be /mnt/ram/opt/QtPalmtop/bin?
Otherwise, ipkg-link made all the proper symlinks, but starting /opt/Qtopia/bin/kopi gave an error about libmicrokdepim.so.1. . . presumably because this is located in /mnt/ram/opt/Qtopia/lib instead of /mnt/ram/opt/QtPalmtop/lib.

As reported on a german Z forum:
>>>
Wer Probleme mit der Installation unter OZ-3.5.1 hat (KDEPim Vers.: OZ_3.x.x) sollte vor der Installation einen sym-Link von /opt/Qtopia nach /opt/QtPalmtop legen! Danach sollte es gehen. Und wichtig alte libs alle deinstallieren (meine alte Version 1.9.4 war wohl noch anders zusammengepackt gewesen)

man this app is great! thanks zautrix. I been following this since you introduced it to us. now i feel i can use it comfortably.
everything works on my sd and i have
openssl_0.9.7d_arm.ipk
kmicrokdelibs_1.9.10_arm.ipk
korganizer-alarm_1.9.10_arm.ipk
installed in main to prevent my zaurus from rebooting after i eject sd.
it is perfect and hope you get more fun out of this programming than i do as a user.
you must of been high on something cuz this is the best thing since...man i just wanted to let you know dude. Free too....unbulevable!

- quite inconvinient to use keyboard when List and Details are not displayed together, I think that clicking Enter (or Spacebar) should toggle List/Details view
Lets see with what we come up
- while in Details view Up and Down arrows should move to the previous/next contact
Fixed in 1.9.11 as long as the cursor is in the searchfield (which is usually the case). Thanks zautrix.
- need to handle nextView() qcop message so that pressing Address button (when KA/PI is assigned to that button) would togglw List/Details view
Implemented in 1.9.11 but not tested yet. Please test if available
- have an option to view item on single click (not double click)
Fixed in 1.9.11. You have to select "Honor KDE single click" in the preferences dialog.
-
OK, where can I get version 1.9.11?
-
Loaded 1.9.10 & synced to Sharp DTM & it removed all the diary entries, presumably it thinks all the entries were deleted in Sharp DTM, but they are all still there!! I know I should not have said OK when it said that it wanted to delete 307 entries, but my hand was running ahead of my brain!
Is it looking in the wrong place for the Sharp DTM diary file?
Anyone know how to correct this, tried syncing again but it still can't find the Sharp DTM entries.
Mike
-

Version 1.9.11 will be available soon.
( In 1-2 days)
Thank you very much for your comments,
I have implemented/fixed some points.
This makes KA/Pi better useable.
On nextView() KO/Pi is displaying always the What's next view.
That is not a bug, that is a feature.

Hi all,
allmost perfect as ever, since versions 1.97+. Only the wellknown oddities in resizing of the config-screens, which aren't a real problem, i've got nothing left to complain with Ko/Pi and Ka/Pi.
I don't know if it's my personal setup, but Om/Pi ceases to start after the first time.
Afterwards there's only the exploding icon - and than nothing. So i returned to qtmail which isn't that bad after all and integration with Ka/Pi works pretty well.
With PwM/Pi i could not figure out, if there's a secret way of configuring categories like in most other PW-Apps (e.g. renaming the fields for different needs).
Is there any chance of importing Z-Safe text exports?
Tx to the xx/Pi team for these.

Seems strange to me I believe this should be user-configurable.
Also, I wanted to report another set of problems with non-latin characters. When I create a TODO using cyrillic characters, it doesn't get synchronized with Sharp DTM database. Sometimes it just disappers in both KO/PI and DTM...

Ok, I will make it configurable.

Yes, I see the problem in the code ... actually I fixed it already for events, but forgot to fix it for todos...
By the way, version 1.9.10 has the bug, that a new entry from DTM is not added properly to Kx/Pi such that it is added on every sync to Kx/Pi.
I am currently now in "sync testing mode" to find out, if everythig works as desired.
Next version will have an easy Zaurus<-> KDE sync.

