Kde-pim/pi 2.0.16 Release
« Reply #120 on: April 05, 2005, 11:31:40 am »
I've noticed a bug in ko/pi 23.  When you bring up the "Event Viewer" dialog **with a double-tap** it does not get the focus and the buttons on the bottom (Agenda, Edit, and Close) to not react to taps.

On some screens the tap gets handled by the window under the dialog.  So, for example, bring it up over the month view, click Edit, and the month view screen creates a new event and brings up the Event Editor dialog to edit it (very confusing in this particluar case because you were expecting to edit the event being shown in the Event Viewer but the details are missing).

A work-around is to tap in the text area of the Event View dialog to give it the focus before tapping a button.

Confirmed. In addition, pressing the agenda button makes the topbar appear if you didn't have it previously. I don't see the point (hate, hate, hate the topbar). It also works the other way around: if you did have it (because you are a masochistic and tormented soul, I guess  ), it retracts.
The fact that the window under it keeps focus (and keybinds) can result in some pretty funky results indeed.
Eventually we will get rid of all double-click interactivity, it's just not very doable on a PDA.

No, pleeease... I like creating new events just double-tapclicking (  )...
Or, could we have a functional substitute? like, tapping with some key pressed to keep tap double func? (Let's say cursor middlebutton pressed + tap)  

[edit] Just saw 2.0.24 is out... arf, arf, I need some more training to keep pace...

sorry, i missed 2.023. I've upped 2.024 and from what i've seen so far, zautrix fixed all remaining reasons, i had to complain about.
Multiple selection AND context menu works fine in list view, next days starts on today - as far as i got all seems well. I'll be back as sonn as i found anything new.

Thanks for your great work.

a new bug in .24:
the fonts used in the configuration dialogs are at least 2 points bigger as the application font - not all options are visible and no scrollbars occurs so I can't configure until I switch to a very small font.

Silvio

It does seem Autrix suddenly turn half-blind, I have no idea why the config screens' fonts are so huge, but it's not exactly part of the fixes and improvements we had discussed
Right now I'm concentrating my testing on interactivity design and interoperability. I'll probably swwitch to thorough sync testing after that.
If you guys have any area in particular you want scrutinized, let me knnow.

Did you make sure to restart Kopi once you installed the new version? You might still have the old binary loaded.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=73581\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Well, it has crashed a few times when alarms were supposed to go off, plus there was the multiple times i rebooted to try to get the KO/pi alarm applet to show up (it still hasn't).  So i guess you could say i've restarted!  I remembered to disable quickload before doing the upgrade, of course.

I thought that when i started fresh with the bare cacko ROM and installed the PIMs without the cruft of the dtm/default PIMs, i'd have a lean-and-mean machine.  As it turns out, i've just had lots of troubles.

Can you comment at all on why the alarm applet isn't showing up, and why the system crashes when scheduled alarms go off?  I had problems before the update to .22 with alarms crashing the system after they sounded, but now they don't even sound, and the alarm applet is invisible.

I'm very sorry to hear about your troubles. I haven't had any troubles with alarms, but I use qpealarmclock for most alarms.
I'm going to test further and let you know, k?
Are you sure it's not something silly like selectin an alarm sound that no longer exists since you re-flashed Cacko? Are you also sure the Cacko flash didn't screw up? I was thinking that if the alarm applet was screwed up more people would complain, but the user base for the latest version might be limited.
In any case I'll keep you updated.

Who is Autrix?
And who has problems with writing (or reading) ?    

The config font worked for me.
But I changed it.
New version 2.0.25 available in some mintes.
After uploading I will answer your mail.

I am completely clueless what is wrong on your setup.

I am using Cacko 1.22 and have arbitrary crashes. But not on new alarms.
Now idea what the reason is.

The alarm applet shows up fine and  it shows alarms w/o problems for me (and others).

The alarm applet checks if the sound file exists.
If the specified file does not exists it's using the default system alarm sound.
Such that you get always some sound on an alarm.

Damn you.

I think the point was more that we have about 26 font settings, and yet you manage to come up with a new one that's not configurable

Cool. I've found some new bugs in the meantime.

it's not a bug - it's a feature  
but IMO it strongly suggests, that the sizing of the konfig screens does not work as well as the rest of PI. I think it has been mentioned on sourceforge

There are lots and lots of things not working properly. The bad code originally accepted in KDEPIM, the stuff resulting from the backport to QT2, and what broke when trying to adapt to the Z's interface.
The trick for Autrix (  ) is to fix stuff without having the whole playcard castle crumble around him.

This is turning out to be a very amusing thread  . ev1l, zautrix - perhaps you should get your own TV show or something
