Todos may have subtodos. A subtodo can be changed to a parent root todo. KO/Pi has a monthview, a What's Next view, an event list view, a small and big todo-view and an agenda view to display 1-42 days. KO/Pi is Qt-only based and runs on Sharp Zaurus PDA, Linux and Windows. 1) Import - export - connection - syncing: +KO/Pi on Windows can import calendar data from Outlook directly via OLE. + Recurring events with exceptions and attendee lists of meetings are imported properly. KO/Pi can import/export ics and vcs files. KO/Pi can save/load ics backup files. KO/Pi can send ics and vcs files via infrared, with and without timezone settings.( Zaurus only ) Via the search function you can send any number/selection of events/tasks/journal via infrared. Via the search function you can export and save any number/selection of events/tasks/journal to an ics file. Via the search function you can export and save any number/selection of journals and descriptions of events/todos to a plain text file. KO/Pi can import xml calendar/todo data from Opie/old Qtopia environment. KO/Pi can sync calendar/todo data with new Sharp Rom DTM model PIM applications, found on Zaurus 7x0/860 and Sharp Rom 3.1 (and above) for 5x00 series. (Hint: Rename /home/QtPalmtop/bin/datebook to e.g. /home/QtPalmtop/bin/datebookwech to prevent alarm notification by the Sharp calendar app) KO/Pi can sync calendar/todo/journal data with any local ics file. In KO/Pi you can create a specific profile for each device to sync with. KO/Pi can automatically down/upload a remote ics file to a temp file via user specified system command (e.g. ssh/scp, ftp, ...) to sync with. KO/Pi can ask you, if a conflict while syncing is detected and displays a detailed view of both events/todos. Multiple sync with many profiles at once is supported. If KO/Pi detects that the saved file on disk has changed,(e.g. a remote sync from somewhere has happened), it asks you, if you want to overwrite the file or if you want to sync with the file. Such that no data is lost. KO/Pi can save/load templates for events/todos. 2) Filter: You can define filters for displaying/not displaying specified categories. -Quick access to the first 20 filters via hotkeys 1-0 and <crtr>1-0 +Quick access to the first 20 filters via hotkeys 1-0 and <ctrl>1-0 3) Managing categories: After importing/loading/syncing there may be new categories in events or todos which are not in the category list. You can choose what to do with these categories: -Add to category list -Or remove them from events/todos In the list view/search dialog you can quickly assign categories to all selected items. You can choose -to add a selection of categories to the list of categories -to set a selection of categories as the new list of categories You can specify a color to every categorie. The events/tasks of this categorie are displayed with this color in the agenda view. You can configure, if the events/tasks categorie color is shown in todo view/month view as well. 4) Cancelling of items: You can cancel an event/todo without deleting them. The cancelled event/todo is then displayed stricked out. 5) Addressbook access: -There are plugins avaialable to access Opie/old Qtopia/Sharp DTM addressbook data when adding an attendee to an event. +You can access address entries stored in KA/Pi. +In KA/Pi you can configure a new resource to get read-only acces to Opie addressbook data. 6) Quick editing: You can quickly clone, move, cancel, beam events/todos. When dragging a recurrent event in agenda view, this recurrence is automatically added to the list of recurrence exceptions and a non-recurring clone is created. If you click on a day number in month view, a new edit event dialog pops up. 7) Fast navigation: There are many shortcuts for fast changing the view. Please refer to shortcut-key description. If you click on the week number in month view, this week is shown in agenda view. 8) Printing: On the desktop version, you can print out a vertical range of the agenda view "as you see it". And you can print on the desktop version a day view, three kinds of a week view and a month view. You can print the todo list as well. 9) Configuration: There are many advanced configuration possibilities. You can configure for every item in the toolbar, whether it should be shown or not. There are two item sizes for toolbar icons available. (Useful for 5x00 user and small display). 10) Language: KO/Pi is available in English and German. 11) Alarm: For Zaurus there is an alarm applet available with additional timer functionality. This alarm applet will make the Zaurus wake up, if the device is in suspend mode. -You can enable in KO/Pi the internal alarm notification, such that you are informed about an alarm, if the program is running. +On the desktop (e.g. Windows) you can enable in KO/Pi the internal alarm notification, +such that you are informed about an alarm, if the program is running. 