TOO COOL!  I just installed 1.7.0b and downloaded the windows version also.  Now I can sync with a file on my Linux Users Group account from my Windows PC at work.  When I\'m at home I can sync the Z to the same file from my wireless home network.  I ran into a few problems and thought I would post my solutions FYI.

Had to copy the mycalendar.ics file to my LUG (Linux Users Group) account.

Downloaded PUTTY which included the program PSCP.exe

Copied PSCP.exe to c:winnt and renamed it scp.exe so KoPi could use it.

Had to use the short name path in the \"Local Temp File\" settings.
For me it was C:Docume~1DDavenportkorganizertempsyncfile.ics

On the Zaurus I never got prompted for a password.  The command that KoPi issued with my password did not seem to work either.  I had to use ssh-keygen and set up my LUG account and the Zaurus for a no-password login.
---
Just have to say it works great!  Awsome software.  Many thanks to the people involved.

First of all, let me say that I installed 1.7.0b last night, and this is a great app. Thank you very much, zautrix, for the app and the apparent active maintenance. Now that I\'ve given you your strokes, please allow me to be critical.

I\'m trying to sync with iCal on Mac OS X 10.2.8. After having some problems, I created an empty .ics file on the Mac and synced with that. No problem. I can sync as many times as I want. The synced file on the Mac is pretty much the same size as on the Z. This is around 140KB! Seems like there\'s something strange with that; I don\'t think I have that many meetings. I run iCal, and a number of meetings are duplicates, all starting and ending at the same time. KO/Pi doesn\'t show the duplicates, but iCal does. I quit iCal, and the .ics file is 22KB. I can sync, and no changes are made to either the iCal or Z calendars.

Now, I attempt to delete a duplicated meeting on iCal. I do so, quit iCal, and then attempt to sync. KO/Pi crashes. A quick check shows that the iCal .ics file was copied to the Z, so the crash must have occurred during the reconciliation process.

So, what gives? I\'d be happy to email you both files or check specific things in the files; just let me know. I scanned through the files a bit, but they\'re too large for anything to pop out as wrong.

I have two requests for todos:

1. Repeating todos. For example, one that reminds me each month to pay the mortgage.

2. Ability to reduce the todos shown in all views to only those due within a certain number of days (or, at least, only those past their start dates).

Quick question. Using landscape mode.  Is there a way to some how minimize the size of  the screen so all to the KO/PI functions came be seen? It seems that the  Zaurus screen size is not enough to see the complete KO/PI screen.

Hope I explained myself correctly.

thanks

Can one of the moderators just sticky this thread? I think it\'s important/popular enough to warrant that.

@dino:
thx for the info!

@stiber:
there is already a thread about syncing with iCal.
Please look in the Mac Issues forum.
(KO/Pi can sync with iCal)
iCal has a really strange behaviour.
Currently I do not have the time to fix these iCal Problems.
Maybe the thread in the Mac forum may help you.

Repeating todos would be great, but I do not have the time to implement this now.
Maybe I can implement it in some months...

@manfly2000:
Sorry, but the landscape mode is not useable on a 320x240 display.
It took me hours to make KO/Pi useable on non-landscape mode for the 240x320 display.
Probably it would take days to make it useable on landscape mode as well ...

Hi,  First ... awsome app!!!    KO/Pi is easily the application I use the most.


Some ideas/tweaks I\'d like to see to improve the UI a bit:

o keyboard shortcut for adding a sub-todo item

o in whats next view, for the tasks show the hierachy of parents in bracets eg \"chocolate (shopping/)\"  this will give context.

o sub-todo inherits categories from parent

o for project management it would be quite helpful to be able to focus to one todo and it\'s children (ie only show that task and it\'s children)

o The filters are kind of weak at the moment, possible improvements ...
  - a way of getting directly to edit filters, from either menu or keyboard
  - more options on filters  ... eg filtering on priority/due date/location/overdue, automatic inclusion of subtasks etc, etc

o in find dialog, would be nice if return in the search string was hooked up to find action, similarly with OK button (currently it just closes the dialog)

o a way of previewing the alarm that is set

Anyway, great work on KO/Pi

cheers,

Alexei

Hi Alexei,

thank you for your suggestions.
Suggestions to make KO/Pi more userfriendly are always appreciated.
I implemented this morning some of your suggestions
(while having my morning coffee...).