Thanks a lot for your efforts! It would be great if you could also fix similar problem with categories - they are not imported when synchinc with DTM (I believe they are stored separately) and they also have problems with non-latin characters. With these problems fixed, I'll be ready to switch to using KO/PI PIMs instead of Sharp's...
-
I don't know if it's my personal setup, but Om/Pi ceases to start after the first time.
Afterwards there's only the exploding icon - and than nothing.
I have a strange problem too with OM/Pi, only different.
It worked quite well a couple of times, then it failed at the end of a mailrun.
Since then it still launches, still gets mail, but now every time I click (or up arrow) on the 'Local folders' in the left pane, the apps just disappears.
So I can still use it, but I have to be really careful with the pen :-)
-

Thanks, but a simple reboot fixed it (given that it all worked until it hit the Contacts, and then another attempt to sync didn't even get that far, I felt it pointed to the PC, and not the Zaurus).

That is our evil masterplan. Nothing to complain about anymore anywhere...
With PwM/Pi i could not figure out, if there's a secret way of configuring categories like in most other PW-Apps (e.g. renaming the fields for different needs).
In the current version, categories can only be edited from within the edit password dialog. There the category dropdownbox has the capability to enter new categories.
Is there any chance of importing Z-Safe text exports?
There is no one step approach, but I did the same with my data and it worked pretty well.
You have to export the data first from zSafe into text/csv format.
Then load the data into a spreadsheet app and order the columns in a way that PwM/Pi can read it. The required format is described in the FAQ's.
Then import the data into PwM/Pi with the included CSV import.
Worked for me.

Hey guys,
I've got a couple of OM/pi issues: one bug and one request:
bug: OM/pi re-downloads old mail on subsequent mail checks: e.g. d/l a message; read it; delete it; re-check mail; same message d/l's again. { guess I should post this on sf... }
request: can a toolbar button and/or key sequence be added to jump to next/prev email from the mail display window (instead of closing or deleteing and then double-tapping next message). Also: a configurable option to determine what action is taken after deleteing a message from the message view (i.e. go to next message or go to inbox).
Awesome work guys! Thanks again!

In the current version, categories can only be edited from within the edit password dialog. There the category dropdownbox has the capability to enter new categories.
I certainly noticed that. What i was looking for, is a chance to enter e.g. credit-cards with their respective issuer, number, validity and pin - into fields that can be recognized as such. As well as, say internet-providers, with quite a different set of informations, or even serials of legally obtained comercial software , which can be a bit puzzling if you have only "Description;Category;Username;Password;URL" - and the rest is to be put in Comments?
Well as much as i'm an addict to the other xx/Pi stuff, PwM/Pi has not reached their class yet.
But don't let that get you down - you really cheered up my (Pim-dependant) life.
Thanks for the importing guide anyhow, i'll give it a try tonight on the train.

I agree with you that the category capabilities are somewhat restricted at the moment and I have already contacted the original author of PwManager for KDE about this issue.
The basic goal should be to keep the format of PwM/Pi and PwManager compatible so that syncing between KDE and Z will be possible in future versions.
From a technical point it should be easy to implement your request.
I will keep you informed about the progress.

One more issue: Beam Recieve option is always enabled when program starts. I think, it should remeber the state of this option before exit and restore it.
A few more: in Cards view clicking Enter doesn't bring up contact details.
Also, both KA/Pi and KO/PI stopped detecting Sharp's default e-mail client as being installed. The only owo options I have are "No Client Installed" and "User Defined Client"
-
Can anyone help, upgraded to KO/PI version 1.9.10 & sync with Sharp Calendar no longer works.
Sharp Calendar has lots of entries, none on KO/PI but sync says 0 entries to sync, tried re-installing the applications but still the same.
Mike
-
i've got nothing left to complain with Ko/Pi and Ka/Pi.
Well, may be that was a bit of an exaggeration.
So here is my complaint about Ko/Pi :
As far as i got, i can't find any way to cancle, or shift a single occurence of a recurring event. The only way seems to state an exception, which deletes the item, copy and then change it manually to a single event with the desired properties.
It hurts to admit, but in this matter even MSOL outbeats Ko/Pi (yet)
I know, you're living for the challenge

Hello j,
with 1.9.11 (which comes out the next couple of days) you can change the text for
Description, Username and Password for each category.
Hope that helps getting involved with PwM/Pi
And do not forget, that the most important thing about PwM/Pi is that you can sync your data. Show me one other pw application that can do that
That was the reason I ported it in the first place.
Ah, and please add the reocurring event problem with KO/Pi into sourceforge.

