** KPILOT CHANGELOG **
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
TODO: Figure out why archived records are bad.
|
|
[23:07] <till> Now i'm hunting why new entries on the palm are dropped and
|
|
deletes from the palm as well.
|
|
[23:44] <till> [ade]: Hm, I delete a task on the palm, sync, and the
|
|
record->isDeleted() is false, on sync, but it is modified and
|
|
updated on the pc, although that does not change anything.
|
|
|
|
TODO: store map of pilot-id <-> uid elsewhere (not in the .vcf file)
|
|
TODO: don't make ActionQueue auto-delete the actions in it.
|
|
TODO: provide template-based, interpreted databases much like the
|
|
AppInfo classes now have.
|
|
TODO: give the knotes conduit a decent test mode.
|
|
TODO: only re-write a local database if it is changed.

|
|
* Fixing bug reported by Pablo Yepes on kdepim-users mailing list. We did
|
|
severe goofiness with middle names... The Palm can't handle them, so we
|
|
blindly tacked firstname + " " + lastname and stuck it into the Palm's
|
|
firstname field. The problem is that whenever a copy from palm->pc is
|
|
done, the kludged first name is transferred to kabc ("firstname middle").
|
|
And, it's compounded by every change in either direction. It's an ugly
|
|
hack and I've removed it. The only way to work around it would be to add
|
|
an additional check for !firstname.endsWith(abEntry.additionalName()),
|
|
but that's even sillier. Stop the insanity!
|
|
|
|
2007-12-17 Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper
|
|
* Woot! Fixing major breakage for funky usb devices. pulled back some
|
|
removed code from KDE 3.5.6's kpilot for usb workaround code and fit it
|
|
into the new threaded model. This fixes syncing for me on my Palm Treo
|
|
700p.
|
|
* Reformatting and cleaning up kpilotdevicelink.cc.
|
|
* New Private.h to hold the bits of kpilotdevicelink.cc that should not be
|
|
exposed via kpilotdevicelink.h. Also, DeviceCommThread extends QObject
|
|
and QThread, so we need to have automoc run on it.
|
|
* Switching from using QCustomEvent to using QEvent for device tickle
|
|
thread to match what is done in kpilotdevicelink.
|
|
|
|
2007-04-15 Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper
|
|
* merging all development and bug fixes from kdepim-3.5.5+ branch into
|
|
stable branches/KDE/3.5 in preparation for KDE 3.5.7
|
|
* cmake cleanups
|
|
* namespacing and cleanups in sysinfoconduit
|
|
* lots of debugging cleanups. remove #ifdef DEBUG from much of the code.
|
|
* cleanups in memofile conduit. now try to use new (OS5) database
|
|
(MemosDB-PMem) if it's found, otherwise fall back to the legacy one
|
|
(MemoDB)
|
|
* as a first step to combatting the "kpilot ate my future" e-mails (read:
|
|
data loss), we now use a CUDCounter (Create/Update/Delete). step 1 is to
|
|
track these and report on them to the user in their sync log. step 2 is
|
|
to catch ill behavior and prompt the user as to whether or not to allow
|
|
kpilot to make the large amount of changes. step 3 is to allow the user
|
|
to configure the count or percentage of changes that kpilot can make
|
|
without his/her confirmation. step 1 is done. we'll approach steps 2 and
|
|
3 post kde 3.5.7.
|
|
* new strings related to the above
|
|
* bug fixing in popconduit... making sure we always have a sent date
|
|
* Bertjan has the start of knotes cleanup going on
|
|
* bug fixing in vcalconduit... long-time bug that existed in libkcal that
|
|
caused every calendar resource save to mark every calendar event as
|
|
modified. now kpilot won't have to sync every record every time.
|
|
* bug fixing kabc resource problems in abbrowser conduit. although it's
|
|
not documented in kabc, it looks like we should be removing a local
|
|
resource from the address book before we delete it.
|
|
* bringing mal conduit back alive again. none of our small band of merry
|
|
men use it, though, so it may or may not actually do what it's supposed
|
|
to.
|
|
* fixing bug where we were saving conduit databases to DBBackup instead of
|
|
conduits/ directory.
