Re: [Announce] Gene Cash's to_do and calend PIM programs for OS 2008
 

I haven't used the finger keyboard... I've only accidentally seen it pop up once when I was messing around in other apps. What is a good app to use it in, and how do I reliably activate it (as a user)?

Thanks...

I tried both! I did "save as" for all the packages then used dpkg actually. I can try wget...

Hooray! wget... uh... wgot. Thanks.

As to which Python, runtime 2.5.

As to How install, see this post.

I've downloaded and installed all three of Gene's Apps. Wow, I hope they live to the initial impression: Great Work Gene!

They look to be a great replacement for the Palm PIMs that I have been missing...

Does anyone know if the ToDo's and Calender entries interact?
ie Add new Todo with a due date and it shows in the Calender.


Todo specific question: how do I keep the date chooser from dropping off the bottom of the screen?

Thanks

There is some interaction between Gene's to_do and calend apps. You can mark calend entries to generate a to_do entry on their appointed date. The implementation is that calend sends a todo entry over to the to_do app. Also, in order for that to work, calend queries the to_do app for its list of categories. It seems to query Gene's to_do app only, so for example it won't pull categories from GPE's todo manager.

Edit: I think this implementation means that you can setup repeating to_do entries via the calend.

I don't know of a date chooser in Gene's to_do app. Perhaps you ran a different to_do app?

Thanks and... take your time. I will wait for 4.1 anyway. :)

Have a problem with the calendar.
Imported an ical (saved from Outlook).
It accepted it but the log showed lots of errors and the imported calendar was not correct.
But now when I start calendar it gets as far as saying "populating the date cache" and then it vanishes.
Is there a calendar cache somewhere that I can delete?
I cant uninstall calendar as it says it is needed.
TIA and thanks for a useful port.

I have the cal installed with the alarm working from manually inputting an event...:cool:

However, when I try to import ical into calendar it states "populating the date cache" then nothing is imported...

I also tried my igoogle cal code as well as the ical (basic.ics) and that did not work...which would be the best...even if gpe cal could be imported...

n810 2008 OS - RX-44_2008SE_2.2007.51-3

any ideas....

The functionality, look and feel of this PIM is the best yet...

Re: [Announce] Gene Cash's to_do and calend PIM programs for OS 2008
 

Thanks for trying that... since the riskier bits like pyalarmd "just worked", I haven't tested the import feature yet. I'm hoping to do that soon for my own data which is currently in GPE. Unfortunately GPE needs some additional scripting to dump its data into standard iCalendar form. Getting the GPE calendar -> calend path working will be my highest priority... hopefully by next week.

I believe the file to delete is here:
