Fixed some minor problems in KO/Pi. -Added calendar selection possibility to the todo view popup and to the event/todo editor. - +Added calendar selection possibility to the todo view popup and to the event/todo/journal editor. + +Fixed memory usage problems in KA/Pi: +When loading data KA/Pi did load the file data twice. +Example: + A 600k file did consume 1200k memory during loading process. + This is fixed, it does now consume only 600k during loading process. +When saving data KA/Pi did consume a lot of memory for the data parsing during the save process. +This is fixed. +Example: + Before saving a 600k file KA/Pi did consume 21.7 Meg of Ram. + When saving KA/Pi did consume 28.6 Meg of Ram. That causes a crash on the Zaurus because there was no memeory left in the system. + Now KA/Pi is consuming on saving the same data 22.0 Meg of Ram during the save process. +Note: The memory usage of KA/Pi after the data is loaded/saved has not changed. + +Fixed memory usage problems in KO/Pi: +When KO/Pi did save the data to file, it did not release the used buffers after saving. +The used buffer was released after saving the next time, but there was new buffer space allocated again on that save operation. +This is fixed. +Example: + When saving a 400k file KO/Pi do now use 400k less memory now. + +Optimized memory usage in KO/Pi Agenda view: +KO/Pi is storing some paint information in extra buffers for faster repainting of the agenda view. +These buffers were not made smaller (i.e. downsized) because of performance reasons. +The handling of these buffers are now much smarter: +Two (of six) buffers are removed completely. +The remaing four buffers are now downsized after not using the agenda view for 45 seconds. +Such that the memory usage of KO/Pi is smaller now in general ( because 2 buffers are removed) and is much smaller when not using the agenda view. That is very important when using fastload for KO/Pi. + +Worst case example ( for a maximum size agenda content): + When resizing the agenda content to a large scale, KO/Pi did use 17Meg of mem ( and did not use less memory until it was stopped). Now KO/Pi is using on the same operation only 14.3 Meg of mem and after 45 seconds not using the agenda view it uses only 9.4 Meg of mem. + +Summary: +Many memory wasting problems of KA/Pi and KO/Pi fixed such that it is better to use on the Zaurus. ********** VERSION 2.1.12 ************ KO/Pi: Many small usability fixes, e.g. rearranged the popup menus such that they are better to use on the Zaurus. Fixed a problem with the month view when file was saved but KO/Pi was not the active window. Fixed some problems in the resource config dialog (e.g. added a warning if you set all calendars to read-only). Fixed some other small problems. |
