Kde-pim/pi 2.0.16 Release

I have the same problems using DTMsync including the disappearing entries from Sharp address book, I also get a conflict screen where KA/Pi has scrambled 2 entries into one.

You should be able to recover the Sharp address book with the following.

Rename the Sharp dtm folder (/home/zaurus/Applications/dtm)

Create a new dtm folder, add original files from a backup if possible, see note.

Run sharp address book

Rename new dtm folder

Rename original dtm folder back to dtm

No idea why it works, but all the entries re-appear.

Note: It is possible to restore individual files or folders from a Sharp backup by copying the relevant files from your PC, they should be located in a folder similar to C:\Program Files\Sharp Zaurus\BackupRestore\Backup\SL-C760\20050107110121 the last bit is the date of the backup, you can also use it to see what files are backed up by the Sharp backup routine.

My problems with 1.9.16 may be more a conflict with  Cacko on my 5500.
The following has happened twice.

After installing the korganizer and kaddressbook (and associated files) they both work fine, all the items, dates, contacts are in place.

The next time I opened korganizer notice some of the entries are missing. I closed and clicked again on the korganizer icon, the hourglass appears, and disappears, but korganizer does not appear. (The first time I did this, and continued to repeat this, eventually I could not reboot my Z. I would get to the Cacko opening screen asking for root password or Control-D to continue. (and neither worked anyway.  This led to a reformat of my SD and reinstallation. My second attempt when I saw korganizer and kaddressbook fail to open, I just quickly uninstalled them to save the system. Backups are wonderful, BTW!)

The second time through korganizer was also doing other flaky things. Even though global change of time to 12 hour system, some events (whether editing old or making new) might have 24 hour time in the beginning time slot and 12 hour time in the ending time slot.

For the particulars, running Cacko kernel 64-0 for 5500 on my 512meg Lexar SD. It was stable until installing 1.9.16.

I can't download 1.9.16 from the Sourceforge site. Anyone want to send me a copy, or should I just wait until .17 is out?
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Try [a href=\"http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/kdepimpi/kdepim_1.9.16_for_SharpRom.ipk.zip]this[/url]
It realy should work, but post your email if it doesn't and I'll mail it to you.

That link works just fine, thanks.

I can't download other SourceForge software, either -- and I've tried on both Safari and FireFox. I wonder if my ISP is blocking the domain?

[edit]Turns out my current NetBarrier firewall setting was blocking all pop-ups and redirects. Now fixed. Thanks again![/edit]

Hi zautrix

I found some bugs in 1.9.16

kopi:
when using the keyboard shortcuts to switch to the toto-list ("v") (in mode: hide not running todos in todo view) I cannot scroll up/down with the arrow-keys anymore. If I press "t" it is possible to scroll.
If I press left arrow I move to the following week, but I cannot go any further or backwards


OMPI:
copy and paste cannot be saved. the pasted text is deleted in parts

I've got some bugs in .16 too.

• The alarm applet is even more finicky this time around. In .15 I had to uninstall it because every time I woke the Z from a suspended state it would go through the reboot process. This time it did it once at random and then again (and I think you noted this already) when I uninstalled it.

• The "Toggle Date Navigator" view in KO/Pi doesn't stick. The mini calendar is back every time I launch the app, and I'd like it to stay gone. This was the same in .15.

• IMAP in OM/Pi -- Has anyone got this working?

Thanks for listening!

Will be fixed in 1.9.19

Yes, that should work. What are your problems?

Thanks for listening!

In what view? The todo view?
In the todo view you cannot change time with the left/right keys, because the keys are used for open/closing item with subtodos.

OMPI:
copy and paste cannot be saved. the pasted text is deleted in parts

Thanks for reporting,

I would guess, that there are some libs not deinstalled properly.

But thanks for reporting, I will test the latest version on my  5500 with Cacko 64/0 Rom.

Hi Mike,

thanks for helping testing and finding problems.

Your Problems were caused by two things:
(1)
KA/Pi have had a "smart" merging mechanism, which was actually quite stupid.

I have changed this. Version 1.9.18 should work much better.

(2)
After syncing with DTM KA/Pi is storing a sync state of the items.
If you  do a restore , you will get such strange results such as
"I also get a conflict screen where KA/Pi has scrambled 2 entries into one".

After a restore
Please remove the sync info for the DTM profile and make sure, that no items are in DTM and KA/Pi before the first sync.


Please let me know, if syncing works in Version 1.9.18 for you.
I tested it and it is now working for me well.

I hope it's ok to post this here, but -

the sync between KA/Pi and DTM has become a little weird

How much contact items do you have in your addressbook?

z.

[zautrix]

Kapi <-> DTM sync appears not to be working.*needs status update*

Should be working in  1.9.18

• Kapi: Can't seem to find a way to remove pictures from a vCard.

edit: it's impossible to remove a pic if "store as URL" is not selected. So there is a workaround (it's still a bug, hint-hint, nudge-nudge)

Should be working in  1.9.18

• Kopiemail: the recipient selection window (the one you get from the "to" button) uses the orientation used at application startup, not the current orientation.

Have to look at this.

• Kapi: Contact display (in the preview pane) is *really* slow when the contact picture is not minimalistic in size. A 40k pic causes a 4 secs delay in the switch). Might be a good idea to either thread the display (the card appears with the image still loading, like a webpage) or cache the thumbnail image.

