KDE-Pim/Pi 1.9.6 Release

[bluedevils]

am i the only unlucky guy???  

- can't open ompi in gui.  i've got an error msg of missing libssl.so.0.9.7 but i can't find in ZSI.

I also can't ompi.  commandline says that libssl.so.0.9.7 is missing.  I can't find any libssl\* file, but I assume this is supposed to be part of the openssl package?

It's me again with another (real) problem. I imported all my data from DTM to KA/PI, did some edits and exited. KA/PI. I then tried starting KA/PI again and it didn't start. Starting from the command line gives:

zaurus@z:~ 2 %This happens immediately, I get no KA/PI screen. I would think it might be a problem with the .vcf file (I have almost 500 contacts in it). So, is there a way of finding out exactly which entry it's crashing at? Perhaps a command-line switch or an environment variable that would list every entry it reads so it's possible to debug.

Thank you for testing the KDEPim suite.

There is probably something wrong with one of the contacts in your file.
Please close Ka/Pi, then take your addressbookfile (/home/zaurus/kdepim/apps/kabc/std.vcf) and try to find out which entry (contact) causes the crash. You can do that with a try and error approach and split the file always halfways.

I will think about a debug option while loading contacts. But this option will be first available in one of the next versions.

Ah, and guys, if you have enhancement requests or real bugs like this one, please post them also at sourceforge. That helps us to keep track on things.

thanks,
Ulf

However, I now have the slight problem that selecting either of "send with timezone" or "local timezone" results in the time being sent as GMT (UTC). Wheras, here in Englandland, it's now British Summer Time (BST), 1 hour ahead. So all my appointments look an hour early.

So, I *ahem* withdraw my feature request as "error between screen and keyboard" and instead submit a bug that "send as local timezone" doesn't appear to work properly - I can't tell whether that's because it's sending UTC or because it's ignoring Summer Time.


I shall go and stand in a corner with this pointy hat on....

Hello Henley Regatta,

please post this as a enhancement request at Sourceforge.

thanks for your interest in the KDEPim suite.

I have only had two problems so far.

1. I beamed my address book from a palm to the C860 and then imported it into KAPI, it wooked good but when I tried to run KAPI the next time, it crashed with ne error message on the GUI.
It turned out that I had some malformed EMAIL entries in the VCF file that stretched over four lines like...

Email No email
Email address was
Email Located **
Email *** e(((ed **

And this was crashing KAPI

Marke some better junk trapping is needed

Hello Clive,

thanks for using and testing the KDEPim suite.

Could you please file a bugreport on our sorceforge site, adding a test addressfile as a demonstration for us to fix this crash.

The address is
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/

thanks,
Ulf

I would do, but it appears to already be covered by Bug #1035982. So I'll just watch that instead.

I have, however, submitted My own bug - 1037859 for my menu-key not working feature...

Thanks again for the great work!

Hello, to all that have problems loading their kaddressbookfile.

I found the problem that causes KaPi most likely to crash. The reason is that during
import/sync of external data (like from SharpDTM),
KA/Pi transfers/translates certain characters not correctly.
Please open your addressbook file with an ascii editor and search for the character combination
^M\n

whereas ^M is one carriagereturn (0x0d) character and \n are two ascii characters.
Mostlikely this happens in the NOTES or the ADR entry.
If you remove the ^M character from the spots, you should be able to load the file again.

We are still trying to figure out if this is a problem with the source data when syncing the data into Ka/Pi the first time. (Question: How did you get the data into Ka/Pi when you saw this error. Syncing from DTM?)

Let me know if this workaround helped you.

Just a quick note to say that I've added a bug report at Sourceforge; I've confirmed my earlier finding that, if I delete an entry from my Zaurus address book it is ADDED BACK on next sync, rather than deleted from my desktop Kaddressbook file.

Great job, though.

Ulf, That did it!

It's a bit hard to get a ^M into most editors since they confuse it with the Enter key, so just for the record, this is what I did in the command line:

$ cd kdepim/apps/kabc
$ mv std.vcf std.vcf.old
$ tr -d '\r' < std.vcf.old > std.vcf

'tr' is a standard Unix tool that translates a character into another, with the -d option it deletes all occurrences of the given character. \r is the way to tell it to use ^M as a character.

And yes, I did get the data originally with DTM sync and I have my original DTM file, if you need me to do some testing.

Since the latest version (1.9.6) I am having troubles importing birthdays.
I tried to run kopi from the konsole to see if there are any error messages diplayed. but I could not find one.

The problem is that birthdays I enter in the addressbook just do not appear in kopi.
Is anyone else having the same problems? Or is it just a wierd setting on my side?

PS: the dialog that asks if I want to import birthdays appears. And after that .... nothing

Thanks

I am sorry , that I did not mention it:

We have changed the internal application communication and import birtdays is not yet implemented again.

Well.. that explains a lot

Any ideas on when this feature will be reintroduced?

Thanks

Interesting Problem today with version 1.9.3, synced with Outlook to DTM then to KO, appointments for October appear on the relevant days in November! They are correct in Sharp Pim.

Entry changed from November to October was correct.

[mikew]

Just noticed, when you open the November entries they have the October date!