|
|
* changing KPilotDeviceLink to use a separate thread, dedicated to doing
|
|
device communication. this is much better design as a start, but fixes
|
|
the problems kpilot was having (and widely talked about) where kpilot
|
|
would hang and crash if our user was using "usb:" or "net:any" devices
|
|
because of how these new "device"s operated (allowed immediate opening,
|
|
even though there is no physical device connected, and then hung
|
|
indefinitely until the real device connected).
|
|
* bringing in design documents (jpegs) for memofile conduit from 2004-12-12
|
|
(they're not installed, but are valuable for documentation and insight)
|
|
* icon naming error bug fix 122582
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-10-24 Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper
|
|
* Getting rid of FastSync. The only difference between it and HotSync was
|
|
that HotSync did a Backup and FastSync did not. Having a third
|
|
permutation because of not having a way to set it in the Backup settings
|
|
seems wrong. Also, if one of them is to go, I think that HotSync is much
|
|
more recognizable and widely used than FastSync.
|
|
* Allowing finer-grained control around when database backups are done.
|
|
This is so that users can choose when they want a backup to be done.
|
|
The problem I need to solve for myself is that since I'm now syncing
|
|
between 2 PCs, I need a full sync to be done whenever I switch. But I
|
|
do not EVER want an automatic backup to be done. Currently, this is not
|
|
possible. Fixing it. =:) This will also allow for schedule backups to
|
|
be done, which is also of interest to me.
|
|
|
|
2006-01-30 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Updated pilot-link to today's CVS, with one change - use of pl_socklen_t
|
|
in inet.c changed back to socklen_t.
|
|
* Added --loop to kpilotTest to repeatedly run the same action. Only
|
|
works for --list right now.
|
|
|
|
2006-01-23 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Gosh, where to begin. KPilot moved SVN repositories, changed build
|
|
systems, had the guts of the device link class refactored, bumped the
|
|
plugin API version again, and tons more. The commit logs are probably
|
|
the most useful source of information about what's changed.
|
|
|
|
2005-08-18 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Found out that the PilotAppCategory constructor that takes
|
|
a PilotRecord * was passing subsequent parameters in the wrong
|
|
order, which caused Jason's problem below.
|
|
* Renamed soem icons and fixed up the icon loading code so that
|
|
the "sidebar" icons in KPilot can now be themed as well.
|
|
|
|
2005-08-18 Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper
|
|
* Started fixing bug #103581. Got side-tracked by my discovery that when
|
|
we change ToDos on the palm, we sync them to the PC and then promptly
|
|
delete them from the Palm--not very nice of us. I'll try to get the rest
|
|
working tomorrow, but the end result will be that if our user changes a
|
|
ToDo category and there is only one category in korganizer for that ToDo,
|
|
we will change the category for the KCal event. If there is already more
|
|
than one category that korganizer knows about, then we'll continue to
|
|
append the Palm's category to the one in korganizer.
|
|
|
|
2005-08-17 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Promote the new Pilot*Info (template) classes which simplify loading
|
|
AppInfo structures from a database. Deprecate some AddressEntry
|
|
constructors to do so, and add one that takes a PilotAddressInfo
|
|
instead. In kpilot/, replace a bunch of error-prone buffer-handling
|
|
calls by the use of these template classes.
|
|
* Use PilotAddressInfo also in the abbrowser conduit. This removes a
|
|
bunch of tricky encoding handling from the conduit and puts it in
|
|
the base Info class, where it belongs.
|
|
|
|
2005-08-16 Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper
|
|
* Fixed annoyance in vcalconduit (korganizer calendar/todo conduit) that
|
|
caused it to not clean up duplicates/things that should be deleted from
|
|
the Palm on a copy PC to Handheld sync.
|
|
* Fixed some majorly ugly bugs in the addressbook conduit that caused
|
|
duplicate addressbook records to be generated and not deleted once
|
|
created.
|
|
|
|
2005-08-15 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Added lots of null-pointer checks so that it may become possible to
|
|
run conduits without a device link soon. This would be good for testing.
|
|
* Noticed that the factory code needs refactoring into templates.
