The only problem are the absolute paths in the KA/Pi resource configuration. +KA/Pi stores it's resource information in the file <storageDir>/config/kabcrc. +Change the absolute paths there if you changed your storageDir or (that is recommended) change the path of the resources in the KA/Pi resource configuration directly. + +******************************************** +1) Zaurus and desktop settings +******************************************** + +You can access the global settings from KA/Pi and from KO/Pi. +To change the storage dir go to configure dialog. Choose there the "Global" TAB and there the "Data storage path" TAB. +Change the value of the current storage path to a new (absolute) path and press the button "Save settings". +Restart the application. +Import your data to the application or copy the old storage dir to the new dir. Solve the KA/Pi resource path problem as in 0). + +******************************************** +2) Additional settings for the desktop +******************************************** + +The LOCAL option: +In the desktop versions (NOT on the Zaurus) you have the possibility to set the storage dir relative to the executable binary. +That does mean: You can copy all the data (binaries, config data, application data) of the directory where the binaries are to another directory and it will find all files without needing to change anything. NO resource path change is needed. +In this LOCAL mode only resource files are supported (no resource directories) and only in the <storageDir>/apps/kabc/ directory (the default directory). + +To set the LOCAL mode go to configure dialog. Choose there the "Global" TAB and there the "Data storage path" TAB. +Press there the button "Save using LOCAL storage". +Restart the application. + +This LOCAL mode makes it possible to run KO/Pi and KA/Pi from a USB stick: +All data is read from and written to the stick. +Just put KDE-Pim/Pi on a memory stick and you can access all your PIM data on every computer with Windows XP. It will work with the ME and Linux versions as well. + +******************************************** +3) Technical background information +******************************************** + +Directly after the start KDE-Pim/Pi looks for the evironment variable MICROKDEHOME. +If the variable is set, the path in the MICROKDEHOME is used as the storage dir.
