My question again is on how to pass the information on my Zaurus to Outlook.  I am having trouble understanding the Jerrybme, sorry. 
Thanks.
You can copy the mycalendar.ics to your desktop computer, then import into Outlook, unfortunately this is not syncing and if there are duplicate events in your Outlook, you\'ll have duplicate entries once you import. So far there is no way to truly sync with Outlook. What I do is maintain my calendar on my desktop PC, then export the ics file from Outlook, copy it to my Z, delete the mycalendar.ics file, then import the outlook.ics file into KO/PI. If I make changes in my KO/PI, I have to manually re-enter them into Outlook before I export from Outlook.

The little that I know I will.
Another newbie problem. I\'m having trouble installing zical on my Z.  Can you please tell me what the procedure is?  I can\'t seem to remember how I did it the first time.

A quick search of the forums didn\'t turn anything up on this so I thought I would mention it.

Here is a link to a win32 app on sourceforge.net call Outport. It exports Outlook data through Outlook\'s COM interface to a variety of formats, including .ics. Though it states \"Evolution Calendar\", the resulting ics file works fine in kopi as well. At least it does on my 860.

Hope this helps someone.

Can KO/PI truly sync with the ics file or do the time stamps get set on export from Outlook?

as far as i know, ko/pi does not sync with anything, on a windows or linux platform. you can take the file that ko/pi uses (the .ics file) and copy it to another machine or vice versa, but there is no true synchronization.

All outport does is take the calendar information in Outlook and put it in a file that ko/pi uses.

I have true sync with KOrganizer to my Linux box!   KO/Pi is the port of KOrganizer from x86 to ARM.  I can make changes/additions in either my desktop or my Zaurus, and at sync, KO/Pi will ask what to do (user setting) if there are conflicts.

ZAUTRIX was able to get true, real, actual, honest-to-god sync working if you sync with linux!  I don\'t know about others since all I use is Linux.

Hi,

a new version with less bugs ( e.g. the crash when deleting events is fixed )
is available at
www.pi-sync.net/daunlood/latest/korganizer_1.6.1d_arm.ipk

The latest sources are

www.pi-sync.net/daunlood/latest/korgenizerPi.161d.tar.gz

I have fixed most of the repainting bugs, but when moving todos in the all-day agenda, there are still (repainting) bugs.

The version 1.6.1d is compatible with the 1.6.1c alarm/addressbook-plugins.

Ko/Pi actually syncs with every local *.ics file.
It syncs with a remote *.ics file via ssh.

z.

oops. my mistake.

It\'s very cool that we zaurus users finally have a strong calendaring / todo app and the fact that is does sync is putting it over the edge.

great work zautrix

I have a feature request.  Would it be possible to set a default suspend time that will come up in the alarm dialog?

I find the 7 minutes difficult to change while the alarm is sounding, and if I silence the alarm, of course it cannot be changed.  When I need to suspend an alarm, I find that 30 minutes is what I need, but I\'m sure we all have our favorite procrastination time.

Hello everybody,

I\'ve written a little command line tool to generate vCalendar records for public holidays (especially variable ones like Easter), anniversaries, etc from tab separated text files.  I\'ve written it primarily for my personal needs, so the sample file contains rules for German, Austrian and Swiss holidays.  Yet it should be adaptable for other countries, too. It has been successfully tested with the latest version of KO/Pi. Please tell me your experiences.

Thanks
