A:
Because it is not yet implemented.
But it is planned to be implemented.
*************************************************************************
Q:
Why does KO/Pi start up on restarts?
A:
Fastload causes KO/Pi to startup when Qtopia starts.
*************************************************************************
Q:
Do I have to deinstall the KO/Pi alarm applet, when I update KO/Pi?
A:
No, the KO/Pi alarm applet runs completely independend of KO/Pi.
That means, it does not need KO/Pi or libraries of KO/Pi for being
executed. But the applet itself is not very useful without KO/Pi.
It notifies KO/Pi to start via system calls.
It needs KO/Pi to get the next alarm from the system alarm daemon.
Such that the KO/Pi alarm alone may be used only as a timer application.
Files of KO/Pi are ( with /home/QtPalmtop as base dir):
bin/kopi bin/db2file apps/Pim/korganizer.desktop pics/korganizer/* lib/libmicro*
*************************************************************************
Q:
I have problems updating KO/Pi. Any hints?
A:
When deinstalling KO/Pi alarm applet, Qtopia reboots.
Please do not deinstall KO/Pi alarm applet and KO/Pi together.
It may be that because of the reboot KO/Pi itself is not deinstalled properly.

Q:
I installed the qtopiaKABC plugin,
but I can't access the addressbook when adding attendees.
A:
The qtopiaKABC plug-in is for old non DTM Qtopia Pims only.
This plug-in works with xml based addressbooks.
There is no solution currently for the DTM addressbook.
On a newer Sharp Rom (using DTM), you can install
Opie(for Sharp Rom) libs+adressbook and the opieKABC plug-in.
That works with KO/Pi.
*************************************************************************
Q:
Why do I have two pim tabs?
A:
The original tab has the 'PIM' tab and kopi is installed in the 'Pim' tab.
The difference in capitalization keeps them separate.
That is no packaging bug.
This is a feature.
The author of KO/pi has a Tab 'Pim'.

+Q:
+When installing kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2_arm.ipk (or newer version)
+I get a "This application depends on other programs".
+What programs I am missing?
+A:
+You probably do not have to care about that.
+kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2 will come with some
+resource plugins, which needs additional libraries.
+(E.g. libopie1, if you want to use the
+opie resource connector in KA/Pi).
+If you do not have this libraries installed,
+you simply cannot use the resource.
+To make it clear:
+If the libraries are missing, the applications
+using kmicrokdelibs will start,
+because the resources are plugins.

Q:
How do I change the timezone? All my appointments do show 6 hours ahead.
A:
The default timezone in KO/Pi is CET.
CET is (GMT +01:00) or (UTC +01:00), i.e GMT=UTC .
To adjust the time of your appointments,
you have to change the timezone and reload your calendar without closing
the application and without saving the data.
"Without saving the data" is very important.
Note that KO/Pi has build in auto saving.
If auto saving is performed after changing the timezone and before
reloading your calendar no times will be changed.
Example:
Selected timezone in KO/Pi is (+01:00 Oslo).
You have an appointment shown at 8:00. But it should be at 14:00.
Your timezone is -05:00 US/Eastern.
You have to do:
Select timezone +07:00 Asia/Bangok in config dialog.
Close dialog with ok button.
Choose menu: File-Load Calendar Backup.
Choose file: (your home path)/Applications/korganizer/mycalendar.ics
(on Windows: file: (your home path)/korganizer/mycalendar.ics).
Load file.
Now your appointment is at 14:00.
Select timezone -05:00 US/Eastern in config dialog.
Close KO/Pi (file is saved when closing and changes are not yet saved).
Restart KO/Pi.
Your timezone is -05:00 US/Eastern.
Your appointment is at 14:00.
Everything is ok.

Q:
I want to send appointments via Infrared (IR) to a mobile device.
What format I have to choose?
A:
You can send data as vcs (vCalendar) or as ics (iCalendar) files.
With and without timezone settings( Local time ).
Usually small mobile devices like mobile phones do not know anything about timezones.
Choosing vcs and Local time should work with most mobile phones.
Most mobile devices should be able to recieve vcs files.
If it is a smartphone or pda, the device may be able to handle timezones.
Try vcs and with timezones.
If you send the data to a laptop it depends on the application.
If you have a windows laptop and want to get data into an
installed KO/Pi on windows, you should choose ics and with timezone.
