KDE-Pim/Pi 1.9.10 Release

[swing]

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.

If you go to any time based view (Today, Next x Days, Working Week, Week) and drag the event either earlier or later in the day it automatically detaches it from the recurrence (ie creates an exception and a single event for you).  You can then set it to the correct time, or even change the date (by editing it).

You can do the same for deleting (select to delete it, and it will ask whether you want to delete the single event or all events), however, if you select Toggle Cancel that only works for all events - you don't get asked if you want to toggle just the one event.

However, if you have previously created the recurring event with the DTM tools, you may well find that on syncing with DTM the original recurring event comes back - I find that recurring events created with KO/Pi work fine, but DTM created ones fail to work the way you would hope - if you want to replace an recurring event with a new one created in KO/Pi, I find it's best to delete the whole recurring range in the DTM app, and then create a new event in KO/Pi with a different name (otherwise the syncing between KO/Pi and DTM or Intellisync will make the event return as a DTM recurring event).  Is this a bug?  I've no idea, but a little effort in removing them and creating new events in KO/Pi seems to make things work better.

However, as my Z is my master diary, I don't create exception in Outlook or the DTM apps, so I've no idea how well the exception information from Outlook performs when synced into KO/Pi.

One more possible bug....

When you import Birthdays from KA/Pi it creates an All Day event for the birthday with a 15min alarm - I don't want to be notified at 11.45pm the day before someone has a birthday (and neither does my wife) - is it possible to either turn this alarm off, or at least have an option to decide whether or not to have an alarm on these imported events?

<later>

Hmm, I've created a new birthday record in KA/Pi and when importing, it hasn't created an alarm, which is good - however, most of my birthday entries do have alarms, so I'm monitor this and report back if it happens again.  Maybe v1.9.7 was creating the alarms, and 1.9.10 isn't??!?

Thanks

Tx Swing, i hadn't noticed that before, but it's exactly what i was looking for.

Couple of things with 1.9.11

KA/PI: the initial drawing if the GUI is bugged, I can see the divider bar under the menu buttons, and the left-hand butttons had a double-edge on the top side. Have had this bug since I've started using kapi.

The divider bar behaviour is really erratic, what is it supposed to do? This counts for both kapi and kopi.

If you open kapi and rotate the screen, the close cross disappears, and the divider bar doesn't change. Ideally it would change on the fly (vertical in landscape mode, and horizontal in portrait), or be user-configurable.

Still in KAPI, if a contact should have more than 1 phone number of one type (say, Mobile, or Home), trying to switch the second number to the same type as an existing number results in a silent revert on the "OK" press. it displays just fine if you press apply, but gets reverted when you close the editing window, and it's reverted if you try to edit it again

Can we have the Ko/Pi calendar application display the current day everytime it's opened?  Whenever I turn on my zaurus, the calendar day displayed is the last one I accessed and not the current day.

Anything I need to set?

Can we have the Ko/Pi calendar application display the current day everytime it's opened?  Whenever I turn on my zaurus, the calendar day displayed is the last one I accessed and not the current day.

If you press the calendar button (if assigned to KO/Pi), it will move to the What's Next view - this will automatically update to today when opened / Z turned on.  Of course, when you go to the other views, you may still need to click on the "Go To Today" toolbar button, but it's at least a start.

I know there's an option to jump to the correct time within the views - this might also move to the right date, but as I have that option turned off, I can't confirm.

Yes, when jump to time is set, it also goes to the current date and time when started.

When calling the pref screen on cacko 1.21b, the OK/Cancel buttons are covered by the  start bar.

Which app, which version?
A screenshoot of the page that might be too big in order to fit with all buttons on the screen might be of help too.

I can't create screenshots, but certainly the Configure kaddressbook menu option appears to not allow for the taskbar, and hence you can only see half the buttons (this is on a Sharp 3.13 ROM SL-5500)

Also, KO/Pi 1.9.11 seems to be wrapping today's date in the What's Next View - instead of "Thu 04 Nov 2004" it's showing
"Thu 04"
"Nov 2004"
ie, over two lines.  I can't see any reason for this (I wonder if the code is working out the long date version wouldn't fit on 1 line, and therefore puts it on 2 lines, even though it's using the short date format)?

I'm seeing the same problem on a C860 with tkcROM (i.e. buttons on configure screen are obscured by task bar).  Here's a screenshot:

I'm also having a weird formatting problem on the What's Next screen that seems to be related to one specific todo item.  Let me know if you want me to send my calendar file to you.  Here's a screenshot:

Thanks for the notification of the new version - as you say, the What's Next view is fixed.

Hope someone can help, I have posted twice before, but no responce.

Cant sync KO/PI with Sharp DTM, KO/PI says there are no entries to sync from Sharp DTM & entries from KO/PI never appear in Sharp DTM.

Tried removing & re-installing KO/PI.

Only thing I can think of is a corrupt KO/PI config file that is not removed when removing KO/PI.

Any help would be apreciated, as I am getting desparate.

Hello Mike,

deinstallation of KDEPim does never remove config and data files.
You can find the configfiles in $HOME/kdepim/config and the data in $HOME/kdepim/apps/korganizer

So if you want to start kompletly from scratch, then remove the $HOME/kdepim directory (maybe make a backup before doing that) and then install Kde/Pim new.

Which version are you using? Zautrix fixed a couple of problems within the sharpDTM sync area. Please try the current version 1.9.12
