We will call Outlook as OL in this document. The PIM programs are KAdddressbook and KOrganizer, which may be used embedded in the Kontact PIM management framework. This HowTo describes version 1.9.5b of the migration tools. The migration tools are the platform independent versions of KAdddressbook and KOrganizer: KAdddressbook/Pi and KOrganizer/Pi. If you want to migrate emails, you can do that via an IMAP server. A Kolab server is an IMAP server. A HowTo how to migrate emails and contact and calendar data to a Kolab server using the Toltec (TM) Outlook(TM) plugin is available as well. You can found it on http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/ Please choose there package/project/file: general Files for KDE/Pim MigrationHowTo_OL2KDE MigrationHowTo_OL2Kolab.txt.zip Content: 1) How to start 2) How to import pst files in Outlook 3) Where to get the migration tools 4) How to install the migration tools 5) How to get the contact data out of Outlook200X 6) How to get the calendar data out of Outlook200X 7) How to import your contact data into Kontact 8) How to import your calendar data into Kontact APPENDIX A) Problems and solutions when reading contact data APPENDIX B) Problems and solutions when reading calendar data **************************************** 1) How to start **************************************** For the migration we need the actual Outlook 200X data, which Outlook stores in *.pst files. Then we need an installed version of Outlook 200X to access these *.pst files. When we have an Outllook 200X running with all data accessable, we need the migration tools. If you have no Outlook200X installed please install the Outlook version, you need to a import your *.pst files. If you have an Outlook200X installed with no contact/calendar data available, and you have some *.pst files please continue with: 2) How to import pst files in Outlook. If you have a running Outlook200X already with contact/calendar data available, please continue with: 3) Where to get the migration tools. **************************************** 2) How to import pst files in Outlook **************************************** To open a local *.pst file in Outlook2003, choose menu: File - Open - Outlook Data File ... Now the data included in this file is shown as folders of a newly added root folder in the Outlook folder view. This root folder is probably not accessable from the migration tools via OLE. To access data stored in one of the subfolders, copy this subfolder to a root folder, which can be accessed from the migration tools via OLE. (To know, which folder can be accessed, just perform 5.) or 6.) until you get the Oulook import dialog!) To copy it, right click on that subfolder and choose Copy "<subfoldername>"... in the popup menu. **************************************** 3) Where to get the migration tools **************************************** The data migration is is performed with the Windows versions of KAdddressbook/Pi and KOrganizer/Pi. Pi stands for platform-independend - platform-independend because the same program is available for different platforms, like Windows, Linux desktop and Sharp-Zaurus PDA. Note: The Linux desktop versions of KOrganizer/Pi and KOrganizer/KDE-desktop are two different programs! You cannot use KOrganizer/Pi together with, or embedded in, the KDE-desktop environment. The same is valid for KAdddressbook/Pi. The programs you need for the migration are: a) KAdddressbook/Pi executeable + 2dlls + icons b) KOrganizer/Pi executeable + icons c) The Qt3 library qt-mt331.dll and the MSVC library msvcr71.dll and the MSVC library mfc71u.dll You can download all of them at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/ Download of a) and b) Please choose there package/project with name KDE/Pim (Direct link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=112604 ) Choose there the topmost latest version and the files -kapixxx-exe.zip -kopixxx-exe.zip -The latest version is currently ( 2004-09-15 ) 1.9.5b. -Such that the files to download are -kapi195b-exe.zip -kopi195b-exe.zip +kdepim_X.X.X_for_Windows.zip +Such that the files to download is +kdepim_X.X.X_for_Windows.zip To download c) Please choose there package/project/file: general Files for KDE/Pim Needed Windows Dlls kdepimdll.zip (Direct link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=122438&release_id=256700 ) Choose there the file: kdepimdll.zip Now you have downloaded the files -kapi195b-exe.zip -kopi195b-exe.zip +kdepim_X.X.X_for_Windows.zip kdepimdll.zip and we can continue to install the files, which is simply unzipping them. **************************************** 4) How to install the migration tools **************************************** You have downloaded the files -kapi195b-exe.zip -kopi195b-exe.zip +kdepim_X.X.X_for_Windows.zip kdepimdll.zip Unzip these files. Now choose an arbitrary installation directory, where to copy all the needed files together. You should have now the following files and the directory "kdepim" in the same directory: kopi.exe kapi.exe microkabc_dir.dll microkabc_file.dll msvcr71.dll mfc71u.dll qt-mt331.dll ReadMich.txt kdepim (directory) The directory "kdepim" should contain subdirectories kaddressbook korganizer which itself contain some subdirectories with icons and help text. Now the migration tools are ready for use. NOTE AND HINT for performing migration on many workstations: Just burn the content of the installation dir on a CD. Then you can put the CD in every workstation and execute the migration tools from that CD directly. ************************************************************* 5) How to get the contact data out of Outlook200X ************************************************************* Note: When accessing Outlook to read the data, it should not be possible, that there is any data lost in Outlook, because the progam accesses Outlook only Read-Only. You have the file kapi.exe and the other needed files accessable on your workstation. Getting the contact data Please start kapi.exe. Choose menu: File - Import - Import from Outlook... You will get a dialog which shows all "Personal Folders" of Outlook. Choose the Contact Folder(s) you want to import and select them with a hook. (All other folder but the contact containing folders are shown, but disabled). (If the data you want to import is not stored in one of the shown folders, please read step 2.) and click on "close" ). Click the "import" button. Now Outlook asks you to allow access to the contact data. Select "Allow access" amd click "Yes" in this dialog. Now the importing is performed and KA/Pi will show a progress bar. After importing, KA/Pi shows a dialog, how much contacts are imported. If you press a second time "import" , already imported contacts are not imported again. After importing you can choose another "Contact Folder" to import or close the import dialog. Please close the import dialog. Now you see the imported contacts in KA/Pi on the left in the list view. Please verify, that the import was correct. About problems of mapping particular Outlook-data-fields to KAdressbook-data-fields see Appendix A). Choose menu: File - Save and close KA/Pi. Now you should have the contact data in the file std.vcf in your home directory in the path (YOURHOMEDIR)\kdepim\apps\kabc\std.vcf Copy that file to a moveable disk or memory stick or just copy it via network to the destination. Import that file into KAddressbook/Kontact via Import - Import vcard. Details about importing you can read at: 7) How to import your contact data into Kontact Now you have your Outlook200X contact data on the KDE desktop available and you are done with the migration of contacts. ************************************************************* 6) How to get the calendar data out of Outlook200X ************************************************************* Note: When accessing Outlook to read the data, it should not be possible, that there is any data lost in Outlook, because the progam accesses Outlook only Read-Only. You have the file kopi.exe and the other needed files accessable on your workstation. Getting the calendar data NOTE: Before extracting the calendar data, it is recommended to extract the contact data first. If you extract the contact data first, the identity (UID) of attendees of a meeting can be mapped correctly in the newly created appointments, such that you can access the attendee contact data later directly from KOrganizer. Please start kopi.exe. You will see a dialog, that you started KO/Pi for the first time and that the timezone configuration will be shown now. Confirm with "Ok". Now you will see the configuration dialog of KO/Pi. Please choose your timezone and adjust the daylight saving settings. The dialog shows defaults for CET (Central European Time), such that users located in central Europe simply can press "OK" in that dialog. (Note: Don't forget to set the timezone in KDE KOrganizer before importing data there. The timezone in KDE KOrganizer is set per default to UTC (GMT), that is -1h of CET). Now you will see the KO/Pi main window. Choose menu: File - Import from OL You will get a dialog which shows all "Personal Folders" of Outlook. Choose the Calendar Folder(s) you want to import and select them with a hook. (All other folder but the calendar data containing folders are shown, but disabled). (If the data you want to import is not stored in one of the shown folders, please read step 2.) and click on "close" ). Click the "import" button. Now Outllok asks you to allow access to the contact data. Select "Allow access" amd click "Yes" in this dialog. Now the importing is performed and KO/Pi will show a progress bar. After importing, KO/Pi shows a dialog, how much calendar items are imported. If you press a second time "import" , already imported calendar items are not imported again. After importing you can choose another "Calendar Folder" to import or close the import dialog. Please close the import dialog. Now you see the imported calendar items in KO/Pi. Please verify, that the import was correct. About problems of mapping particular Outlook-data-fields to KOrganizer-data-fields see Appendix B). Close KO/Pi - data will be saved automatically. Now you should have the calendar data in the file mycalendar.ics in your home directory in the path (YOURHOMEDIR)\kdepim\apps\korganizer\mycalendar.ics Copy that file to a moveable disk or memory stick or just copy it via network to the destination. Import that file into KOrganizer/Kontact. Details about importing your calendar data you can read at: 8) How to import your calendar data into Kontact. (Warning again: Don't forget to set the timezone in KDE KOrganizer before importing data there. The timezone in KDE KOrganizer is set per default to UTC (GMT), that is -1h of CET). Now you have your Outlook200X calendar data on the KDE desktop available and you are done with the migration. Hint: If you want to use KO/Pi and KA/Pi on your windows desktop, you should read all the help information available in the KO/Pi Help menu. One Highlight of KO/Pi is the easy syncing with another *.ics file. (Information about syncing available in the KO/Pi help menu). Another hint: KO/Pi + KA/Pi ( = KDE-Pim/Pi ) are available for the Sharp Zaurus PDA. Syncing data works for KO/Pi ( version 1.9.3) but not yet for KA/Pi. ************************************************************* 7) How to import your contact data into Kontact ************************************************************* We want to import and upload our contacts to a Kolab server. You should have access to a properly configured Kolab client. This Kolab client is Kontact in KDE. Make sure, you have the needed IMAP resources configured in KAddressbook. To configure IMAP resources, you should do: Open KDE control center, choose there KDE Components - KDE Resource Configuration Choose there: Resources: contact and then: Add... IMAP Now start Kontact and select the Contacts icon on the left side. Choose menu: File... - Import - Import VCard... Select the imap resource as destination of the import and choose the file to import. Now the contacts should be imported and you are done. Don't forget to sync the IMAP account to upload to contacts to the server. ************************************************************* 8) How to import your calendar data into Kontact ************************************************************* We want to import and upload our calendar data to a Kolab server. You should have access to a properly configured Kolab client. This Kolab client is Kontact in KDE. Make sure, you have the needed IMAP resources configured in KOrganizer. To configure IMAP resources, you should do: Open KDE control center, choose there KDE Components - KDE Resource Configuration Choose there: Resources: calendar and then: Add...

