Exceptions To Recurring Events

This was reported several months ago and it seems no one, much less any Opie developers, is aware of this. I am posting this here in the hope that someone who contributes to the Opie project would see it. Exceptions to recurring appointments is an important practical feature that I can't do without, so right now I'm stuck using a Palm Pilot for everyday management and relegating my Z to "fun" stuff like Gaim over Wi-Fi. If someone in Opie-land is already aware of this request, I apologize--I don't mean to pester anyone but rather it does seem no one is even aware that the request exists.

Thanks,
Andrew

Standard Palm DateBook does not allow to exceptions too...

as usual I can tell - 'patches welcome'

FWIW, kopi handles exception quite well. HTH

My Tungsten E2 has support for this. You simply delete the appointments in the recurring series you don't want and it asks you: Delete all, current, or future appointment(s)? IIRC my Palm IIIxe had this, so I don't know where you get the idea that Palm's datebook doesn't support this.

I'd never heard of this. Two questions:

- Can I sync with Evolution? From what I understand Kopi uses an iCalendar file to store your appointements so maybe this would work with OpenSync's file plugin.
- Are there .ipk or ARM .debs available somewhere?

I wish I had time to investigate myself   .

Thanks,
Andrew

Never mind. It appears that kopi is in the OpenZaurus archive...oh well.

That kind of exceptions...

By exceptions to recurring events I understand:

Repeat every thursday but not if it will be 23th day of month or during September.

That kind of exceptions are not supported in OPIE or in Palm DateBook. We just had problems with understanding each other.