That would be useful.
Plase add this as a feature request on sf.

• Kapi doesn't provide a way to associate itself with vCards on the Z (haven't checked behaviour on windows or x86 linux). *Will not be fixed*   Isn't that one of the primary tasks of a PIM app?

Ok, I agree, that would be useful.
Plase add this as a feature request on sf.

• Kapi: unused menu items. File->Print.  File->Exit isn't really needed either. Neither is fixed in .17

Print removed  in 1.9.18
File->Exit not removed.

• Kopi:alarm before an allday even defaults at midnight (actually, 10 to midnight). Not really nice. Might be useful to have a default alarm time for allday events, and be able to specify the time of the day for the alarm, instead of the period of time between the alarm and midnight on the allday event. This is especially useful for things like birthdays. *Will be fixed later, maybe.*

I agree, that would be useful.
Plase add this as a feature request on sf with a high prio

• PWM: cannot be installed to memory card.

In general it is working for me.
But sometimes is not working for me. (E.g. for KA/Pi)
It must be a bug in the installer itself.

• Kapi:Provide more IM fields so each contact can have a protocol-specific nickname. The most widespread protocols are AIM/ICQ, Gadu-Gadu, Groupwise, IRC, Jabber, MSN and Yahoo. Doing this now will also ease IM integration down the road (with something like Kopete or Gaim). *will not be changed* The obvious solution is to port Kopete and integrate it, damnit.  
  

Plase add this as a feature request on sf with a low prio

• Kapi: Replace the search settings dropbar with the category dropdown in portrait mode. Seems a lot more useful, but I might be missing something. Let me know. *Will not be changed* too bad. (queue sad dog-eyes... could we have that as a user option, puuuhlease?).

No, only as a dog option ...
Ok, I will ad it...

• Kopi: Re-sort todo items after an item edit so that items stay sorted. *needs status update*
  

Sorry for the non working quotes ...

********** VERSION 1.9.18 ************

Release for testing only.

FYI: The VERSION 1.9.17 was a testing release only.
Please read the changelog of VERSION 1.9.17 as well.

Cleaned up the syncing config dialog.
Added sync config options for date range for events.
Added sync config options for filters on incoming data.
Added sync config options for filters on outgoing data.
Please read the updated SyncHowTo about the new filter settings.
These filter settings make it now possible to sync with shared
calendars without writing back private or confidential data
(via the outgoing filters).
To sync only with particular parts of a shared calendar,
the incoming filter settings can be used.
An example can be found in the SyncHowTo.
Same for shared addressbooks.

Added a setting for the global kdepim data storage.
Usually the data is stored in (yourhomedir/kdepim).
Now you can set in the Global config dialog TAB, subTAB "Data storage path"
a directory where all the kdepim data is stored.
That makes it easy to save all kdepim data on a SD card on the Z, for example.

KO/Pi:
The timeedit input has a pulldown list for times.
If opened, this pulldown list should now has the right time highlighted.
Added the possibility to exclude events/todos/journals in a filter.
You should exclude journals, if you do not want them to sync with a  public calendar.

KA/Pi:
Added the possibility to in/exclude public/private/confidential contacts to a filter.
If you have already defined filterrules in KA/Pi you have to adjust them all by setting the "include public/private/confidential" property manually. Sorry for that ...
Added printing of card view and details view on desktop.
Printing of list view is not working...
Added button for removing pictures in contact editor.
Parsing data fix of KA/Pi version 1.9.17.
Fixed the "parse name automatically" problem of KA/Pi version 1.9.17.
Fixed some syncing merging problems.


********** VERSION 1.9.17 ************

KO/Pi:
Fixed that tooltips were not updated after moving an item in agenda view.
Fixed a bug in sorting start date for recurring events in list view.
Changed the left button in todo viewer from "Agenda" to "Set completed".
This makes it possible to change a todo in the What's Next View quickly to the completed state without leaving the What's Next View.
Added more info in the todo viewer: Startdate, parent/sub todos.
 

KA/Pi:
All fields search does now actually search all the (possible) fields,
not only those listed in the contact list.
Made is possible to inline a picture in a vcard on the Z.
This was only possible on the desktop, now is it possible on the Z as well.
Fixed of missing save settings after filter configuration.
Made saving of addressbook much faster.
Fixed extension widget layout problem.
Fixed saving of default formatted name settings.
Fixed formatted name handling in edit dialog.
Added an option for changing formatted names of many contacts
(menu: File - Change - Set formatted name).

QWhatsThis was not working on the Z ( only black rectangle was shown).
This is Fixed.

KDE-Sync:
Now readonly KDE resources are synced as well.
(They are not changed in KDE itself, of course).

Hi guinea-pigs,

I have made the view change in KO/Pi better.
The month view is now shown much faster.

Please try version 1.9.19 and report, if it works or if it not work.
The "not working" means, that it would be posibble that there are
some repainting errors when changing the view.
I have tested it and it is working great for me.
But maybe there is somewhere a hidden bug ...


********** VERSION 1.9.19 ************

Added a lot of missing translations to KA/Pi,
Added some missing translations to KO/Pi and OM/Pi.

Fixed some minor problems in KA/Pi + KO/Pi.

Fixed a crash when closing PwM/Pi.
Added German translation for PwM/Pi.

Made view change and Month View update faster in KO/Pi.
