KDE-Pim/Pi 1.9.6 Release

[zautrix]

While I am now quite addicted to kopi especially (I have a C860, a windows laptop for work and a SuSE workstation at home) the one feature I really miss from the vanilla KOrganizer is the ability to (re)parent ToDo's using drag-and-drop.  Right now I can't figure out how to do it at all in kopi without deleting the todo and re-creating it under the intended parent.  

Do you anticipate being able to add this (in the next version or whenever) or is it perhaps not feasable to implement?  Drag-and-drop is always kind of awkward on a PDA, but I believe it's there in Qt/Embedded anyway, and it would be super useful.

DnD is in Qt/Embedded, but - as far as I know - not in the version of Qt/Embedded which is in the Sharp rom.
There are several features disabled.

But I agree, reparenting todos would be very useful.

I have to fing a useable way to do this w/o DnD...

it would be nice to be able to sync a catagory of contacts. im sure it woudl be a pita but if i could sync my Work contacts at work only so my z ends up being a master address book. sync home and personal with my workstation at home. same thing with appointments ect... seperation of data so work dosnt know when im meeting my gf for lunch or when my new job interview is

what does everyone else think
?

It should be already possible to do something like this.

If you choose "write back on remote existing enrties only" in the sync profile,

you will not write back your personal data.

But you cannot create a new  work contact on the Z, of course.
Only on the "work" computer you can create new contacts.

It should be possible via bluetooth.

But I don't know whether Motorola phones will be synced at all.

The only thing I can say is:
Nokia phones via infrared are working.

z.

Well, Nokia uses, as far as I know standard Vcal format for its data.
The same should be true for Sony-Ericsson and, I am quite sure, Motorola.

If I am not wrong (Zautrix please correct me ), this would allow the syncing to work will all these Mobiles.

I would be happy to try this out as soon as I have some time.

Wow!  There are sure a log of posts on the K Opie Mail PI program  (So, K-Mail and Opie-Mail are talking about the same program?  I've heard them mentioned as if they were seperate programs).

I skimmed over most of it looking for a solution to a problem I'm having.  snufkin (in this thread) and slocaus (in another thread - <here> ) have both mentioned it previously but I couldn't find a response to their inquiries anywhere.

I'm getting

Code: [Select]

Error 39 Initializing Folderwhenever I click on my POP3 account on the list.  I can send e-mail, but it doesn't show up in the "Sent" folder, nor in the "Sentfailed" folder.

Does anyone know what this error means?

I'm guessing that the program isn't able to write to the needed directories.  If that's correct, how do I fix it?

But first... here are my specs and background details.  (This will be long to make sure I don't miss anything that might be a needed clue):

My read-only 1 GB MMC Card setup

A while ago I bought a 1 GB MMC card ($99... nice deal   ) but I couldn't get it to work.  After a few long threads we determined that it was a hardward timing issue that that this card simply doesn't work with the Zaurus SD Card Slot hardware.  The system can read from the card just fine, but each thread that attempts to write to the card never completes (the thread freezes until the thread is manually closed, the unit it suspended/resumed, or a few other tricks).  I instead set up my 1 GB MMC card as a read-only card by removing all of the write and execute privedges on the /mnt/card directory (I think that was it... not sure), which successfuly made the card read-only.

My read-write 256 MB SD Card setup

I then bought a 256 MB SD card (Aldi - $29) and it worked on the Zaurus as both read and write.  No problems at all that I could notice.  I therefore reset the priveledges on the /mnt/card directory (or was it the mnt.rom directory?) back to full priveledges to everyone.  It is my goal to use this 256 MB SD card to store my e-mail while having a Wireless (or Ethernet) card in the CF card slot.

Getting my K-Opie Mail To Work With My SD Card

To do this I pointed the /home/zaurus/kdepim/apps/kopiemail/localmail to my SD card.  Specifically, I renamed /home/zaurus/kdepim/apps/kopiemail/localmail to /home/zaurus/kdepim/apps/kopiemail/old (since the terminal wouldn't let me delete the directory, even though it was empty).  I then created a simlink called localmail in the same directory that pointed to /mnt/card/Documents/ompi.  The e-mail program has created various directories in the /mnt/card/Documents/ompi location on my SD card, but no files (all of the directories are empty).

Did I create the simlink incorrectly?  What else should I look for?  Any ideas?

Hi Tony,

thanks for reporting this.

KOpieMail cannot store messages on MSDOS formatted media.
This will be fixed in next version.
Available in 3 or 10 days.
( I did never see such strange code for saving a file...
it uses the link/unlink command. Because there are no links on
MSDOS formatted media, saving fails).

I will look at the POP3 account error as well.
But don't know if I can get the error such that I can fix it. we will see...

Cool!  Thanks!  

The simlink is in the internal non-DOS flash.  The SD card is MS-DOS.  I've used this approach on many of Zaurus applications before, such as Stratagus (WarCraftII) and others, and it works because the actual simlink isn't on the DOS formated media, while still pointing to a DOS formated media.

So, Error 39 can be roughly translated to: "Unsupported File System Type"?

I look forward to the new version of K Opie Mail.  Thanks so much for your time and efforts!

zautrix- this is so cool.  KDE-Pim/Pi truly makes the Z a tool to rely on.  Thanks for your efforts.
