WRONG) SYNCHRONIZATION RESULTS, +YOU MAY GET UNEXPECTED (I.E. WRONG) SYNCHRONIZATION RESULTS, IF YOU CHANGE AN EVENT ON THE FIRST DEVICE AND SYNC IMMEDIATELY FROM THE OTHER DEVICE WITH THIS DEVICE, IF THE CLOCKS OF THE TWO DEVICES HAVE TOO MUCH DIFFERENCE. In other words: Please make sure, that the clocks of the devices you want to sync have only a difference of some seconds! CONTENT: 0) How syncing works 1) Qick overview of settings 2) Sync settings in sync dialog 3) Syncing background 4) Sync preferences 5) Details about sync profile kinds ************************************************************************* 0) How syncing works ************************************************************************* Note: The recommended and easiest way to syncronize two devices where KO/Pi, KA/Pi or PWM/Pi is installed, is the profile kind "Pi-Sync". Details about that in 5) b). In KDE-Pim/Pi you can synchronize ( sync ) your calendar/addressbook/ passwordfile with another calendar/addressbook/passwordfile, by syncing your (local) calendar/addressbook/passwordfile with a (remote) file. This remote file may on your local filesystem or on another (remote) device. If you want to sync with another remote device, you have to create a sync profile. You have two choices for choosing the profil kind: I) You can choose profile kind "Remote file" and specify a command line download/upload command ( like scp, ftp, ...) to a) download the remote file to your local machine to a temp file b) sync with this temp file c) upload the synced file to the remote device II) If you want to sync with a device, where KO/Pi( or KA/Pi, PWM/Pi) is installed, you can easily get the remote file via network with the build in file transfer feature: Choose profile kind "Pi-Sync" and a) Start KO/Pi,KA/Pi or PWM/Pi on remote device and enable "Pi-Sync" on remote device with password and port. b) Specify password, port and IP address in your profile. You can sync with your mobile phone as well. Everything is explained in more details below. NOTE: If you do not use profile kind "Pi-Sync", it is recommended to close a running KO/Pi (KA/Pi, PWM/Pi) on the remote device. (Note: KO/Pi(KA/Pi, PWM/Pi) running on Zaurus with FastLoad enabled will never be closed!) After syncing with a running KO/Pi on the remote device, a "save" on the remote device will tell you that it needs to merge (sync). After merging (just a syncing with the changed file) you will get the new data showing in remote KO/Pi. ************************************************************************* 1) Qick overview of settings ************************************************************************* a) Open sync settings dialog (Menu Synchronize - Configure...) b) Give your device a unique name. (unique in the set of all devices you want to sync with). If you have already configured another devive and created there a sync profile to sync with this device, give your device the same name as this sync profile! The same name is important, because it makes it possible to sync first A->B (A local device, that performs the sync, B remote device) and then B->A. Such that the B->A sync knows about the already performed A->B sync. That means: It is unimportant if you sync A->B or B->A, the devices A and B will be synced properly. c) Create a new sync profile and give it a unique name. (unique in the set of all sync profiles on this device). If you want to sync with a device, where KO/Pi is already installed and which has a given unique device name, use this device name as your profile name ( refer to b) ). d) Coose the profile kind of your syncing method: (i) Local file or (ii) Pi-Sync or (iii) Remote file or (iiii) Mobile Phone. Detailed explanation in 5) e) Choose the other profile options. Detailed explanation in 2) f) Close sync dialog with OK. g) Sync. NOTE: AFTER SYNCING THERE ARE "SYNC EVENTS" CREATED (OR UPDATED, IF IT ALREADY EXITS) FOR EACH SYNC PROFILE. YOU MAY NOT DELETE OR CHANGE THESE EVENTS. ************************************************************************* 2) Sync settings in sync dialog ************************************************************************* a) Local device name: -> 1) b) b) Profile: -> 1) c) c) Include in multiple sync: In the Synchronize menu, there is a multiple sync menu entry. If you choose this menu entry, all user defined profiles with this 'Include in multiple sync' option enabled