Hi Z,

Do I have to uninstall the previous version or this package will automatically overlay the old one?

Thanks!

Hey, zautrix, if it's not too much trouble for you, mind providing a list of what files have been modified and what files have been added? If it's easy for you to do, it'd make my life easier when integrating this (and future) release(s) into my ROM. Instead of replacing all files and checking that all files are linked properly into /home, I'd only have to replace the modified files, and link a few new ones, as I don't believe all the images (and such files) would change often.

Again, only if it's no trouble for you to create such a list.

Hi zautrix, here's some feedback :

I had a very old (1.7.5 I think) version of Ko/Pi.

I uninstalled all the old packages and installed all the new ones through the graphical package manager (Cacko ROM Elena 1.21b).

At first I had some "this package seems to depend on other packages, please install them too" messages (although I started with kdemicrollib), but no errors otherwise.

Ko/Pi started without problem, found my old calendar file, migrated it and told me so, ran me through the settings dialogs. Very nice and user-friendly. This was late last night so I didn't test all the new stuff and options (alarms, sync, beaming etc.) but all seems to be well.

Ka/Pi (which I didn't have before) also started and imported my DTM address book without problem. Looks like a very nice app !

Pwmanager also runs well and looks good. Do you consider it stable enough that we should transfer existing stuff from ZSafe or similar ?

The only problem I found is with kopiemail : the icon "expodes" and stays that way, but nothing shows up, no error message. Is this a known problem from previous versions (a missing lib or package or something) ?

Again, thanks for all the good work and for one of the most useful "killer apps" set of packages for the Z !

I have the same problem with kopiemail

[fourfun]

Found that I fad no openssl. Downloaded and installed openssl_0.9.7d_arm.ipk and kopiemail now seem sto work fine.

Thats unbelieveable ... I actually forgot to mention again, that you need
openssl to run kopiemail.
Please look at
http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/

and search there for openssl 0.9.7.

Actually it seems so, that the second entry in the what's new section points to the needed package...

zautrix: add dependency info to your packages - this way users will have information what is missing

[fpp]

openssl : yes, that did it... as I went straight from 1.7.5 to 1.9.10, I had missed that hint in the looong 1.9.6-1.9.9 threads :-)

Thanks !

PwManager should be stable on each plattform as long as you do not try to share  your passwordfile with PwManager on another plattform.


We have still some inter-platform compatibilitiy issues, but we are currently working on those.

Nevertheless, syncing and handling of the passwords already works. So please test, test, test...

Ah, and if you have any questions, please check the FAQ of pwmanager first.
This should answer some of your questions.

Thank you for packaging these files according to OS. Makes it much easier to download!

Excellent work on the PIM apps, by the way. Delightful to see such a responsive project producing usable applications.

Thanks.

Hmm, (what I think is) a minor feature request, involving the sync process...

First, using scp, which cannot have the password passed to it as an argument... The sync process does not ask for the password, and fails instead. The exact same scp command works fine on the command line, except that it asks for the password first.

Second, it would be nice to only synchronized certain categories, maybe allowing multiple categories to be selected, as some programs, like OS X's iCal, store different categories, so to speak, in different files. Files like Home.ics, School.ics, Work.ics, etc.

Hi:

I have a problem using kopiemail. I've set up my IMAP account data, but when I try to download mail it just freezes, like some top-priority process is running, the screen becomes irresponsive to touch.

After a while the message "Fetching folder list" flashes, then disappears, then it just sits there, the screen doesn't react to touch, I can switch to home by pressing the Home key on the Z, but then can't return to kopiemail.

Thought the freezup was due to a bad name in the Settings where it asks for the Local mail folder, but fixed it that there's no slashes, just a folder name, and it still behaves the same.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

Later.

I've got a rather full Sharp 3.13 ROM SL5500...
With v1.9.8 I was able to install all the apps and the kmicrokdelibs to my SD card, however, with v1.9.10 although all the apps will still install to the SD card, the kmicrokdelibs insist on being installed to main memory.

Is this intentional, or is it possible to allow the libs to be installed to the SD card again in a future version?

I know you said when you first allowed them to be installed to a SD card you recommended installing them all to the same place.
