-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.

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. -

-************************************************************* -APPENDIX A) Problems and solutions when reading contact data -************************************************************* - -All data, which can be displayed and accessed in KAddressbook is imported from Outlook. -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". - -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. - - -************************************************************* -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, ...)" -
