KDE-Pim/Pi 1.9.10 Release

[jesizmi]

Hi all,
allmost perfect as ever, since versions 1.97+. Only the wellknown oddities in resizing of the config-screens, which aren't a real problem, i've got nothing left to complain with Ko/Pi and Ka/Pi.

I don't know if it's my personal setup, but Om/Pi ceases to start after the first time.
Afterwards there's only the exploding icon - and than nothing. So i returned to qtmail which isn't that bad after all and integration with Ka/Pi works pretty well.

With PwM/Pi i could not figure out, if there's a secret way of configuring categories like in most other PW-Apps (e.g. renaming the fields for different needs).

Is there any chance of importing Z-Safe text exports?

Tx to the xx/Pi team for these.

On nextView() KO/Pi is displaying always the What's next view.
That is not a bug, that is a feature

Seems strange to me   I believe this should be user-configurable.

Also, I wanted to report another set of problems with non-latin characters. When I create a TODO using cyrillic characters, it doesn't get synchronized with Sharp DTM database. Sometimes it just disappers in both KO/PI and DTM...

Ok, I will make it configurable.

Yes, I see the problem in the code ... actually I fixed it already for events, but forgot to fix it for todos...

By the way, version 1.9.10 has the bug, that a new entry from DTM is not added properly to Kx/Pi such that it is added on every sync to Kx/Pi.

I am currently now in "sync testing mode" to find out, if everythig works as desired.
Next version will have an easy Zaurus<-> KDE sync.

Thanks a lot for your efforts! It would be great if you could also fix similar problem with categories - they are not imported when synchinc with DTM (I believe they are stored separately) and they also have problems with non-latin characters.  With these problems fixed, I'll be ready to switch to using KO/PI PIMs instead of Sharp's...

I don't know if it's my personal setup, but Om/Pi ceases to start after the first time.
Afterwards there's only the exploding icon - and than nothing.

I have a strange problem too with OM/Pi, only different.

It worked quite well a couple of times, then it failed at the end of a mailrun.

Since then it still launches, still gets mail, but now every time I click (or up arrow) on the 'Local folders' in the left pane, the apps just disappears.

So I can still use it, but I have to be really careful with the pen :-)

Did you try the "Clear Sync Info" button in PC Link app on Zaurus?
In rare cases I had to reboot Windows to fix sync problems...

Thanks, but a simple reboot fixed it (given that it all worked until it hit the Contacts, and then another attempt to sync didn't even get that far, I felt it pointed to the PC, and not the Zaurus).

That is our evil masterplan. Nothing to complain about anymore anywhere...

In the current version, categories can only be edited from within the edit password dialog. There the category dropdownbox has the capability to enter new categories.
 

Is there any chance of importing Z-Safe text exports?

There is no one step approach, but I did the same with my data and it worked pretty well.
You have to export the data first from zSafe into text/csv format.
Then load the data into a spreadsheet app and order the columns in a way that PwM/Pi can read it. The required format is described in the FAQ's.
Then import the data into PwM/Pi with the included CSV import.
Worked for me.

Hey guys,

I've got a couple of OM/pi issues: one bug and one request:

bug: OM/pi re-downloads old mail on subsequent mail checks:  e.g. d/l a message; read it; delete it; re-check mail; same message d/l's again.  { guess I should post this on sf... }

request: can a toolbar button and/or key sequence be added to jump to next/prev email from the mail display window (instead of closing or deleteing and then double-tapping next message).  Also: a configurable option to determine what action is taken after deleteing a message from the message view (i.e. go to next message or go to inbox).

Awesome work guys!  Thanks again!

In the current version, categories can only be edited from within the edit password dialog. There the category dropdownbox has the capability to enter new categories.

I certainly noticed that. What i was looking for, is a chance to enter e.g. credit-cards with their respective issuer, number, validity and pin - into fields that can be recognized as such. As well as, say internet-providers, with quite a different set of informations, or even serials of legally obtained comercial software , which can be a bit puzzling if you have only "Description;Category;Username;Password;URL" - and the rest is to be put in Comments?

Well as much as i'm an addict to the other xx/Pi stuff, PwM/Pi has not reached their class yet.
But don't let that get you down - you really cheered up my (Pim-dependant) life.  

Thanks for the importing guide anyhow, i'll give it a try tonight on the train.

I agree with you that the category capabilities are somewhat restricted at the moment and I have already contacted the original author of PwManager for KDE about this issue.
The basic goal should be to keep the format of PwM/Pi and PwManager compatible so that syncing between KDE and Z will be possible in future versions.

From a technical point it should be easy to implement your request.
I will keep you informed about the progress.

One more issue: Beam Recieve option is always enabled when program starts. I think, it should remeber the state of this option before exit and restore it.

A few more: in Cards view clicking Enter doesn't bring up contact details.

Also, both KA/Pi and KO/PI stopped detecting Sharp's default e-mail client as being installed. The only owo options I have are "No Client Installed" and "User Defined Client"

[mikew]

Can anyone help, upgraded to KO/PI version 1.9.10 & sync with Sharp Calendar no longer works.

Sharp Calendar has lots of entries, none on KO/PI but sync says 0 entries to sync, tried re-installing the applications but still the same.

i've got nothing left to complain with Ko/Pi and Ka/Pi.

Well, may be that was a bit of an exaggeration.

So here is my complaint about Ko/Pi    :
 As far as i got, i can't find any way to cancle, or shift a single occurence of a recurring event. The only way seems to state an exception, which deletes the item, copy and then change it manually to a single event with the desired properties.
 
It hurts to admit, but in this matter even MSOL outbeats Ko/Pi (yet)

I know, you're living for the challenge

Hello j,

with 1.9.11 (which comes out the next couple of days) you can change the text for
Description, Username and Password for each category.
Hope that helps getting involved with PwM/Pi

And do not forget, that the most important thing about PwM/Pi is that you can sync your data. Show me one other pw application that can do that  
That was the reason I ported it in the first place.


Ah, and please add the reocurring event problem with KO/Pi into sourceforge.

Hi Ulf,
i admit that syncing PWs can be a comforting thing.

You're certainly right in the Z-world, but in my Palm i had splash! wich is a really great Pw-keeper with syncing ability, and palm-like just as ez.

Ah, and please add the reocurring event problem with KO/Pi into sourceforge.

been there, done that  

I really like Pim/Pi and i very much rely on it. So forgive my impertinence, when i'm pushing towards perfection. The potencial is there.