will be synced one after another. And this twice. This will take some time. After that sync, on all devices should be the same data. d) Ask for preferences before sync: Check this to be asked for sync preferences settings before each sync. If the profile kind is "Pi-Sync" you will be asked to confirm the "Pi-Sync" specific settings (Password,IP address, port number) as well. That makes it possible to use that profile for a device that is connected via DHCP to the network and gets different IP addresses when connection to the network. e) Sync preferences: Choose here your sync preferences. Details -> 4) f) Show summary after sync: Check this to get a small summary dialog after sync about number of added/changed/deleted events on local/remote. g) Write back synced data: Uncheck this to update the local calendar only. I.e. your local calendar is synced with the remote calendar but nothing on the remote calendar is changed. If you uncheck "Write back synced data", the settings under h) and i) are ignored, of course. h) --Write back (on remote) existing entries only: Check this to update the remote data only. I.e. no data from yor local calendar/addressbook is added to the remote device. You may use this option to sync against some kind of "public calendar/addressbook" without writing back your personal data. i) --Write back (calendar) entries in future only: Check this to write back only calendar entries in future. (Useful when syncing with mobile phones.) You can specify the date range in weeks with ---- Max. weeks in future. Note: The date range starts always 7 days before the actual date! I.e. the calendar events of the last week are written back always. j) Profile kind: Details -> 5) ************************************************************************* 3) Syncing background ************************************************************************* The same mentioned for calendars is valid for addressbooks as well. Synchronizing calendars ( i.e. files ) means, to merge two calendars in a useful way. If the two calendars are completely different, there is no problem, the resulting calendar contains all data from the local and from the remote calendar. Problems will occur, if you have edited items from the local calendar on the remote machine. Then it could be, that items are in conflict. Two items are "in conflict", if they have the same unique ID (which get an item at time of creation and owns it until it is deleted ) and they both are modified after the last synchronization. At first sync of two calendars there is no item deleted. If the calendars are synced before and there is an item, which is not edited after the last sync and is only available in one calendar, then this item is deleted in this calendar. But when was the last synchronization between two calendars? To know that, KO/Pi creates at first syncing of two files an unique event "<profile name> - sync Event" on the remote and the local calendar. After syncing, the start time of this event is set to the time of syncing. The event is read only and the user may not change it. If two such files are synced, that both have an event "<profile name> - sync Event" and the events have the same start time, then deleted items on the one calendar are deleted on the other as well. ************************************************************************* 4) Sync preferences ************************************************************************* Two items are "in conflict", if they have the same unique ID and they both are modified after the last synchronization. (Details -> 3) ). If an item is not modified after the last sync and it is not found in the other calendar, it is deleted. On the first sync, there is no item deleted. SYNC PREFERENCES: -Take local entry on conflict: Takes the local entry on conflict. If it is the first sync, "Ask for every entry" is chosen automatically, if this is selected. -Take remote entry on conflict: Takes the remote entry on conflict. If it is the first sync, "Ask for every entry" is chosen automatically, if this is selected. -Take newest entry on conflict: This takes the newest entry on conflict. May be the most useful syncing mode. -Ask for every entry on conflict: Pops up an event viewer dialog and shows the two conflicting entries there. The user can chose, which entry he would like to take. The button for the newest entry is automatically set