|
|
Did so, and ported the abbrowser factory to it. Basically, this
|
|
removes a lot of cut-and-paste from the whole thing. Same for the
|
|
timeconduit.
|
|
|
|
2005-06-05 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* I learned to make Chinese dumplings yesterday. That's a much better use
|
|
of a saturday afternoon than bug hunting, don't you think?
|
|
* Put lots of effort into the dox for PilotDateEntry, normalized a lot
|
|
of things, gave things slightly more sensible names. This is work towards
|
|
implementing the DatabaseInterpreter for appointments, so you can treat
|
|
the data on the Pilot as a sequence of (libkcal) Events instead of as
|
|
binary blobs.
|
|
* Patch from Dylan G applied that replaces 15s and 16s in the code with a
|
|
defined constant (there already was one, just not used consistently).
|
|
Did some more rationalizing, finally removed the CATEGORY_COUNT define
|
|
which was just a duplicate.
|
|
|
|
2005-05-27 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Start of the PIM meeting! Way!
|
|
* Committed some critical data-loss fixes yesterday. Too late for the KDE 3.4.1 release.
|
|
Argh. I think it would have been better not to touch BRANCH at all and leave it
|
|
at the same buggy state as in KDE 3.4.0
|
|
* Fairly large-scale deprecation of functions in lib/, finally factored out the
|
|
shared attributes/category/id stuff from records and AppCategory objects.
|
|
|
|
2005-05-26 Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper
|
|
* Fixing nasty little bug (#106324) causing data loss in memofile conduit
|
|
* isFirstSync() is true for both copyHHtoPC and copyPCtoHH. memofile
|
|
conduit only wants to do copyHHtoPC if we're either told to, or we don't
|
|
have any local memos in the filesystem
|
|
|
|
2005-05-22 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Gratuitously update the version number, call this one "kind" (Dutch for
|
|
"child", or otherwise short for "kind of liable to eat your data").
|
|
This sort-of makes me wish we'd just left BRANCH totally unchanged
|
|
since the last release. KDE 3.4.1 tomorrow.
|
|
|
|
2005-05-20 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Split PISOCK_LIB into PISOCK_LIB and PISOCK_LDFLAGS. This makes it possible
|
|
to slip the include and library dir for pilot-link right in front, which in
|
|
turn makes it possible to build against development pilot-link versions even
|
|
if there are installed copies in standard locations as well.
|
|
* Extended the AppInfo template class with a pack function as well, so that
|
|
reading and writing AppInfo blocks can be delegated there.
|
|
* Ported the ToDo conduit to use the PilotToDoInfo template instantiation.
|
|
|
|
2005-05-16 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Added yet another constructor to the local databases, this time hopefully
|
|
one that doesn't have a horribly convoluted semantics -- it just opens
|
|
a file (or not).
|
|
* Added more tests for lib. These will always fail unless you have a copy
|
|
of Aesop's fables in /tmp .
|
|
|
|
2005-05-13 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Friday the 13th! I merged HEAD to BRANCH and am now working in
|
|
BRANCH (branches/KDE/3.4/kdepim/kpilot) to do bugfixes. New features
|
|
and strings go in HEAD, and we'll forward-port bugfixes at some
|
|
point. The cutover is revision 413061.
|
|
|
|
2005-05-11 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Wasted much time trying to get generic FreeBSD USB support for non-
|
|
Visors working in pilot-link-0.12 before I found out that ColdSync
|
|
doesn't support that either.
|
|
* Removed non-working calendar conduits (calendarbaseconduit/ and
|
|
calendarconduits/) from the conduits dir; restore them w/ SVN
|
|
commits near 412528. These were recordconduit-based conduits
|
|
by Reinhold, but I broke the RecordConduit in the meantime.
|
|
|
|
2005-05-07 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* After tweaking pilot-link 0.12-pre3 so that KPilot will with it (has to do
|
|
with API consistency) the AppInfo template class works again, and i've
|
|
extended it a little to make setting and getting category names nicer.
|
|
* Applied the new template to the memofile conduit.
|
|
|
|
2005-04-22 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Fixed (I hope) bug in notepad conduit related to having zero records in the
|
|
database.