If you go to any time based view (Today, Next x Days, Working Week, Week) and drag the event either earlier or later in the day it automatically detaches it from the recurrence (ie creates an exception and a single event for you). You can then set it to the correct time, or even change the date (by editing it).
You can do the same for deleting (select to delete it, and it will ask whether you want to delete the single event or all events), however, if you select Toggle Cancel that only works for all events - you don't get asked if you want to toggle just the one event.
However, if you have previously created the recurring event with the DTM tools, you may well find that on syncing with DTM the original recurring event comes back - I find that recurring events created with KO/Pi work fine, but DTM created ones fail to work the way you would hope - if you want to replace an recurring event with a new one created in KO/Pi, I find it's best to delete the whole recurring range in the DTM app, and then create a new event in KO/Pi with a different name (otherwise the syncing between KO/Pi and DTM or Intellisync will make the event return as a DTM recurring event). Is this a bug? I've no idea, but a little effort in removing them and creating new events in KO/Pi seems to make things work better.
However, as my Z is my master diary, I don't create exception in Outlook or the DTM apps, so I've no idea how well the exception information from Outlook performs when synced into KO/Pi.

One more possible bug....
When you import Birthdays from KA/Pi it creates an All Day event for the birthday with a 15min alarm - I don't want to be notified at 11.45pm the day before someone has a birthday (and neither does my wife) - is it possible to either turn this alarm off, or at least have an option to decide whether or not to have an alarm on these imported events?
<later>
Hmm, I've created a new birthday record in KA/Pi and when importing, it hasn't created an alarm, which is good - however, most of my birthday entries do have alarms, so I'm monitor this and report back if it happens again. Maybe v1.9.7 was creating the alarms, and 1.9.10 isn't??!?
Thanks

Couple of things with 1.9.11
KA/PI: the initial drawing if the GUI is bugged, I can see the divider bar under the menu buttons, and the left-hand butttons had a double-edge on the top side. Have had this bug since I've started using kapi.
The divider bar behaviour is really erratic, what is it supposed to do? This counts for both kapi and kopi.
If you open kapi and rotate the screen, the close cross disappears, and the divider bar doesn't change. Ideally it would change on the fly (vertical in landscape mode, and horizontal in portrait), or be user-configurable.
Still in KAPI, if a contact should have more than 1 phone number of one type (say, Mobile, or Home), trying to switch the second number to the same type as an existing number results in a silent revert on the "OK" press. it displays just fine if you press apply, but gets reverted when you close the editing window, and it's reverted if you try to edit it again

Can we have the Ko/Pi calendar application display the current day everytime it's opened? Whenever I turn on my zaurus, the calendar day displayed is the last one I accessed and not the current day.
Anything I need to set?

If you press the calendar button (if assigned to KO/Pi), it will move to the What's Next view - this will automatically update to today when opened / Z turned on. Of course, when you go to the other views, you may still need to click on the "Go To Today" toolbar button, but it's at least a start.
I know there's an option to jump to the correct time within the views - this might also move to the right date, but as I have that option turned off, I can't confirm.

Yes, when jump to time is set, it also goes to the current date and time when started.

I can't create screenshots, but certainly the Configure kaddressbook menu option appears to not allow for the taskbar, and hence you can only see half the buttons (this is on a Sharp 3.13 ROM SL-5500)
Also, KO/Pi 1.9.11 seems to be wrapping today's date in the What's Next View - instead of "Thu 04 Nov 2004" it's showing
"Thu 04"
"Nov 2004"
ie, over two lines. I can't see any reason for this (I wonder if the code is working out the long date version wouldn't fit on 1 line, and therefore puts it on 2 lines, even though it's using the short date format)?