as default button. The color for the newest entry is green. -Force: Take local entry always: Even if the calendars are already synced there is no item deleted on local. -Force: Take remote entry always: Analogous to "Force: Take local entry always" ************************************************************************* 5) Details about sync profile kinds ************************************************************************* a) Local file Please specify a local file you want to sync with. Note: If you are syncing a file, which is used by KA/Pi, please check the "Addressbook file (*.vcf) is used by KA/Pi". If you are syncing with a file from KAddressbook or another program, please uncheck "Addressbook file (*.vcf) is used by KA/Pi". To set this properly is important! KA/Pi uses a "last modified" property, which is not supported by KAddressbook. b) Pi-Sync (direct Kx/Pi to Kx/Pi sync) We mention here only KO/Pi, but the same is valid for KA/Pi. If you want to sync with a device, where KO/Pi is installed, you can easily get the remote file via network with the build in file transfer feature "Pi-Sync": You have first to enable file transfer on the remote device: - Start KO/Pi on the remote device. - Choose Menu Synchronize-Enable Pi-Sync. - Choose a port number, where KO/Pi should listen for file sending requests. Valid port numbers are numbers between 1 and 65565. Do not specify port numbers, that are used by other applications. A port number between 9000 and 9999 is most likely not used by another application. The default port number is 9197 for KO/Pi. If you specify a port number, which is already in use, you will get an error message when closing this dialog. - Choose a password. - Click OK. Now KO/Pi will send the calendar data via the network, if some other device is sending a "please send calendar" request on the given port using the given password. If you want to be sure, nobody can access your calendar data, simply disable the file transfer feature on the remote device after the syncing is done by choosing: Menu Synchronize-Disable Pi-Sync. Note: If you want to sync with a remote device that gets different IPaddresses each time connected to the network (this may be the case, if you use DHCP for connection of the remote device to the network) simply enable "Ask for preferences before sync". Then you will be asked to confirm the "Pi-Sync" specific settings (Password,IP address, port number) and you can easily change the IP address before each sync. On your local device, create a new profile and choose profile kind "Pi-Sync". Fill in the needed values: - Password for remote access: The password you specified on the remote device. - Remote IP address: The IP address of the remote device. - Remote port number: The port number you specified on the remote device. Now you can syncronize your local device easily with your remote device. This works well for all platforms KO/Pi is running on, e.g. syncing a KO/Pi on Zaurus with KO/Pi on Windows is now very easy. c) Remote file Note: If you are syncing a file, which is used by KA/Pi, please check the "Addressbook file (*.vcf) is used by KA/Pi". If you are syncing with a file from KAddressbook or another program, please uncheck "Addressbook file (*.vcf) is used by KA/Pi". To set this properly is important! KA/Pi uses a "last modified" property, which is not supported by KAddressbook. Syncing with the profile kind "Remote file" is performed in three steps: i) download the remote file to your local machine to a temp file ii) sync with this temp file iii) upload the synced file to the remote device The down-/uploading if i) and iii) is done via a command line command. Please specify the download/upload command ( like scp, ftp, ...) and the file name of the temp file in the corresponding fields. d) Mobile device (cell phone) Note: On the Zaurus you have to install the phoneaccess_xxx_arm.ipk package to be able to access mobile phones. We mention here only KO/Pi, but the same is valid for KA/Pi. Note: It is only possible to sync a mobile phone with one particular device running KO/Pi. If you want to be able to write data of more than one device to the mobile phone (e.g. from your Zaurus and from your Windows Laptop) do not sync with the mobile phone at all, but use the "Export to phone" functionality from the different devices. Using "Export to phone" makes it not possible to get back data from