|
|
* Added some more dox.
|
|
|
|
2005-04-20 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Finally added a general test() function to sync actions to mirror the
|
|
exec() call. By default, this calls exec() and logs a warning. Removed it
|
|
again because it won't work -- SyncAction doesn't _have_ a SyncMode set.
|
|
* Started doing a little bit of test code in the KNotes conduit.
|
|
|
|
2005-04-18 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Being on vacation doesn't mean I'm not on the job. Doxied a lot, did some cleanup.
|
|
* Renamed PilotLocalDatabase::writeID() and changed its signature, since it
|
|
was kind of stupid. Doxied it, too.
|
|
|
|
2005-04-12 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* For a lark, and for David, re-added some KDE 3.2 compatibility code.
|
|
* Template madness! An easy way to create the right appinfo's from any database.
|
|
|
|
2005-04-11 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Bumped KPilot version.
|
|
* Added a test program for some parts of the library. Woo! A first!
|
|
Finally something resembling actual software engineering in KPilot.
|
|
* Cleaned up headers that weren't including all required (system) headers.
|
|
* Moved all the conduits to the new SyncMode.
|
|
|
|
2005-04-10 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Some useful patches from Philip T. to the vcal conduit committed.
|
|
* Made the sync mode a full-fledged class and ported lib/ and kpilot/
|
|
to use it. Disabled all the conduits for the time being. Bumped the
|
|
conduit API because of this. This might cause some serious breakage
|
|
for the time being.
|
|
|
|
2005-04-09 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Geez, can we switch to Subversion yet?
|
|
* Committed the weird-ass record conduit template changes. This makes the
|
|
RecordConduit a fully templated "container". You plug in 5 other classes
|
|
to get a working implementation. This is similar to what the record
|
|
conduit already. The main difference is that it is easier to re-use
|
|
the things you plug into the recordconduit template. I have a KNotes
|
|
partial implementation that wraps KCal::Calendar, so that is immediately
|
|
reuseable for the other 4-button ones.
|
|
* Ripped out test mode from KPilotTest and elsewhere, since it wasn't working
|
|
at all. I think the "mode" setting for conduits needs a lot more structure.
|
|
Just having an enum doesn't cut it (what about doing a test-mode local
|
|
PC to HH sync? Such a sync could be used to produce .pdb files from Kontact
|
|
data, which is just what the doctor ordered sometimes).
|
|
|
|
2005-03-22 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Long drought in doing any KPilot work or updating the ChangeLog.
|
|
* Meddled in lib/ some to add modifiedIDList() and sanitize some types.
|
|
* Prepared to make fFirstSync private, though it has getters and setters
|
|
so that doesn't really do much for OO'ness.
|
|
* Wrote a template class for doing syncs generically, to replace the
|
|
RecordConduit. This one I understand, at least. It's not done yet though,
|
|
by a long shot, though I have classes to plug in to it for KNotes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-01-30 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Fixed one nasty random crash thanks to vanRijn, probably fixed
|
|
the KNotes HHtoPC problem, tagged 4.4.7, released it. This
|
|
is the last version to support KDE 3.2 at all, since KDE PIM
|
|
moved to KDE 3.3 ages ago and KDE 3.4 is at the door.
|
|
|
|
2005-01-12 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Made KNotes conduit work when KNotes is embedded in kontact, too.
|
|
* One branch of the check-username code wasn't setting the username properly.
|
|
* More debugging niftiness, major NO_CAST cleanup.
|
|
* Fixed sysinfo conduit, which didn't read its config file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-01-11 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Added a workaround for buggy Zire USB behavior. It works most of the time.
|
|
* Fixed memory leak when reading AppInfo.
|
|
* Updated website with some more OS-specific information. As always, I am
|
|
in dire need of workable explanations for OS (usually Linux-distro)
|
|
specific quirks.
|
|
* Worked on debugging output a little, normalized more output.
|
|
* Verified that copy PC to HH works on Addressbook, ToDo, Calendar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-01-05 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Pilot-link 0.12, when it comes out, is source incompatible with 0.11,
|
|
but KPilot is already ported to it.