12) What'sThis Help: To use the What'sThis Help, you have to enable the What'sThis icon in the toolbar. (Choose menu: ME-Toolbar or Action-Configure Toolbar ). (You have to restart to reload the changed toolbar config). Now click on the QWhat'sThis Icon in the top right corner of KO/Pi. Then click now after that on an item in the Agenda View or in the month view you will get a detailed display of the items content. diff --git a/bin/kdepim/korganizer/kopiFAQ.txt b/bin/kdepim/korganizer/kopiFAQ.txt index b87ef96..96b38b8 100644 --- a/bin/kdepim/korganizer/kopiFAQ.txt +++ b/bin/kdepim/korganizer/kopiFAQ.txt @@ -1,294 +1,288 @@ ************************************************************************* Q: For which platform KO/Pi is available? A: KO/Pi is the platform-independend version of KOrganizer and it includes a replacement for the KDE libraries called microkde. It can be compiled to any platform, where Qt is available. The source code compiles without modifications on Windows, Linux Desktop and Sharp Zaurus PDA. Precompiled versions are available on www.pi-sync.net for Windows and Sharp Zaurus PDA. Latest versions and the source code cvs can be found at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/ ************************************************************************* Q: What files/data can KO/Pi import or export? A: KO/Pi saves its data in iCalandar format (*.ics) You can import .ics (used by KDE KOrganizer/Mozillas/Appli iCal) or .vcs files. You can import xml based PIMs (Opie, old Sharp and old TKC). You can sync with the newer Sharp DTM PIMs directly. (Note: If you have many contacts in KO/Pi which are not in DTM, the very first sync may take some time) You can sync with any local .ics file or remote with a .ics file via ssh. +KO/Pi on Windows can import calendar data from Outlook directly via OLE. +Recurring events with exceptions and attendee lists of meetings are imported properly. ************************************************************************* Q: How can I sync via ssh? A: You must have installed a ssh client on the machine KO/Pi is running. You must have a ssh server running on the remote machine. You must have configured your access to the server such that you can log in from console on the server without a password. For that reason you have to put some keys on the servers home dir. Please read docu of ssh how to do that. -There is a realy detailed ssh howto available at +There is a detailed ssh howto available at http://oek.fbl.fh-wiesbaden.de/zaurus/ ************************************************************************* Q: How can I get my data from Outlook? A: Well you can sync Outlook with Sharp-DTM Pims and then sync KO/Pi with Sharp-DTM. Voila - you have your Outlook data in KO/Pi. -It is planned that KO/Pi windows version syncs directly with Outlook. +On Windows, KO/Pi can import calendar data from Outlook directly via OLE. +Recurring events with exceptions and attendee lists of meetings are imported properly. ************************************************************************* Q: I sync with Outlook via the Sharp DTM. But, now, whenever I get an alarm I get notified by both KO/Pi and the Sharp Calendar app. How could I disable Sharp Calendar app? A: You have to rename datebook (the Sharp Calendar app) such that it cannot be automatically started by the system alarm daemon. If you rename it and you do not delete it, you can do revert your changes easily. For example, rename /home/QtPalmtop/bin/datebook to /home/QtPalmtop/bin/datebookwech Then you can sync KO/Pi with the database and then the database with outlook without problems. An event( with alarm ) created on outlook make KO/Pi alarm goes off, but there will be no datebook alarm :-) ************************************************************************* Q: -I cannot sync Outlook with Sharp-DTM. How can I get my data from Outlook? -A: -There is a tool called Outport. -With that tool you can export your Outlook data to many small .ics files. -To get one big .ics file to able to import the data quickly in KO/Pi -you can do the following on Linux: -cat *.ics > mycalendar -mv mycalendar mycalendar.ics -Now you have one file, but kopi cannot read it. -You have to remove all lines in the file -(take a texteditor where search and replace is done quickly ) which are: -BEGIN:VCALENDAR -END:VCALENDAR -Only the very first -BEGIN:VCALENDAR and the very last -END:VCALENDAR may remain in the file. -Now KO/Pi can read the modified file. -************************************************************************* -Q: Why does not KO/Pi import several .isc files at once? A: Because it is not yet implemented. ************************************************************************* Q: Why does not KO/Pi sync directly with Outlook? A: -Because it is not yet implemented. -But it is planned to be implemented. +On Windows, KO/Pi can import calendar data from Outlook directly via OLE. +Recurring events with exceptions and attendee lists of meetings are imported properly. +It would be difficult to implememt an actual syncing. +This will be implemented later. ************************************************************************* Q: -Why does KO/Pi start up on restarts? +Why does KO/Pi start up on restarts on the Zaurus? 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. +NOTE: Versions > 1.9.0 does not support alarm plugins any more. +The addressbook data is accessed via KA/Pi only. ************************************************************************* 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. +If you get an error, simply install the other packages and try again. ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* 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. Simply try it out, what data the device does understand. ************************************************************************* Q: I want to send a friend all the public holidays in my calendar. Can I do that? A: Yes. Choose search dialog. Serach there after the events you want to send. Make sure, you get all wanted events and maybe some more. Maybe sort the items and select all items you want to send. With a 'right' mouse click (hold pen down for a while and then relase) you get a popup menu. Choose there 'Save selected to file'. Now all selected entries are saved. Send the file to your friend, he can import them in his calendar now. ************************************************************************* Q: I want to get another alarm sound than the default. What I have to change? A: The default alarm sound is a wav file: It is (QPEDIR)/pics/korganizer/koalarm.wav. (Usually QPEDIR=/home/QtPalmtop). +(On the desktop, the path is: +(installdir)/kdepim/korganizer/koalarm.wav) Just replace this file by another one und do a 'simulate alarm' to ckeck, if it works. +('Simulate alarm' not available on the desktop, +because it is in the alarm applet) Wav files can have different sampling data. (e.g. 16/8bit, stereo/mono, 22kHz/11kHz/...) Note: It seems to be that there are problems with particular combination of these settings. If one file is not replayed properly, just try another file/ another sampling data. ************************************************************************* Q: Is there a solution to get an alarm on Windows? A: Yes, but KO/Pi has to be running to notify you about an alarm. Choose menu: Action - Configure. There the last TAB alarm. Check "Use internal alarm notification" to get the alarm on Windows and Linux desktop. You can configure the behaviour of the alarm there. ************************************************************************* Q: I have Zaurus 5600 and I want to get wav alarm instead of the buzzer. Is that possible? A: Yes. The default alarm kind is determined from the screen resolution. For all 320x240 displays the buzzer alarm is the default. To change this, set in the alarm applet popup menu Play beeps- Replay-*.wav-file Note: If a 5500 user will choose this, he will get no alarm sound from the speaker. He will get only the wav sound from the headphone connector. ************************************************************************* Q: In the alarm applet settings "auto suspend" seems not to work. Am I doing something wrong? A: Probably! The lenght of an alarm is determined from settings in Play beeps and the interval of each beep. E.g. Play beeps = 10 and interval = 10 means, the alarm has a duration of 100 secs. The "auto suspend" can only work, if the system is not suspended itself when playing back the alarm. E.g. if you have set your system suspend time to 1 min (= 60 sec) the system is suspended during playback of alarm and there is no new "suspend alarm notification" stored in the system. Solution: Make sure your alarm duration is less then your system suspend time. ************************************************************************* Q: I can not install KO/Pi on the SD card (ext2 formated), it can be installed only in the internal memory. What can I do ? A: -I don't know. KO/Pi and friends are now installable on SD-Card! It is recommended to install all libs and apps on the SD card or all in the internal storage. There may be problems, if this is mixed. +If you get an error when installing, +simply install the other packages and try again.

Should work with OL version >= 2000. + ********** VERSION 1.9.2 ************ 1) KDE-Pim/Pi has got a new member: KmicroMail (KM/Pi) is a mail program, which can handle IMAP and POP mail access. It is based on Opie-Mail v3. All dependencies to the Opie libraries ar removed, such that no additional Opie lib is needed. It is already integrated in KO/Pi and KA/Pi. It it now available for the Zaurus,probably it will be available for other platforms later. Hint: Create your own contact (name + email) in KA/Pi, select this contact and choose menu: Settings - Set Who Am I. Now the settings of this contact are used as the sender data in KM/Pi. 2) KDE-Pim/Pi is split up in five different packages now precompiled for Sharp Zaurus: --kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2_arm.ipk The libs are needed for any of the following programs: --kaddressbook_1.9.2_arm.ipk --kmicromail_1.9.2_arm.ipk --korganizer_1.9.2_arm.ipk Independ from that, there is the alarm applet available for KO/Pi, which also offers quick access for a new mail or showing the addressbook.: --korganizer-alarm_1.9.2_arm.ipk Independend means, that the alarm applet does not need any of the libs or programs above to run. But it would be quite useless without these programs. NOTE: If you get a "This application depends on other programs" during installation of --kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2_arm.ipk 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. 3) KO/Pi and friends are now installable on SD-Card! It is recommended to install all libs and apps on the SD card or all in the internal storage. There may be problems, if this is mixed. 4) Fixed two bugs in the alarm notification on Windows. 5) Great improvement! KO/Pi uses now the latest version of libical. Libical is the library which actually reads the calendar files and extract the data from it. With the old version, there were problems (crashes or program hangs) when licical did read files, which were not stored from KO/Pi. I do not know, if the new libical works perfect, but actually it works much better than the old version. There are no problems with compatibility with old calendar files of KO/Pi, of course! 6) New in KA/Pi: Opie addressbook resource connector available! You will need libopie1 and the opie addressbook, of course. With the Opie addressbook resource connector, you can access the Opie addressbook readonly in KA/Pi. If you want to edit or import the data into KA/Pi, do this: a) Create an Opie resource. (Menu: Settings-Configure Resources). After configuration and restarting KA/Pi you should see the Opie contacts in KA/Pi. b) Select some or all Opie contacts. (NOTE: +++++ To know exactly, what contacts are Opie contacts, do this: Choose menu: View-Modify View - TAB Fields. Select in the above list "Resource" and click down arrow to add it to the "Selected fields". Click OK. Now you have a new column "Resource" in your list, where you can see, what an Opie resource is. ++++ NOTE end.) Ok, we do have now some Opie contacts seleted. (Use SHIFT or CTRL key in order to multiple select). |
