KOrganizer / KO/Pi (KOrganizer Platform independent)

[cgav8r]

Does anyone have a problem when they uninstall/ upgrade versions?  Whenever I uninstall then reinstall my fonts get all small and the colors go away.  Also, the buttons on the toolbar don\'t appear (they are there, just no icons).  When I try to reboot it just hangs on the splash screen.

This is how I do it:
1) uninstall
2) install upgraded version
3) funky display
4) reboot
5) hung z

anyone?

@cortez:
The bug you reported should be fixed in latest version 1.6.5b.
Please update and try again. ( And report, if it is working)

@amdonati:
No, there is currently no possibility to export it back to DTM.
Will be implemented later, maybe.
Depends on how difficult it is.

Syncing with windows:
Just connect your Zaurus via samba to your Windows box.
Then you can access the zaurus from Windows.
Have a SD-Card formatted with ext2 or msdos(FAT) permanently in your zaurus.
Move your (home)/Applications/korganizer directory to a directory on the SD-card.
Make a symlink from (home)/Applications/korganizer to that dir.
Now you can sync from Windows KO/Pi easily with the zaurus (home)/Applications/korganizer/mycalendar.ics file.

@havoc:
No idea, why your zaurus crashed - sorry.

@cgav8r
Please do not de-install the alarm together with kopi. Deinstall the alarm and then close the installation program.

Zautrix, thanks for the reply.

Today I sync\'s \"manually (but copying the mycalender file!  ) but your solution wseems qutie straightforward.
I\'ll try this later!

zautrix: what\'s the reason for formatting the SD to ext2? I already use the method you describe above for syncing with winblows at work with a FAT formatted SD and connect as Storage via USB, works fine as far as I can tell. I\'m hesitant to format my SD card as I\'ve read some have reported their cards get finicky when formated with non FAT file systems.
Cheers,
Jerry

[zautrix]

Yes, you are right: It should work with a dos formatted sd-card as well.
I will change my posting above.

Just installed 1.6.5b and imported my Sharp calendar succesfully. The all-day event bug is fixed. A job well done, works like a charm!

Small(?) request: How hard would it be to build in a \"cross out\" option. In the Psion time, one could mark an entry as completed,
without the entry being removed from the calendar. Crossed out entries appeared with a line through them, and any
alarms for these entries were cancelled. Well, wouldn\'t that be nice?  :wink:

[havoc]

z, one thought:  When you set alarms for all-day events, if you want to be reminded 5 days before your anniversary, you get an alarm at MIDNIGHT!  This doesn\'t help me with my relationship with my sweet wife.

If you happen to be tweaking code in the area, it would be sweet if the alarms on all-day events sounded at the \"start-of-working hours.\"  I don\'t know if this is a \"feature\" of Korganizer propper, or not.  If it\'s a KO feature, it would be nice if you could manage to push this back into the main line.

Tanks!

zautrix, awesome job with kopi.  I\'ve retired my tkc apps on my c860 in favor of it.   I\'ve got just a couple of minor issues to mention:

- I uncovered an alarm bug today.  I have a weekly occurring event that spans ~2 months with a couple of exceptions and an alarm set.  The alarm went off today even though this is an exception week.

- A minor feature request: Any chance that alarms (especially for todo\'s) could be alternately set to a specific date & time, rather than being relative to the \"due date\"?

- Another: could the todo category colors (perhaps as an option) be applied as the text foreground color rather than as the background color?  (I find the color field that results currently to be visually unappealing.)

- A suggestion: a separate font choice for the small todo view (as on the 7-day display) would be useful, as a bigger font is preferable on the full-screen todo view while a smaller font is preferable on the small view.

- A packaging bug: your ipk installs kopi into a tab called \"Pim\", yet the pre-existing tab name on the Sharp ROM is called \"PIM\".  As a result, kopi installs to a new tab that has no icon and no title (there\'s no .directory file in it).  If you rename the directory in your ipk to \"PIM\" this will be fixed.  Also, could you include \"CanFastload=1\" in the .desktop file, so we don\'t have to add it manually?  (Honoring the fast load protocol -- i.e. not displaying on initial fastload & boot -- would be nice too.)