I'm seeing the same problem on a C860 with tkcROM (i.e. buttons on configure screen are obscured by task bar). Here's a screenshot:

I'm also having a weird formatting problem on the What's Next screen that seems to be related to one specific todo item. Let me know if you want me to send my calendar file to you. Here's a screenshot:

Hope someone can help, I have posted twice before, but no responce.
Cant sync KO/PI with Sharp DTM, KO/PI says there are no entries to sync from Sharp DTM & entries from KO/PI never appear in Sharp DTM.
Tried removing & re-installing KO/PI.
Only thing I can think of is a corrupt KO/PI config file that is not removed when removing KO/PI.
Any help would be apreciated, as I am getting desparate.

Hello Mike,
deinstallation of KDEPim does never remove config and data files.
You can find the configfiles in $HOME/kdepim/config and the data in $HOME/kdepim/apps/korganizer
So if you want to start kompletly from scratch, then remove the $HOME/kdepim directory (maybe make a backup before doing that) and then install Kde/Pim new.
Which version are you using? Zautrix fixed a couple of problems within the sharpDTM sync area. Please try the current version 1.9.12

Installing 12 now, I have a couple of bugs to report but I want to check first. Damn you guys are fast.
feature request: make the dock applet totally configurable. (If you've ever used Firefox's "customize" sytem for the menu bars, something like that would be great)
(that way you could choose each item on the "timer" list, where to put each item and separators.
Sync to the Mozilla Suite (and the Firefox/Thunderbird/Sunbird components) would be very nice.
It would be very nice to make the menus consistent across all the PI apps (same icons/titles)
More menu items could use keyboard shortcuts. Displaying them in the menu bars would really help.
In Kapi, it would help to be able to choose the maximum size of contacts' pictures.
Edit: The birthday import function isn't ideal. It still creates ducplicates when events have had their properties (but not the summary) changed.
There's no way to import iCal is there? That would solve two sync problems at the same time (sync with Apple iCalendar and Mozilla Suite/Sunbird)
It would also be nice to give all the PI apps command switches to import/export their files to ease up sync.
-
Thanks ~Ulf, that worked.
Created another problem KA/Pi now crashes when I try to sync, happens as soon as I click the OK button. I assume it's because I have a lot of contacts to sync, there are 906 of them.
Any suggestions?

What are you syncing, what KA/Pi version are you using and what OK button are you clicking?
Please give more details, if you report bugs,
thanks,

Hi
I think KO/Pi KA/Pi are fabulous
One enhancement I would like to see, as my calendar is very large, is the option of synching with DTM for a sepcified date range in the past as well as the future, ie this year, this month, 'x' days in the past
Keep up the good work
-

I do not think this makes a huge difference in performance.
The local file and remote file have to be loaded and parsed anyway, and the check is very fast for entries that have not been changed.
~Ulf
-
Well I have imported quite a lot of calendar entries into KO/Pi and the synching takes around 10 minutes now as opposed to about 10-20 seconds.
I suppose an alternative would be something like the Psion used to have of archiving off a range of dates to a backup file

As I tend to have a large number of emails on my server, being able to use OM/PI with IMAP is really nice, but I have a problem with non-English characters like our Danish æ, ø and å. For one thing, they are not displayed correctly in the email body. Also, in the message headers OM/PI doesn't parse text like
=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Ingeni=F8ren|net?=, so reading the "From" and "Subject" field often is kind of difficult.
The first problem might have to do with missing characters in the font I use. I also have problems with missing characters in Zbedic, but not in programs like Hancom Word.

Both problems will be fixed in next version.
The squares (missing characters) are a bug, which I fixed.
The "?ISO-8859-1?Q?Ing..."
is caused by missing character conversion tables on the zaurus.
I will provide an ipk package with the tables together with the next version.
The whole character conversion tables are quite big, appr. 7.6 MB.
I have to find a way how to install this on SD card.
New version 1.9.13 should be available tonight ( tonight CET ).