The next version will be available in some days, I have implemented new configuration possibilities for several sync profiles ( and a multiple sync possibility ).
It will take some time to test the new sync functionality...
 

o keyboard shortcut for adding a sub-todo item
- <ctrl> (or <shift>) s in next version.

o in whats next view, for the tasks show the hierachy of parents in bracets eg \"chocolate (shopping/)\" this will give context.
- I implemented a hierachy view of sub-todos in whats next view.
  A sub-todo, which is not shown below its parent in this view( because of parent has lower prio ), is show as chocolate [shopping] in this view.
  ( As you suggested ).

o sub-todo inherits categories from parent
- Useful. Implemented in next version.

o for project management it would be quite helpful to be able to focus to one todo and it\'s children (ie only show that task and it\'s children)
- This will not be implemented.
  Please define a categorie ( in the listview you can set categories for multiple entries quickly ) and use a filter for this problem.

o The filters are kind of weak at the moment, possible improvements ...
- a way of getting directly to edit filters, from either menu or keyboard
  - <ctrl> (or <shift>)  f in next version.

- more options on filters ... eg filtering on priority/due date/location/overdue, automatic inclusion of subtasks etc, etc
  - would be useful. Maybe I will add some settings later ...

o in find dialog, would be nice if return in the search string was hooked up to find action, similarly with OK button (currently it just closes the dialog)
- fixed in next version

o a way of previewing the alarm that is set
- would be useful. Maybe I will add this later ...

Hi

Love Korganizer

From time to time, Korganizer locks at startup and won\'t start until I reboot (Z 5500, Sharp 3.1).  The icon changes to the start icon, but it doesn\'t proceed from there.  Most times it works fine, although slower to start than the proprietary Sharp organizer.  I\'m suspecting it may be a memory issue as I have very little memory left free when Korganizer is running.  

Cheers

zautrix, after upgrading to 1.70, the time required to save the data file jumped from ~7 seconds to ~70 seconds.  I checked the size of the file, and it is has grown, but not by an order of magnitude.

Something makes me think that there could be some external factor involved in this, or it may be something in the data that has caused things to slow down.  During the file writing process, the Zaurus is completely unusable and unresponsive.

Got any thoughts on that?

Help-]FAQ-]

Q:
Saving of data is very slow. Is there a possibility to make it faster?
A:
As the default, KO/Pi saves the text as Unicode if needed.
This is needed for Korean and other asian languages for instance.
If you use english (or german or other similar languages),
you may try the \'Quick save\' option. It works for these languages without
problem and is up to four times faster when saving.
Choose:  Menu: Actions-Configure. Second tab ( Locale ).
Enable Quick save ( w/o Unicode).

===] Oh-yes!!! ;-)

Zautrix,

What is the status of remainders working in the win version of KoPi? I am only missing that to completely \"forget\" Outlook\" but without the reminder popups it is a bit less useful...

Thanks for the great work!

ps: Well,having icons linked to appointments, like in the good old DateBK would be very nice too! ;-)

zautrix, I love you!

How many times have you had to answer that question?  Ack!

Well, I know that the FAQ say that the alarm/reminder function is not ready yet, but it is a quite important function for a Calendar.
I like Ko/Pi and would like to use it fully on all my systems!
My was only asking what the scheudle is for adding this function!

Cheers,
Adalberto

Hi amdonati,

I agree, that alarm/reminder function is a quite important function for a Calendar.
I hope to get it working on windows ( you will need to have KO/Pi running ) in 1-2 weeks.

Are you Italian speeking?
Maybe you are interested in doing an Italian translation of KO/Pi?
