Software / KDE-Pim/Pi 1.9.10 Release

« on: November 15, 2004, 01:00:51 pm »

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?

Hello ev1l and all the others,


If you have enhancement requests, please insert them also to the featurerequest tracker in Sourceforge. The link is:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=63695...103&func=browse

Please check beforehand if somebody else created already a similar entry and add your comment there if you would like to see the feature in KDEPim as well.
 
Thanks for all your help and suggestions.

Thanks!

But, what is KA/Pi and where is the address book file on the Zauras?

Thanks!

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

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.

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.

Mike

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

When calling the pref screen on cacko 1.21b, the OK/Cancel buttons are covered by the  start bar.

Which app, which version?
A screenshoot of the page that might be too big in order to fit with all buttons on the screen might be of help too.

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?

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.

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.

Accessories / USB Cable instead of Cradle?

« on: October 28, 2004, 01:46:24 pm »

Has anybody tried the USB sync/charge cable offered by a guy from ebay?

I ordered one for $12 inclusive shipping and await it eagerly to try. Seems a good deal to me.

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.

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.

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.

- 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.

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)
<<<

Translated :
"To avoid problems using KDEPim with OZ3.5.1 you have to create a symlink from /opt/Qtopia to /opt/QtPalmtop"

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.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / import csv to kapi

« on: October 23, 2004, 03:09:42 pm »

Hi Martin,

the problem with the linebreaks will not be solved with 1.9.9. So no changes there.

Did you try adding quotes around the notes field before importing ? Just a guess