Select the imap resource as destination of the import and choose the file to import. Now the calendar data should be imported and you are done. Don't forget to sync the IMAP account to upload the calendar data to the server. ************************************************************* APPENDIX A) Problems and solutions when reading contact data ************************************************************* All data, which can be displayed and accessed in KAddressbook is imported from Outlook. 1) Addresses In Outlook you can assign an attribute "This is the mailing address" to one of the addresses. This address shows up in KAddressbook twice. The first time with the original attribute from Outlook ( e.g. "work" for "business" in OL ). The second time with the attribute "postal". 2) Telephone Numbers All telephone numbers of OL are imported. OL offers special case telephone numbers, like "Assistant", which have no counterpart in KAdressbook. In that case, the imported number has special combined attributes in KAddressbook. Here is the mapping of types in OL to attributes in KA: OL type Attributes in KA Assistant Work + Voice Business Work Business2 Work BusinessFax Work + Fax Car Car Home Home Home2 Home HomeFax Home + Fax ISDN Isdn Mobile Cell (displayed as Mobile Phone) OtherFax Fax OtherTelephone Voice Pager Pager PrimaryTelephone Pref ( displayed as typeless, with attribute preferred ) TTYTDD Modem Telex Fax + Bbs (Bbs displayed as MailBox - not very senseful, sorry ...) CompanyMain Work + Pref Radio Video Callback Voice + Pref Some mapping may not be very senseful, but it helps to identify the original OL types. 3) Additional fields For some contact fields in Outlook there is no corresponding field in KAddressbook. The following contact fields are imported to KAddressbook and the field name and content is prepended the notes information of the contact item in the notes field. The following fields of Outlook are mapped to the notes field: Language, Hobby, Homepage, Billing information, Customer ID, User1, User2, User3, User4 Example: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Additonal fields created by KA/Pi Outlook import: Language: Swedish Hobby: Golf,fishing End additonal fields created by KA/Pi Outlook import! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <Below that are your notes of this contact> ************************************************************* APPENDIX B) Problems and solutions when reading calendar data ************************************************************* Almost all data, which can be displayed and accessed in KOrganizer is imported from Outlook. Attachments of appointments are not imported. KOrganizer may crash, when reading some kinds of attachments. These may be changed in future versions. Attendee lists of meetings and their state are imported in KOrganizer. A problem is importing some kinds of recurring events: First problem: OL offers a recurrence like - Yearly recurrence, every second Tuesday of July. KOrganizer ( in versions < 3.3.0 ) does not offer that kind of recurrence. Such that "Yearly recurrence, every second Tuesday of July." is converted to "Monthly recurrence, every 12. month, second Tuesday in month, StartMonth = July." which can be edited in KO. Second problem: OL offers an exception in a recurrence with other data/time. KO offers only an exception in a recurrence , where the exception is deleted from the row of all occurences. Such that "Recurring event with exception, that date XX should be at date YY" in OL is converted to two events in KO: "Recurring event with exception, that date XX is not included" "Non-recurring event at date YY with same data like the recurring event (e.g. Summary, location, attendee list, ...)" diff --git a/bin/ReadMe_Zaurus.txt b/bin/ReadMe_Zaurus.txt index 2cac8cd..e91fb0e 100644 --- a/bin/ReadMe_Zaurus.txt +++ b/bin/ReadMe_Zaurus.txt @@ -1,148 +1,159 @@ This is the Zaurus version of KO/Pi and KA/Pi (www.pi-sync.net), the platform independent PIM programs based on the PIM programs (KOrganizer and KAddressbook) of KDE (www.kdeorg).

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 |