|
|
* Fixed up silly conflict resolution question in the datebook, but
|
|
really it needs the field-by-field resolution that the addressbook has.
|
|
* In KPilotDeviceLink, move around check for unconfigured device to
|
|
notice earlier, before doing any work. Minor coding style fixes.
|
|
* Revamped debugging (again) so it's now much more 7 * 191; the call trace
|
|
is pretty readable now.
|
|
|
|
2004-12-27 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Quitting and having the daemon go with you works now.
|
|
|
|
2004-12-07 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Tried to make conduit descriptions more consistent. Remember: "handheld",
|
|
not "Pilot". Removed ugly const_cast. Added depth indication to the
|
|
call trace -- this is a pretty big change, it makes the output from
|
|
kpilot with --debug 1 more tree-ish, so it's easier to see what is being
|
|
called from where.
|
|
|
|
2004-12-06 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Imported memofile from vanRijn.
|
|
|
|
2004-11-30 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Having a second child .. puts a dent in development time.
|
|
* Make the daemon's next-sync match the one in KPilot, added tooltips
|
|
and whatsthis. Make the daemon tell KPilot what the next sync is,
|
|
so that changes from the tray menu are visible. This removes some strings.
|
|
|
|
2004-11-29 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Waiting for second child .. puts a dent in development time too.
|
|
* Ported KPilot to pilot-link 0.12 (unreleased) which adds support
|
|
for newer devices and saves memory in the process.
|
|
* Data-loss on restore bug fixed by Will Stephenson.
|
|
|
|
2004-11-23 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Squashed several silly bugs in wizard and startup code.
|
|
|
|
2004-11-17 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Hiatus in KPilot due to working upstream on pilot-link.
|
|
* Patches from Olivier, merci.
|
|
|
|
2004-10-11 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Made an actual CVS tag for KPilot, kpilot_4_4_6. Uploaded new 4.4.6
|
|
tarballs. Updated the site. Posted more developer's notes.
|
|
* Added initial encoding-selection boxes to the doc conduit, to indicate
|
|
that the input text files are not UTF-8 but something else.
|
|
* Started revamping PilotLocalDatabase so we can get rid of the must-
|
|
sync-to-delete-new-(memo|address|whatever) in the internal viewers.
|
|
* All the bugs in the database really need a "can you check this again"?
|
|
added. Till Adam has been messing with recent code and is reporting
|
|
new crashes and bugs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-10-07 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Started adding encoding support to PalmDOC conduit dialogs. Not
|
|
sure how to proceed there.
|
|
* Closed some more bugs, generally confused about some of the bugs
|
|
remaining in the database -- I need cooperation from the folks
|
|
reporting the bugs.
|
|
* Went on a str*cpy() hunt to avoid bad copies; converted most to
|
|
strlcpy(). Not the ones in the docconduit, though, since there,
|
|
the strncpy()s go to a data structure that doesn't necessarily
|
|
expect NUL termination (note to self: need to check that _extracting_
|
|
data from the structure doesn't rely on NUL).
|
|
|
|
2004-10-05 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* I wonder if the codec() stuff shouldn't move from the PilotAppCategory
|
|
to the device link -- after all, it's the _device_ that knows what
|
|
the encoding is (who knows, maybe future versions of Pilots will be
|
|
able to tell th desktop this).
|
|
* Added a localBackup action, so we can make ~ backup files of all the
|
|
database files before doing a sync, just in case.
|
|
* Merged lots of bugs.
|
|
* Found out that KPilot uses title instead of prefix for the honorific
|
|
titles in the addressbook - this means KPilot and KAddressbook got
|
|
out of sync. Fixed.
|
|
* New questionYesNoCancel() didn't return correct button codes.
|
|
* Checked all the codec stuff, added some in relevant places but can't
|
|
spot any addressbook fields that are not synced.
|
|
|
|
2004-10-04 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Bail if the Pilot disconnects, but only between conduits. Conduits
|
|
themselves should still check for disconnect.
|
|
* Bug maintainence turned up a useful patch for category support
|
|
in the calendar.
|
|
|
|
2004-10-01 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Merged nice patch from Adrian S for HotPlug.