the phone, if it was changed there, of course. If you sync with the phone, do not use "Export to phone" from any device. (And do not sync, as mentioned above, from any other device with that phone). It would delete the needed information for syncing with that phone! We are using Gammu (Version: 0.98.9) ( http://freshmeat.net/projects/gammu/ ) for accessing the phones. Note: You cannot use the original Gammu for syncing KDE-Pim/Pi, because we have modified the original version to make it useable for syncing! Gammu allows access to many phones in many ways (Irda, Bluetooth, serial,...). The recommended phone access using Gammu with KDE-Pim/Pi is Irda (infrared). Bluetooth access is disabled on the Zaurus, but may work on Windows. Please look at the Gammu homepage and documentation about more details configuring Gammu how to access your phone. If you have problems accessing your phone, start KO/Pi from the konsole and you will get a more detailed output what went wrong. About Gammu from the Gammu homepage: Gammu (formerly known as MyGnokii2) is a cellular manager for various mobile phones/modems. It supports the Nokia 2100, 3100, 32xx, 33xx, 3410, 35xx, 51xx, 5210, 5510, 61xx, 62xx, 63xx, 6510, 6610, 6800, 71xx, 7210, 7250, 7250i, 82xx, 83xx, 8910, 9110, 9210 and compatible and AT devices (Siemens, Alcatel, Falcom, WaveCom, IPAQ, Samsung, SE, and others) over cables/infrared/BlueTooth. Here is an example what to specify to access a Nokia 6310i via infrared: On Linux (Zaurus): I/O device: /dev/ircomm Connection: irda Model: <leave empty> On Windows: I/O device: <ignored - i.e. leave empty> Connection: irda Model: <leave empty> Here is the overview from the Gammu documentation, how to specify the connection settings for I/O device: Connection: Model: Note: The documentation uses the term "port", where we use the term "I/O device". Note: You do not have to create/change the gammurc configuration file. That will do KO/Pi for you. Note: For a known model, leave "Model:" always empty, such that Gammu can auto detect the model. # This is a sample ~/.gammurc file. # In Unix/Linux copy it into your home directory and name it .gammurc # or into /etc and name it gammurc # In Win32 copy it into directory with Gammu.exe and name gammurc # More about parameters later # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [gammu] port = com8: #model = 6110 connection = fbusblue #synchronizetime = yes #logfile = gammulog #logformat = textall #use_locking = yes #gammuloc = locfile #startinfo = yes #gammucoding = utf8 [gammu1] port = com8: #model = 6110 connection = fbusblue #synchronizetime = yes #logfile = gammulog #logformat = textall #use_locking = yes #gammuloc = locfile #startinfo = yes #gammucoding = utf8 # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Now info about "Connection" parameter and connected with it port type # (more about port types later) # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # "Connection" parameter | Port type | More details # -----------------------|-----------|----------------------------------------- # "fbus" | serial | Nokia FBUS2 # "fbusirda"/"infrared" | serial | Nokia FBUS2 over direct infrared device # "fbusdlr3"/"dlr3" | serial | Nokia FBUS2 with DLR3 cable # "fbusdku5" | dku5 | Nokia FBUS2 with DKU5 cable.

Old behaviour was, that the "new event" dialog popped up. Added a one step "undo delete" in KO/Pi (Accessable in the "Action" menu). That means, you can restore the latest event/todo/journal you have deleted. A journal is deleted, if you clear all the text of the journal. Fixed the bug of the editor dialogs in KO/Pi of version 1.9.14. KA/Pi starting in 480x640 resolution: Hide the filter action in toolbar and added icons for undo/delete/redo in toolbar. Change in OM/Pi ViewMail dialog: -When clicking on the "delete" icon the mail is deleted after confirmation as usual. But the edit dialog is not closed as before, now the next mail in the folder is shown automatically (if there is any). +When clicking on the "delete" icon the mail is deleted after confirmation as usual. +But the edit dialog is not closed as before, now the next mail in the folder is shown automatically (if there is any). Fixed a crash when deleting mail-accounts in OM/Pi. ********** VERSION 1.9.14 ************ Fixed some problems with the dialog sizes when switching portrait/landscape mode on 640x480 PDA display. Fixed some other small bugs in KA/Pi KO/Pi and OM/Pi and PwM/Pi. Fixed an ugly bug in KOpieMail: KOpieMail was not able to write files (mails) to MSDOS file system, like on an usual preformatted SD card. That should work now. To save your mail data on the Sd card do the following: Create a dir on the SD card: mkdir /mnt/card/localmail Go to your home dir: cd Go to kopiemail data storage dir: cd kdepim/apps/kopiemail Create a symlink to the SD card: ls -s /mnt/card/localmail Now KOpieMail will store all mails on the SD card. KO/Pi Monthview: Now "Go to Today" selects the current month from day 1-end, not the current date + some days. I.e. "Go to Today" shows now always the current month with first day of month in the first row. Added missing German translation. Fixed icons of executeable on Wintendo. Added a "Show next Mail" button to the OM/Pi mail viewer such that the mail below the current mail in the mail list view of the current folder can be read with a single click. ********** VERSION 1.9.13 ************ Fixed nasty PwM/Pi file reading bug, when the used hash algo of file is different then the global hash algo. Added KA/Pi support for opie mailit mailapplication. Fixed some bugs in OM/Pi. Now character conversion tables are available for the Zaurus to make OM/Pi working properly. To get the character conversion in OM/Pi working, please download at the sourceforge project site the package sr-character-conversion_SharpROM_arm.ipk.zip (or oz-character-conversion_OZ-gcc3xx_arm.ipk.zip for OZ roms) from the section "general files for KDE/Pim" Instructions how to install this package are in a ReadMe in this file. Fixed the orientation change problem in KA/Pi when switching portrait/landscape mode. French translation available for KA/Pi and OM/Pi. Fixed some problems with categories in KO/Pi in DTM sync. Added selection dialog for export to phone in KA/Pi. If in KO/Pi is an attendee selected to add to a meeting and this attendee is already in the list of attendees, this person is not added again. Some menu cleanup in KA/Pi. ********** VERSION 1.9.12 ************ Fix for the bug in KO/Pi What's Next view of version 1.9.11. Bugfix: Licence file is now shown again. OM/Pi now supports Unicode (utf8 charset). Fixed some bugs in OM/Pi. KA/Pi has more German translation. ********** VERSION 1.9.11 ************ Fixed several problems in PWM/Pi, like asking the user, if unsaved changed are pending when closing the app. And PwM/Pi handles now different texts for the fields Description, Username, Password, configurable per category. Fixed a crash in KO/Pi , when importing/loading vcs files which have an entry with an attendee with state: NEEDS ACTION Fixed some problems in the German translation of OM/Pi, which makes some dialogs not fitting on the screen of the Z 5500. Fixed Qtopia crash, when disabling/deinstalling KO/Pi alarm applet. Implemented direct KDE<->KA/Pi sync for KA/Pi running on Linux desktop. Added feature "remove sync info" to sync menu. Tweaked the KO/Pi What's next view a bit, added setting to hide events that are done. Disabled "beam receive enabled" on startup to avoid problems if Fastload is enabled. Please set "beam receive enabled", if you want to receive data via IR. Fixed bug in direct KDE<->KO/Pi sync for KO/Pi running on Linux desktop. Made in KA/Pi scrolling possible, if details view is selected. (The keyboard focus is set automatically to the search line) Fixed a bug in DMT sync, that a new entry in DTM was added on every sync to Kx/Pi. Fixed missing writing of KA/Pi categories to DMT entries when syncing. Fixed a bug in DMT sync with todos created in KO/Pi containing non-latin1 characters. Rearranged package contents of Sharp-ipks and made all packages installable on SD again. Fixed the writing of addressbook data in DTM sync. Empty fields in KA/Pi were not removed. Added better category handling in KA/Pi: Added item Edit Categories and Manage new categories to the settings menu. Possible to configure a view to display categories. Added detailed "KDE Sync Howto" and "Multi Sync Howto" to Help menu. Fixed displaying of "free" days and time in KO Monthview and Agendaview. ... and many other bugfixes. ********** VERSION 1.9.10 ************ Many internal small bugfixes. And fix of the "big" bug in KO/Pi, that after Syncing the appointments had an offset by several hours. That was a problem with the internal timezone setting, introduced by the