Hi!
New user here (C700 Cacko 1.12 hotfix .
May I post some wishes in this post, or maybe there is any other forum out there to do that (or email address)? I will also try to post in the KO/Pi forum at www.pi-sync.net .
IMHO, there two or three enhancements that will greatly improve the usability of KO/Pi for people who also wants to use the Zaurii as a main PIM solution (right now, I carry a PalmOS powered Tungsten T3 device and the Zaurii). Summarizing:
+Option to just show scheduled time and automatically resize windows depending on the numer of todos and appointments. If I have lots of todos for a day, but no appointments, I must manually drag and drop the separator to make room for todos (otherwise, they are stretched and are almost unreadable).
But, if you only show scheduled time (and, if there are no appointments for that day, agenda window just would be empty), there are lots o free space for todos, which, shall be "font fixed" (Displaying 20 todos a day is useless if you can't read the text).
Agendus and DateBk5 PIM software for PalmOS handle it very well. ¿Just 1 todo and one appointment for a day? It shows first the appointment (with start time and end time if selected, just start time and duration, icon etc...but it only shows that time slot anyway), then the separator, then the todo, and nothing else. The rest of the screen is empty. Of course, you can use icons, colors, differente font size for each entry...they are great features, but the most important thing is the resize option and just show scheduled time.
Something like this:
[img]http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/8762gs50X/183888.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /]
[img]http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/8762gs50X/183889.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /]
+Grid week view: a picture is worth a thousand words, ¿right?
[img]http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/8762gs50X/183885.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /]
[img]http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/8762gs50X/183886.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /]
[img]http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/8762gs50X/183887.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /]
Again, color and icons are awesome in those kind of views.
+Generally speaking, icons are a terrific tool to organize, and customizable font size and color, background color for each entry. Implementing this in a "list view", the same already implemented in KO/Pi, would also be great.
+Sometimes I feel that there is also lots of space wasted in scrollbars, windows frames and so on. I think that the most useful information without scrolling in a PIM app is the most important thing (as long as you can read it, of course). If you want to, I can also post a screenshot of KO/Pi in my C700 to elaborate.
Please, bear in mind that these are just constructive points. I don't want to start a flame war or whatever, but I'm terribly frustrated becouse such a great machines (Zaurii) with such a great SO and usability don't have a really improved PIM software for that platform. KO/Pi is on the way, and it's almost there.
I would do whatever betatesting is needed. I'm not a good coder (actually, I haven't programmed in a Linux environmnet since I finished the university period), but I'm willing to help as far as I can.
Best wishes,
Eduardo (Spain)

Version 1.9.13 is available:
********** VERSION 1.9.13 ************
Fixed nasty PwM/Pi file reading bug, when
the used hash algo of file is different then the global
hash algo.
Added KA/Pi support for opie mailit mailapplication.
Fixed some bugs in OM/Pi.
Now character conversion tables are available for the Zaurus
to make OM/Pi working properly.
To get the character conversion in OM/Pi working, please download
at the sourceforge project site the package
sr-character-conversion_SharpROM_arm.ipk.zip
(or oz-character-conversion_OZ-gcc3xx_arm.ipk.zip for OZ roms)
from the section "general files for KDE/Pim"
Instructions how to install this package are in a ReadMe in this file.
Fixed the orientation change problem in KA/Pi when switching
portrait/landscape mode.
French translation available for KA/Pi and OM/Pi.
Fixed some problems with categories in KO/Pi in DTM sync.
Added selection dialog for export to phone in KA/Pi.
If in KO/Pi is an attendee selected to add to a meeting and this
attendee is already in the list of attendees, this person is not added
again.
Some menu cleanup in KA/Pi.

They were not actual screenshots of my PDA he he he... I borrowed them from another website.
I would kill for those features
-
Yay for a new version. So, ehm, what about Mozilla zync? Is it in the works, or aren't you interested?
edit: do you want someone to build the SuSE rpms for you?
-
Upgraded KO/Pi to version 1.9.12 then 13, both would crash at the end of the DTM sync process, after you click the OK button to accept updates, reverted to version 1.9.10 which works OK.
Has anyone else got these versions to work with 900+ contacts, or have any idea what broke in the last 2 versions.