|
|
* Moved tickle stuff into a separate thread, so that it doesn't
|
|
require a Qt event loop to keep the Pilot awake.
|
|
* Added tickles in the right (?) places in the abbrowser - around
|
|
the loading part.
|
|
* Discovered that UserCheck used KMessageBox::question*() instead of
|
|
a version with timeouts. Fixed that by adding a qYNCancel() to
|
|
InteractiveSync, and updated both qYN*() methods there to use
|
|
KDE 3.3 KMessageBox support.
|
|
* Merged InteractiveAction with SyncAction, cleaning up the inheritance
|
|
tree and making it possible to conduits to use the question* methods.
|
|
|
|
2004-09-26 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Put up new tarballs on kpilot.org.
|
|
* Patched up the KNotes conduit a little - notes listed as modified
|
|
but unknown to the Pilot are now added as new.
|
|
* Bumped version to 4.4.5. Polished the splash a little.
|
|
* Fixed 71122, finally. There wasn't any code at all in the conduit
|
|
for deleting memos.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-09-22 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Added some cheap RTTI to PilotDatabase, so you can call
|
|
dbType() to find out if it's really a local or a serial DB.
|
|
* Stared at the doc conduit for a long time. Did whitespace first.
|
|
|
|
2004-09-18 Adriaan de Groot & Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Deprecated a bunch of poorly-named functions in lib/, and
|
|
moved everything to the new names. Finally, no more getCat(),
|
|
but just category().
|
|
* Detect special case of bad resource headers in file installer.
|
|
* Rearranged sync enum just a little. Moved eTest out of the way,
|
|
since it's not really a valid value to pass to the demon and made
|
|
0 the value to indicate "default, whatever is stored in the
|
|
config file".
|
|
* Fixed up sync-type not honored, clarified next-sync menu (I
|
|
think so, didn't ask -usability about it though).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-08-16 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Was away at a summer school for two weeks. Got no KPilot stuff
|
|
done except an off-by-one bug in the memo stuff.
|
|
* Split the CopyHHtoPC code out in the knotes conduit,
|
|
ready for QThreading (maybe).
|
|
|
|
2004-07-27 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* MAL conduit proxy password not loaded properly. Reported by
|
|
Olivier D.
|
|
* Clean out ancient cruft in fileInstaller.{h,cc}. Run file installer
|
|
twice, to allow conduits to create files to install. Determine
|
|
list of files at ::exec() time, not at object creation time.
|
|
* Added some docs to the conduit configure.in.in.
|
|
* Give PERL conduit more information to work with.
|
|
|
|
2004-07-19 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* In kontact, if the daemon gets started it shouldn't complain loudly
|
|
about messed-up configurations.
|
|
|
|
2004-07-14 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Joyeux quatorze juillet! Spent most of the past week totally ignoring
|
|
KPilot, working on personal websites, KDE-FreeBSD, and porting
|
|
k3b to FreeBSD (breaking it on Linux only briefly).
|
|
|
|
2004-06-29 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Fix the bug that todos that were marked finished on the handheld
|
|
lost that state when synced to the PC.
|
|
* A few layout adjustments for the perl/python conduits (QTextEdit
|
|
instead of QLineEdit)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-06-29 Joern Ahrens
|
|
* Corrected the behavior of the configuration dialog, when the
|
|
screensaver option is changed.
|
|
* Moved the tickle code from InteractiveAction to SyncAction.
|
|
Now it can be used in ConduitAction subclasses as well.
|
|
* Ahh, got Adriaans m100, now I'm able to test without destroying
|
|
my data on the palm. Thanks Adriaan !
|
|
|
|
2004-06-27 Joern Ahrens
|
|
* Filled the notepad conduit with life. The notepads are saved as png
|
|
files in a configurable directory.
|
|
|
|
2004-06-21 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Disable editor buttons when 'internal editors' is disabled (Carlos)
|
|
and fix up the tooltips when they are disabled. Also update some
|
|
copyright lines. Work on the docs.
|
|
|
|
2004-06-16 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Disposed of foolish file installer bug. Updated tarballs on website
|
|
before fixing it, so now we're stuck :) Looked at 71122 again,
|
|
testing with my m500.
