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. @@ -71,96 +123,97 @@ Because it is not yet implemented. ************************************************************************* Q: Why does not KO/Pi sync directly with Outlook? A: 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 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* +bin/kopi bin/db2file apps/Pim/korganizer.desktop pics/kdepim/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. +If the install problem persists rebooting may be helpful. ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* 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. |