I've reported all the bugs I found on the SF.net page. Here are the feature requests. Can/should I log them formally somewhere else?
Kopi- Make pop-up date picker work with drag select, the same way it works in agenda view and when creating appointments.
- Possibility to choose which columns are displayed in the views that use them (call the config screen by long-tapping on a column header)
- Option to choose which buttons are displayed in the button-bar.
- Option to combine several buttons of the same type into a meta button (with all the views buttons, for example. one click brings a drop-down button-menu, second click activates selected view). See the 2.x winamp playlist window for a good example.
- implement category drop-downs for todo list and appointment list, much like kapi does it. makes it easier tpo find the task/appointment you want.
-
Hmm, haven't tested 1.9.13 yet (but will soon). As I've said before, very nice work.
With 1.9.13 it seems the library file naming is better (all KDEPIM libraries are libmicro*), making it easier for someone like me to build and update a ROM based upon it. One question I do have... Will the stuff in the Qtopia pics directory be changing anytime soon? (i.e. /opt/QtPalmtop/pics/kdepim) If it is then I'll have to keep on re-creating the /home/QtPalmtop/pics symlinks every time I build a new ROM version, but if they won't be updated, it'd be nice to know, so I don't have to re-link everything. And by updated, I mean any files removed, added, or renamed. Not changes to the file contents.
Oh, yeah, one feature request... The ability to, for each sync profile, only select certain categories to synchronize, as opposed to syncing all categories. The reason? Some programs, namely Apple's iCal, use different ics files for each category of data. i.e. Personal.ics, Work.ics, etc.
-
I noticed what I think is a bug in the separation bar in KAPI:
You can move it down by tapping the middle part, but tapping it again seems to fail to bring it back up. The middle area (of the bar) is also too small (too thin, actually) to be used effectively with a stylus.
About the category drop-down in portrait mode (you closed the bug report on SF.net): could you make the menu and especially the button bars (in both KAPI and KOPI) editable for both landscape and portrait mode? That way you guys choose the defaults, but everyone gets to decide what they want in each mode.
Furthermore, I don't know if this is the desired behaviour, but when you call the todo list from the alarm applet, the task bar icon doesn't show, and ou can't directly switch back to it from another window.
Needless to say, you both have accomplished a great deal so far. I just hope all our nagging doesn't get on your nerves too bad.
-
I have only one feature request, though I'm still on 1.9.10. I would like to quickly check off todos listed in the what's next screen without having to go in and edit the todo.
-

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 for your on-going work!
I haven't tried your KDE Pim for a while, as it loaded too slowly on my TKC rom 5500.
I have since upgraded to 512 SD and newest Cacko ROM.
Now your korg 1.9.3 is almost as quick as calendar. kaddressbook, however....
I am still getting used to it, so I don't know if some irregularities were of my doing.
I did notice that after importing my Sharp DTM, my two longest reoccurring events were not there. Since they are also on Tuesday evenings (first and second), while all other reoccurring events on other days were reported. Other than this, the importing was also more accurate than in the past e.g. events show up on the correct day and correct time.
-
Has anyone noticed a problem in 1.9.3 with alarms that won't stop repeating. There appears to be no way to close the alarm and instead it keeps being "suspended" for X minutes and then coming back again. I have an alarm on my Zaurus that has been going for days now and it is getting troublesome.
My KO/PI is installed on my MS-DOS formated SD card.
-
Pwmanager also runs well and looks good. Do you consider it stable enough that we should transfer existing stuff from ZSafe or similar ?
PwManager should be stable on each plattform as long as you do not try to share your passwordfile with PwManager on another plattform.
We have still some inter-platform compatibilitiy issues, but we are currently working on those.
Nevertheless, syncing and handling of the passwords already works. So please test, test, test...
Ah, and if you have any questions, please check the FAQ of pwmanager first.
This should answer some of your questions.
Ulf
Does pwmanager support Chinese character?
The Chinese character I import to pwmanager can not display correctly.
And when I new a entry and input some Chinese character and click OK, it seems that they are disappeared.
BTW, except the Chinese character issue, the pwmanager is very very good and I love it at the first glance!