|
|
* Corrected finaly layout problems in some conduit config pages.
|
|
|
|
2004-06-10 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Much delay in getting back to work on KPilot, even after a new mobo
|
|
arrived for my primary devel system. Useful patches were received
|
|
in the meantime, and commited by Joern. Olivier D. has started
|
|
improving the MAL conduit, wrt. proxy and password support.
|
|
|
|
2004-06-02 Joern Ahrens
|
|
* Improved the wizards whatsthis text, thanks to David Bishop
|
|
|
|
2004-05-30 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Handle first-time startups more gracefully by just running configure or
|
|
the config wizard. Better reporting of non-running daemon. Fix some
|
|
copyright headers. Add icons to next-sync menu in daemon.
|
|
|
|
2004-05-28 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Make the tarballs available on the site; still no resolution for
|
|
memo bug, or timezone bug. Change strings in the applications to
|
|
point ot the new kpilot.org.
|
|
|
|
2004-05-20 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Tested new tarballs for 4.4.3, and they seem ok. Put their md5s up on the
|
|
website. Note that the memos-not-deleted-on-palm bug still exists, as
|
|
do 60 others by last count.
|
|
|
|
2004-05-16 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Put up the new KPilot.org website.
|
|
* Updated docs about net: syncing, thanks to Miles Sabin.
|
|
* Patch from Joern probably closes 4 bugs at once.
|
|
|
|
2004-05-11 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Deprecated the JPilotProxy and expenses conduits, moved to nonbeta.
|
|
|
|
2004-05-07 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* PilotDatabase was a QObject. I wonder why, it didn't have signals or slots.
|
|
* PilotDatabase creation and destruction is now tracked (counted, at least,
|
|
so you can see if there's a leak there).
|
|
|
|
2004-04-30 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Vrolijke koninginnedag!
|
|
* Finally updated the site some.
|
|
* Removed deprecated files, started using KDevelop, fixed random stuff.
|
|
|
|
2004-04-28 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* [kpilotConfigDialog] Added UI for screenlockSecure option. Docs, too.
|
|
* [kpilot] Changed hotSync button to one with a little dropdown
|
|
menu, thanks to Joern. [kpilotConfig] String fix for outdated config.
|
|
[probeDialog] Fixed up comments. [hotSync] Normalized debugging output.
|
|
[pilotDaemon] Fixed backwards logic.
|
|
|
|
2004-04-26 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* [kpilot.kcfg] Added [a68k] as default skip in the database list.
|
|
* [pilotDaemon] Use standard names for sync actions. Queue sorry
|
|
when sync type is bad.
|
|
* [hotSync] Change signature of backup action, lose the confusing
|
|
int mode parameter.
|
|
* [syncStack] Took out the mode stuff, replaced with SyncAction::SyncMode.
|
|
This simplified a lot of things, actually. Removed extra changed-PC check
|
|
in ConduitProxy, on the assumption this is already checked elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
2004-04-21 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* [hotSync] Made skip-database work properly, with wildcard support
|
|
and proper checking again, so you can now backup your Pilot and
|
|
specify that FATFS and *a68k can be skipped. Even did docs for it.
|
|
* [syncAction] Added function to return standard names for the
|
|
(enum) sync actions.
|
|
|
|
2004-04-19 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Cleaned up header comments, copyrights, body comments, indentation,
|
|
brace style, and unused code in all kinds of files. Normalized use of
|
|
magic constant 0xffff in PilotRecord::APP_BUFFER_SIZE. Removed
|
|
some * in char *buffer[] where char buffer[] was meant, reducing KPilot's
|
|
stack memory usage there by a factor of 4 or more.
|
|
* Patch from Joern Ahrens to close another Bugzilla bug.
|
|
|
|
2004-04-18 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Finish the autodetection of the handheld for the wizard. You *CAN* pi_bind
|
|
to multiple devices, so I just create a bunch of device links and wait for
|
|
connected signals... This also means we can get rid of page one of the wizard.
