Wierd.  Phones shown are Work and Work Fax.  Both display as "Other" in KA 1.9.2

Hi all,

I hope, we have fixed all known bugs.

Please download the version 1.9.2a and try again.
(It is release 1.9.2 with files replaced).

It should work much better than 1.9.2.

Hi Zautrix,

I found a very minor bug: the mail program is now called ompi but the Pim desktop file, /home/QtPalmtop/apps/Pim/kmicromail.desktop, still refers to kmpi.  Making that change makes it work.

Other than this, everything else seems to work fine.

Keep up the good work - it's much appreciated.

Daniel

zautrix:
KDEPim/PI is added to OpenEmbedded as CVS version. Later I'll look into CVS and probably add 1.9.2b version (if it is tagged in CVS of You will add source archive into SF files).
Already builded are Ko/Pi and Ka/Pi with applet and all needed libraries. Adding Km/Pi is next task - first we have to look what changes You made to libmailwrapper and maybe incorporate them into upstream version.

Speaking of libraries... it would be very nice if you bump revision of libraries between changes - Ko/Pi 1.7.8 has libraries 1.0 and Ko/Pi 1.9.2 still has libraries 1.0 but they are changed so it was main source of problems.

Ok, I uninstalled version 1.9.1 and installed 1.9.2a to my Sandisk 512 SD card. Unlike before, the installation went seamless onto the SD card. But when I opened KA/PI I again had "Other" for all the contact numbers. Here is an example.  Like it was mentioned earlier, the numbers look fine in the exported card, but shows up as "others" in KA/PI. I also emailed them to you as you requested.

Keep up the great work!

Update - I was able to resolve the "other" phenomenon with the following simple proceedure.
I just went into KA/pi and "selected all" on all the contacts with "other" as all the contact numbers and Deleted them all.
I then went back into KA/pi (there were no contacts at this point). Re-imported the back-up CSV I had and voila! All my contacts were correct.

So for now, if you are going to install 1.9.2a, I would recommend exporting all your contacts into a CSV back-up before you begin.

Hello roderickv and all other guinea pigs,

the vcard entry you sent me is not correct in the sense, that KA/Pi does not know how to interpret the different phonenumbers. It does simply not know in which category each number belongs.

>TEL:(614) 232-xxxx
>TEL:(614) 232-xxxx
>TEL:(614) 529-xxxx


Because of that it categorizes all of them as "other". Don't ask my why it eventually displayed the correct types in 1.9.1 and earlier.

Anyway. The correct form for phonenumbers look like the following lines:

TEL;TYPE=FAX;TYPE=WORK:(614) 232-xxxx
TEL;TYPE=WORK:(614) 232-xxxx
TEL;TYPE=CAR:(614) 529-xxxx
TEL;TYPE=FAX;TYPE=HOME:(614) 567-xxxx
TEL;TYPE=HOME:(614) 838-xxxx

If you check your adressbook and find this kind of wrong entries (like described above), you should consider to reimport your addressbook into KA/Pi.

thanks,
Ulf

After trying these programs, I decided to remove them, which I did with no problems, then after exiting "Add/Remove Software", I found nothing worked anymore, if I tapped an icon, nothing happened, so I rebooted and the machine hangs on the startup screen, anyone have any ideas before I have to reflash?  I have not done a backup this week yet, so I'll loose a lot of stuff

What hardware/software combination do you have?
What did you had installed and then removed?

If you had installed the alarm-applet maybe there went something wrong when deinstalling.
It it is not a hardware failure or a bug in the installer which screwed up something
maybe it would help if you boot into console and remove the alarm applet manually.

It is in   /home/QtPalmtop/plugins/applets/libkopialarmapplet.so.1.0.0

Did you had enabled fastload?

z.

[padishah_emperor]

Yes I had fastload on for one of the apps, I thought qpe.conf had entries listing the fastload apps, so I could edit it manually, but I can't find any such entries.  Also vi or mc dont work properly from the console - no scrolling so reading/editing config files is near impossible.  Unless you know something different, it's a reflash case.

The libkopialarmapplet.so.1.0.0 was removed anyway during uninstall, no problems, I suspect the fastload thingy..

Then I guess, there was some of the other files not removed properly.
Try to remove
/home/QtPalmtop/lib/libmicro*.*
and
/home/QtPalmtop/bin/kopi
/home/QtPalmtop/bin/kapi

z.

[padishah_emperor]

No it's not that, those files are gone. I'm going to reflash now, been trying to start Qtopia manually and its complaining that libjpeg.so.62 is missing, I'd love to find the actual cause but I need a working machine back again.  Thanks for your help.

[Chero]

I m posting this from my Z - so dont mind the layout

I think i know where the "other" thing comes from

KaPi on windows users upper case for HOME  -  CELL  -  WORK  etc

KaPi on zaurus uses lower case

once you copy your std.vcf from one to another, the numbers are all marked as "other" and if you save, the HOME, etc are gone

[Chero]

forgot this :

if you manually change from upper to lower for a few contact, then these are read correctly while the others still have "other" phone numbers
