Write Error When Saving Application Data
« on: February 23, 2005, 01:24:34 am »
dear people here in this forum.

i have stumbled upon a strange error when i was working on my c3000 (converted sharp) with kaddressbook 2.0.11 (actually it also happened with 2.0.3) , but it is still there after the update): i can't save my addressbook - the message i get tells me that
"There was an error while attempting to save the address book. Please check that some other application is not using it." Actually no other application has been started by me (and I couldn't find anything running in the background that could possibly work with the address book)

i tried to access my address book via zeditor, changed some name and wanted to save it. et voila:
"outfile.open(IO_WriteOnly ) : Please investigate the file..."

then i noticed that i was also unable to save my passwordmanager (pwm/pi) 2.0.11 data, though it didn't actually message an error.

next strange thing is that some application's behaviour (to be changed on the desktop) like 'display with magnified screen' couldn't be changed any longer.

to me it seemed as if i was having only restricted access to my zaurus, slightly like logging in as a different user with less rights - on the other hand i wouldn't have any idea on how i should have managed to do this...

saving on sd is still absolutely no problem, though.

it's difficult to say, which other applications i have installed prior to noticing that strange behaviour. I definitely tried out the latest kino2 (with mplayer and bvdd), but after uninstalling them, nothing had changed. opie reader was installed, too, but 0.7h didn't really work, 0.7f didn't properly display .chm files and neither did 0.7g. again, after getting rid of it, still the zaurus refuses to save.

any help is really appreciated.
