Re: [Announce][Fremantle] Qalendar 0.7 -- a clone of the default calendar
 

Clickable weblinks and (phone)numbers have to be activated in upper menu (button "automatic links") while a single event is open.

There is also a button for the cool new feature "Clone event".

Qalendar crashes/closes when Syncing one of the calendars with Exchange Active Sync
 

Hi.

I just noticed that sometimes qalendar closes or crashes (don't know how to see the difference) the exact moment my by Exchange Active Sync synchronized calendar synchronized.

It happend while qualendar was in foreground when the sync started and again when sync ended (I reopened qualendar in between). Another time it happened, when qualendar was running but viewable in the - how do you call that - list of running applications?

I use qualendar configured as replacement for the stock calendar.

If I can generate a more detailed log of what happens, I'm willing to help. I probably could offer an EAS account for testing.

It's not this is it?

Re: [Announce][Fremantle] Qalendar 0.7.2 -- a clone of the default calendar
 

Hi.

First of all thanks for this great piece of software! Qalendar has replaced the stock calendar on my device.

I have noticed that qalendar doesn't behave exactly the same with the Calendar Home Widget (cal-home-widget) as the stock calendar does.

I use the widget to open the calendar window a lot. When I tap on it, I expect it to open the configured view (weekly, monthly, agenda) and jump to the current day within that view. Qalendar opens the correct view but the selected date is kept from when you last closed or left the calendar window.

So for example, I tap on the widget to open the weekly view. Look around changing weeks and then close the window. Next time when I tap on the widget I want to see the current week and not the week when I last closed the calendar.

I've created a patch that fixes this and hope that it will make it into the next version.

Cheers

Thank you for Qcalendar! Just installed. It will replace my stock calendar as soon as I get used to the first day of the week setting. I have gotten so used to using Sunday as the first day of the week that visually, the month view looks wrong, haha.

Re: [Announce][Fremantle] Qalendar 0.7.2 -- a clone of the default calendar
 

Quick message...
Qalendar 0.7.2-1. First, when going from Day-Events view to One-Event view, a white rectangle flashes on the screen - distracting. Second, when I created a new-local calendar and attempted to move an event from an old-local calendar to the new-local calendar, the event simply disappeared. And didn't reappear after reboot. Third, the new-local calendar became SYNC_CALENDAR, for unknown reason.
Overall, congratulations on clone-event functionality.
I would suggest over-complicating "where" field by addition of checkmark "map-readable". Then, when you are viewing the event, the address could be used as button-link to start map application with this address. Theoretically, calendar-alarm dialog-window could be extended by button to open route-navigation application to the address.
Best wishes. Thank you.

I remember about that, it's almost certain that there will be some kind of animation (or some other form of feedback, albeit I can't think of anything better), but I'd rather avoid overcomplicating things with animation until they are working and tested.



If you don't use the --background switch (or have a typo in it), Qalendar will be terminated after two minutes (what sixwheeledbeast mentioned). If that's not the case and it really crashes, I might be able to fix it with just a backtrace. An example way to obtain it:
1. Install qalendar-dbg (might be not visible in HAM, use FAM or apt if so).
2. Edit "/usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.calendar.service" so that it contains an invalid executable (e.g. "Exec=/usr/bin/qalendarxxx --background"). This is to prevent Qalendar from being automatically restarted.
3. Open terminal and kill Qalendar ("killall qalendar").
4. Execute "gdb qalendar".
5. In gdb console enter "run --background".
6. Crash Qalendar.
7. When it hangs, return to the terminal with gdb and type "bt full".
8. Send me the output of the command from the previous point.



If you mean a fix -- it is there. If the patch itself -- it missed a few things (you can see my take on it here: https://gitorious.org/qalendar/qalen...d977d057c2eb8d).



I think in a few releases you should be able to configure the first day to your liking.



I don't know why it happens, but I know that it can randomly appear in some other Qt apps too.

Failure when moving -- confirmed and fixed. Changing calendar type -- I can neither reproduce that nor see in Qalendar's source how that is possible.

Unfortunately it does not solve the problems which I explained in my previous post and the there's no place to save arbitrary checkboxes in the calendar database.

The dialog which appears when an alarm rings is not part of Qalendar.



I have uploaded an update, Qalendar 0.8. With the possibility to import calendars from ICS files, it is yet another step closer to become a complete replacement for Calendar. There a few other changes too, most notably a fix for the data loss situation reported by Wikiwide, so I recommend to update immediately.

• Implemented importing of calendars through mime_open.
• Handle date change requests in launch_view.
• Error handling improvements in the calendar editor.
• Hide unnecessary buttons and change the title of the calendar editor when creating a new calendar.
• Translate special calendar names.
• Fixed disappearing components when moving them between calendars.
• Updated translations.

Just like with Calendar, to import a calendar, open it in a file browser.

Re: [Announce][Fremantle] Qalendar 0.7.2 -- a clone of the default calendar
 

No objections at all. It provides the same functionality and it's pretty similar anyway. Thanks for including this feature.

I've noticed another small thing that annoys me from time to time. Having used the stock calendar application for a couple of years, I find myself using long taps to access the context menu in event/task view to edit or delete events/tasks occasionally. This does not currently work in Qalendar. A few changes (see attached patch) add this functionality.

BTW, I would actually prefer the longer menu texts (e.g. "Edit event") my patch implements than the original short text (e.g. "Edit") because I find context menus already fiddly enough and selecting bigger entries easier.

Cheers and thanks for the latest update!

Re: [Announce][Fremantle] Qalendar 0.8 -- a clone of the default calendar
 

@gidzzz: I've just tried to import a ics file by opening it with microb, but it only pops up qalendar and nothing happens.
Someone else experienced issues with ics import ?

NB: in order for mime_open magic to happen, I had to reinstall calendar and therefore to edit /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.calendar.service to replace /usr/bin/Calendar by /usr/bin/qalendar, since Calendar reinstall overwrote my first modification of this file

Re: [Announce][Fremantle] Qalendar 0.8 -- a clone of the default calendar
 

I'm afraid the calendar reinstall hasn't worked for me; MicroB doesn't even give me the option to open, just to save. Tapping the file in file manager opens Qalendar, but no file open dialogue.