Thanks for all!

PS: Is there a place to make donations for all your hard work on this?

z, I got a note from SourceForge.net yesterday (?) that they have made a donation system available to all projects.  This might be something worth looking into if you don\'t mind jumping through the hoops if you dont\' already have a sourceforge project established.

Also, there\'s Amazon.com\'s \"tip jar.\"  I don\'t know what percentage of a cut they take.

I\'m having a problem with ko/pi 1.6.5b on zynergy 5600 ROM.  I\'ve used other versions of it successfuly (1.6.3b was the last successful, I think).  With the latest version, it won\'t launch from the icon, and from the terminal, I get the following error:

Code: [Select]

korganizer: error while loading shared libraries: korganizer: undefined symbol : __11KDatePickerP7QWidgetG5QDatePCc

I have alarms 1.6.2b installed, and haven\'t uninstalled it since it came out.

Any idea what could be causing this?
EDIT: As pointed out below, the alarm is 1.6.2a, not b.

[bluedevils]

I thought the latest alarm was 1.6.2a.

@cortez
I do not understand what you do mean with the \"cross out option\".
Can you give some more information?

@havoc
I see the problem with the allday event alarm as well.
But I have to think about a good solution some time.
Your suggestion with start at working hours is not bad ...

@raybert
- Thank you for finding and reporting the alarm bug.
It should be fixed in 1.6.6b.
I have fixed some more problem with recurring events in 1.6.6b ...
-Your proposal is good!
I will make it configurable in a later version, that the todo category colors (as an option) can be applied as the text foreground color.
- A separate font choice will be useful, I agree!
- The installing in the Pim Tab is no bug. The ROM I am using (Cacko-Qtopia) has the Pim tab. CanFastload=1 is now included.

If you want support KO/Pi, do not make a donation, do just testing the application with some advanced configuration ( as your exeption in recurring events above ) and report bugs if something is not working. That would help me more than some money.

@brycenut
I have no idea what is wrong.
Plaese try the latest version again.

@ALL

KO/Pi can now sync with Sharp DTM data.
Such that you can get your data easily from Outlook<->Sharp DTM<->KO/Pi.
Please test this new feature and report, if it is working/ not working.

Syncing with DTM on my SL5500 works perfectly. Hats off to you, Zautrix - this is a great piece of software!

I think that db2file was left out of the installation script, so I had to copy this to my bin directory.  After doing this, sync worked a treat.

Could I request one minor feature: I\'ve assigned KO/PI to the calendar button, and it would be handy if pressing this button with KO/PI open changed the view, like it does with datebook.

I was holding off using KO/PI until DTM sync was in place, but now it is working it\'s great

Daniel

Awesome!  Thanks z!

A suggestion to handle the PIM tab installation: in your package, install the .desktop file to a neutral location; I\'d recommend: $QTHOME/apps/Applications because it will make a good fall-back.  Then use a postinst script with something like this:

Code: [Select]

cd /home/QtPalmtop/apps

if [ -d ./Pim ]; then mv ./Applications/korganizer.desktop ./Pim/.; fi

if [ -d ./PIM ]; then mv ./Applications/korganizer.desktop ./PIM/.; fi
Then, of course, you would also need a postrm script to remove it from whichever location it was installed to; like this:

Code: [Select]

cd /home/QtPalmtop/apps

if [ -f ./Pim/korganizer.desktop ]; then rm ./Pim/korganizer.desktop; fi

if [ -f ./PIM/korganizer.desktop ]; then rm ./PIM/korganizer.desktop; fi

If you want support KO/Pi, do not make a donation, do just testing the application with some advanced configuration ( as your exeption in recurring events above ) and report bugs if something is not working. That would help me more than some money.

Okay, no problem.  I can surely do that!

Excellent Zautrix - thanks for this enhancement. This makes the package usable for me now. I think I suggested this a while back, so I\'m glad you\'ve focussed your energy on the PIM and not the sync mechanism (although, of course, if you still want to make a sync mechanism, by all means!). One question/request: Can you make a flag that auto-syncs to the DTM database upon execution and also upon closing?

Thanks a million!
