3. Select "Edit calendars" (don't know the exact english term for it)
4. Click on a calendar you wish to export, i.e. "Hobby"
5. Select "Export" on the right side of the menu and save wherever you want to. Do this with all the calendars you'd like to have on GPE.

You are done in the default N900s calendar now. Time to go to GPE.

6. Open up GPE calendar
7. Select "Import" from the top bar
8. Go to the folder where you saved your files exported from the default calendar and select the file you want.
9. Now you can either import to an existing calendar type in GPE or you can create a new one on the fly. Please note that a larger calendar database takes quite some time to import and that the progress bar might freeze.
10. Repeat till all your exported data is done.

I really enjoy GPE calendar, so much better than the default solution. Thank you so much for creating the nice piece of software.

I am going to try and figure out a way to do this in a script so that I can create and alarmd entry to automatically import updated versions of the calendar as it comes over from mfe. I am just on a wild goose chase?

This is a PR1.2 bug. Unfortunately I have only recently upgraded and hadn't noticed this yet. The problem is explained in Bug 10370 and in this thread but the workround is to get root access and type in the following two commands. Note: there are two commands but I have split them over two lines each to avoid them wrapping in a confusing way. Take care to copy them exactly and enter them as 4 lines as shown.

Code:

mv /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/mimetypes/gtk-* \
 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/
ln -sf general_delete.png \
 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/gtk-delete.png

Figured it out, for others like me, Download/install "Rootish" . Start x-terminal on the N900 and wrigt the command: “sudo gainroot”. (press Enter.) Copy our god mans code above by copy. (Access this page on the N900, fetsh the "arow-curser" from screens left upper corner, Press Shift and mark the code; Press Ctrl and C. Go back to X-Terminal and Click menue on topp, chouse "Glue" (Ctrl V ,does not work here) And last, Enter! And, it works.

I have also created a package in extras-devel called "Fix PR1.2 Missing Icons" (also known as fixpr12icons). Installing this package causes the icons to be set up correctly. The package can then be uninstalled or left.

I don't know if this is the best place to post or not, but I am trying to use GPE Calendar on my N900 and so far it looks great. But I can't seem to find the GPE Summary widget, so in order to have alarms I have to leave the calendar running all the time and make sure I restart it after a reboot.

I have extras-testing and extras-devel enabled and I can't see it, can someone please tell me where I can get GPE Summary?

Cheers.

The GPE Summary widget is now installed automatically whenever GPE Calendar, Contacts or Todo are installed. It isn't a separate installation any more.

If it isn't already on one of your home screens, just add it like any other widget -- it should be in the list.

Hi thanks for the great app,

Please could you tell me where the widget backround image is stored?

I would like to edit it if possible.

I couldn't find a way to enter this bug in the maemo bug list, so here it is. Let me know if there is a better place to submit this.

I'm using the latest n900 GPE. Much more features than the built-in calendar.

I have a recurring event created on Saturday, May 21, 2011. It is an all-day event set to recur on the 3rd saturday of every month. This is fine until November. In the November month display, it is shown on Friday, Nov 18 instead of Saturday, Nov 19. In the day views it is not shown at all (does not appear on Nov 18 or Nov 19). On the week view it is shown both Nov 18 and Nov 19.