changed timezone configuration settings. German translation for OM/Pi is now available. ********** VERSION 1.9.9 ************ KDE-Pim/Pi has a new Member! It is called PWM/Pi (Passwordmanager/platform-independent) and it is available for the Zaurus. It is planned, that it will be available later for Windows. (And for Linux, of course). It is a port of the Passwordmanager of KDE. It will need the MicroKDElibs to run. Made loading of addressbooks in KA/Pi up to 7 times faster! The bigger your addressbook file, the more starting speed will you gain. (relatively) The Qtopia addressbook connector is now platform independend as well and should work on any platform for importing/exporting Qtopia and Opie XML files. Added a +30min feature to the timezone settings to make KDE-Pim/Pi useable in Australia and other parts on the world with strange timezones ;-) German "Umlaute" should now be sorted correctly on the Z in KA/Pi. It is now possible to disable the "receive data via infrared" feature, such that syncing with Outlook is now possible again with Kx/Pi runing. Please disable it, before syncing Sharp DTM with Outlook. For your convenience, the "receive data via infrared" feature is disabled automatically, if you sync Kx/Pi with DTM. You have to enable it again manually after syncing. Enabling this feature makes it impossible to start the Sharp DTM apps. If this feature is enabled, you will only get the alarm notification from KO/Pi and not from the Sharp calendar. This is very useful if you sync KO/Pi with Sharp DTM, because after syncing you usually would get notified about an alarm by KO/Pi and the Sharp Calendar. Together with the Linux desktop version of KO/Pi it is now possible to sync KO/Pi on the Zaurus with the complete KDE-desktop (3.3 or later) calendar data easily. That makes it possible to sync the Z with one click of a mouse with the KDE-Desktop. This feature it available for all Zaurus platforms KO/Pi is running on. The only thing needed is a running KO/Pi on Linux and a compiled version of the small KDE-Pim/Pi<->KDE-Desktop access command line program, which is in the KDE-Pim/Pi sources available. The "KDE-desktop" syncing feature for KA/Pi will follow in the next releases. Fixed the vcard export bug, which had the version 1.9.8. Added missing GERMAN translation to KO/Pi. Hi PsionX, could you add the missing french translation?Thx! Translation files for KA/Pi are available as well. GERMAN translation will be available in the next release. PsionX ( yres, you again ;-) ), could you start translating KA/Pi? Thx! You can download the version 1.9.9 at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=112604 Note: To run the mail program OM/Pi you need libopenssl. A link to a download loaction is available at ZSI at www.killefiz.de ********** VERSION 1.9.8 ************ Fixed character decoding in OM/Pi. (e.g. German "Umlaute" were not displayed properly.) Made is possible to reparent todos in KO/Pi. Use contextmenu or keys (look at Help-Keys + Colors) for that. Added the missing Sync-Howto and WhatsNew to the packages. KO/Pi on Linux desktop can now sync with KDE desktop. That means: When using KO/Pi on Linux desktop for syncing with KDE desktop and the Zaurus, the Zaurus can be synced now with all KDE-Calendar resources, not only with one local file. (That makes it possible to sync the Zaurus with the calendar data on a Kolab server) KA/Pi syncing with KDE desktop will be available in the next version. ********** VERSION 1.9.7 ************ KO/Pi - KA/Pi on Windows: Now a directory can be defined by the user, where the application/config data should be saved. Define your desired path in the evironment variable MICROKDEHOME before starting KO/Pi or KA/Pi. An easy Kx/Pi to Kx/Pi syncing is now possible (it is called Pi-Sync) via network. Please look at the Sync Howto. Exporting of calendar data and contacts to mobile phones is now possible. The SyncHowto is updated with information howto access/sync mobile phones. Please look at the Sync Howto. Now KO/Pi and KA/Pi on the Zaurus can receive data via infrared directly. Please disable Fastload for the original contact/calendar applications and close them. KO/Pi and KA/Pi must be running in order to receive the data. (KO/Pi and KA/Pi are always running if Fastload for them is enabled!) In the KA/Pi details view are now the preferred tel. numbers displayed on top of the other data ( emails/tel.numbers/addresses) Fixed some syncing problems in KA/Pi. Added font settings for the KA/Pi details view. Added fields "children's name" and "gender" to KA/Pi. Made searching in KA/Pi better: Now the first item in a view is selected after a search automatically and the views can be scrolled up/down when the search input field has the keyboard focus. And, of course, fixed a bunch of reported bugs in KO/Pi and KA/Pi. ********** VERSION 1.9.6 ************ Changes in the external application communication on the Zaurus in order to use less RAM when the apps are running. First syncing of addressbooks (KA/Pi) is possible. ********** VERSION 1.9.5a ************ Fixed a bug in KO/Pi in the SharpDTM sync of version 1.9.5. Fixed some small bugs. KA/Pi shows now the birthday in summary view. Now OM/Pi and KA/Pi are using the date format defined in KO/Pi for displaying dates. ********** VERSION 1.9.5 ************ There is still no Addressbook syncing! New in 1.9.5: Many bugfixes. Better searching in KA/Pi. You can configure in KA/Pi if you want to search only after <return> key pressed. Better mail downloading in OM/Pi. First experimental alpha version of sync of KO/Pi with mobile phones. See gammu documentation for supported phones. You need to install the package kammu_1.9.5_arm.ipk for sync of KO/Pi with mobile phones. kammu_1.9.5_arm.ipk needs libbluetooth and libsdp. Quick hint how to use: NOTE: MOBILE PHONE SYNC IS EXPERIMENTAL! Install kammu_1.9.5_arm.ipk , libbluetooth and libsdp. Create syncprofile - mobile device Remove entry for model. (Leave empty ). Enable infrared on Zaurus and your Phone. Sync. To get a more detailed log, start kopi from konsole. ********** VERSION 1.9.4 ************ This is the version 1.9.4 of KDE-Pim/Pi for the Zaurus. WARNING: PLEASE BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA! We have changed a lot and maybe there are some unknown problems. SYNC HANDLING HAS CHANGED! Such that, if you sync now with an already synded device, you will duplicated entries after the first sync. (This change was introduced to make it possible to sync with mobile phones, which will be available later (maybe in 4 weeks). You need the kmicrokdelibs_1.9.4_arm.ipk as a base for the other programs. If you get the error: "Install only possible in main memory", just try it again to install it on SD card. That worked for me. And it was reported that rebooting Qtopia did help in this case as well. As programs are available: KO/Pi (korganizer ipk) - a calendar program. KA/Pi (kaddressbook ipk ) - an addressbook OM/Pi (kopiemail ipk ) an email program with pop/smtp and IMAP support. An alarm notification program ( korganizer-alarm ipk ) for KO/Pi that notifies you about alarms, even if the Zaurus is in suspend mode. (If you do not see an icon in the taskbar after installing korganizer-alarm, please restart Qtopia) All the applications are installed in a "Pim" TAB. If this TAB is new on your system, you can get an icon in this TAB by installing pim_TAB_icon_1.9.4_arm.ipk All the application are integrated. Such that you can choose in KO/Pi the attendees of a meeting from the addresses in KA/Pi. When you click in KA/Pi on the email address, OM/Pi is started to write the mail. HINT: If you install KPhone/Pi 0.9.7, it will be called, if you click in KA/Pi on a phone number. What's new? SYNC HANDLING HAS CHANGED! Such that, if you sync now with an already synded device, you will duplicated entries after the first sync. (This change was introduced to make it possible to sync with mobile phones, which will be available later (maybe in 4 weeks). New in OM/Pi: When copying(i.e. downloading mails) , you can specify, that only mails of a given size should be downloaded. Added mail copy possibility for selected mails. New in KO/Pi: French is now available for KO/Pi. Choose menu:Actions - Configure:TAB locale Syncing has changed. Phone sync available soon. Not much changes, I cannot remember them ... New in KA/Pi: Beaming possible. Sharp DTM readonly access possible( create a new DTM resource ); Better searching possible. Search is performed only after pressing the return key. Use wildcard * to specify parts of a name. Better name/email selection dialog (called from KO/Pi or OM/Pi). In this dialog, now searching is possible. Like in KA/Pi, use return key and wildcard * . A big improvement is the new management of the contact access. In version 1.9.3, every application was using their own addressbook access data. That means, the addressbook was loaded up to three times in the memory, when accessed by KA/Pi, KO/Pi and OM/Pi. That was wasting of memory, if you had several hundreds of contacts. Now only KA/Pi accesses the addressbook. If KO/Pi or OM/Pi want to get some name/email data, they request KA/Pi to open the name/email selection dialog and send it back to them. If you click on an attendee in a meeting, its contact data is displayed in KA/Pi directly. That means, if KO/Pi or OM/Pi want to access contact data, KA/Pi is started first. New in the KO/Pi alarm applet: Configure your own timer popup menu! (Text and minutes for timer countdown) Just edit the file (yourhomedir)/.kopialarmtimerrc and start/stop a timer to get a new menu with the data of this file. ********** VERSION 1.9.3 ************ 1) Now KO/Pi on Windows imports directly the calendar data of an installed Outlook. 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). c) Choose menu: Edit-Copy. d) Choose menu: Edit-Paste. e) Select the resource, you want to add the contacts to. Congrats! Now you have read/write access to the copied opie contacts as "real" KA/Pi contacts. ********** VERSION 1.9.1 ************ 1) +++ IMPORTANT 1 +++ The storing place of the default calendar file has changed! The default calendar file was Applications/korganizer/mycalendar.ics on Zaurus and (yourHomeDir)/korganizer/mycalendar.ics on Windows/Linux desktop. Now it is (yourHomeDir)/kdepim/korganizer/mycalendar.ics on Zaurus, Windows and Linux. To load the old file, choose menu File-Load calendar backup. (It should be loaded automatically at startup with a warning message displayed). The place of the configuration file has changed too. If you want to use your old KO/Pi config, copy it to (yourHomeDir)/kdepim/config/korganizerrc Please read VERSION 1.9.0 - topic 3) as well! +++ IMPORTANT 2 +++ Because of the new paths, you will need a new version of the KO/Pi alarm applet for Zaurus. Use version >= 1.9.1 2) Now the QWhat'sThis Icon works for items in the month view as well. (See VERSION 1.7.8 Topic 1) ). 3) You can import birtsdays/anniversaries from KA/Pi into KO/Pi. Choose menu File-Import birthdays. If you import twice, already imported items will not be imported again, if they have not been changed in KO/Pi. 4) When syncing with sharp DTM, now a progress is shown, when the data is written back. If there is much data in KO/Pi and no data in DTM, that can take a long time. (But only for the first time ). 5) In the search dialog, you can search now for the name/email of an attendee of an event/todo. To get more space for displaying search results, the buttons for "search" and "close" on the bottom are removed in the PDA version. You have to click OK in the top right corner to do a search. 6) Now it is possible to disable the displaying of todo items in the Allday part of the Agenda. Choose Menu Action-Configure, TAB Todo View, checkbox "Allday Agenda view shows todos" 7) If FastLoad is enabled, now the settings and the calendar data are saved, when KO/Pi is closed. (If no Fastload is enabled, KO/Pi saves the data as well, of course) 8) The Agenda View has a minimize-splitter now, such that the height of the allday part can be changed quickly. ********** VERSION 1.9.0 ************ 1) KO/Pi is now merged with the new microKDE from KA/Pi. KO/Pi accesses now KA/Pi as the addressbook. The other ddressbook-plugins are not working any longer. (It is planned, that later KA/Pi itself uses these plugins) New versions of KO/Pi are only available together with KA/Pi as the KDE-Pim/Pi package. 2) If you click on an attendee of a meeting in the event viewer, a detailed summary of the attendee is shown. 3) The place of the configuration file has changed. If you want to use your old KO/Pi config, copy Applications/korganizer/config_korganizerrc to Applications/korganizer/config/korganizerrc ********** VERSION 1.7.8 ************ 1) Now the QWhat'sThis ist working. Enable the QWhat'sThis icon in the 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 on an item in the Agenda View: You will get a detailed display of the items content. 2) Some other very minor changes. But I have forgotten the details ... For that reason I start this log here: To document my changes, when I am doing it. ********** VERSION 1.7.7 ************ Stable Version of KO/Pi |