|
|
There is one problem left: If /dev/pilot or so is a symlink to a real device,
|
|
a connection on /dev/pilot and the actual device will be detected, and kpilot
|
|
will lock up. I guess I'll have to keep a (static) QStringList of real devices
|
|
we are bound to in KPilotDeviceLink and disallow binding to the same real
|
|
device again.
|
|
|
|
2004-04-18 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Default debug_level to 0, so it doesn't print the call trace, but just the
|
|
(sometimes) useful debug output; use --debug 1 to print the call trace.
|
|
* [pilotDaemon] Add more useful warning output when conversation with screen-
|
|
saver fails. Add human-friendly way to request a specific sync type.
|
|
Factor out a whole lot in the startHotSync() to clear up the actual logic.
|
|
* Massive damage inflicted to factor out the one set of sync-enums and
|
|
use them everywhere, while cleaning up the setup-sync logic too.
|
|
Remove leading 'e' from enum type names (not the elements).
|
|
|
|
2004-04-16 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Fixed double dialog when cancelling a change in the selection in the config
|
|
dialog. Took patch from Joern to fix resize problem in abbrowser resolution
|
|
dialog. Minor constructor mod in pilotMemo.h, and a much more nasty problem
|
|
in pilotMemo.cc, which seems to use a wrong memo length. Added some
|
|
docs. Removed a warning in addressWidget.cc.
|
|
* [conduitConfigWizard] Can't assign copyright except in writing, and even then
|
|
in the EU you can't renounce your copyright. Added a "None" sync setting,
|
|
for the use-case described on 4-11.
|
|
|
|
2004-04-11 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3. Let's look at a use case: someone who doesn't want
|
|
to sync his or her palm with KDE apps, but does want a convenient application
|
|
to install files and keep a backup of their palm. How can they use KPilot?
|
|
Well, uncheck all the conduits except install files, set the daemon to auto-start,
|
|
and do nothing more than drop the pilot inthe cradle occasionally and hit the
|
|
HotSync button. Use kpilot's viewers to check the state of the backup.
|
|
* [conduitConfigDialog] Use the CE macro for general config pages. Tighten typing
|
|
on handleGeneralPages. Add names to the viewers tabs. Make unsaved-changes
|
|
message make sense.
|
|
|
|
2004-04-11 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Fix the codec handling to use KGlobal::charsets.
|
|
* Implemented the startListening and stopListening methods of the daemon.
|
|
* Fixed the config dialog so that just showing a conduit's config widget
|
|
doesn't trigger the modified signal.
|
|
* Some cleanup in the daemon
|
|
|
|
2004-04-10 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Split kpilot's configuration into several files, one for each conduit.
|
|
Also wrote a kconf_update script so the old settings are preserved.
|
|
We still need to sort out the remaining settings written to kpilotrc.
|
|
* Corrected all path variables in the .kcfg files from type String to Path
|
|
* The configuration wizard now also sets the conduits' settings to sensitive
|
|
defaults for the chosen application (kde pim, kontact, evolution)
|
|
|
|
2004-04-10 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Move about in config dialog to sensible spot. Follow suggestions by Carlos
|
|
to simplify the config dialog a bit. Default general setup to open, even
|
|
if the message says it it for esoteric stuff.
|
|
|
|
2004-04-09 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Work on docs. Accept patch from Joern for broken config in abbrowser
|
|
conduit. Receive docs patches from Carlos.
|
|
|
|
2004-04-05 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Work on the Kontact plugin for KPilot, make daemon's installedConduits
|
|
DCOP call return human-readable names instead of internal stuff.
|
|
|
|
2004-04-04 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Split out the general settings pages so that no tab widgets are
|
|
needed. Joern's title patch for those pages made the tabs weird
|
|
anyway, and now things are consistent, at least. We could move
|
|
the backup page to "Actions", if we want.
|
|
|
|
2004-04-01 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Happy birthday to Mira, who has now managed to watch a whole
|
|
year of KPilot development, and has learned to sit up and say
|
|
"aya!" appreciatively when Daddy fixes a bug. Or something.
|
|
|
|
2004-03-28 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Added a "reset daemon" button. Added whatsthis help to toolbar.
|
|
* Added a "suppress confirm" option to the notes conduit, partly
|
|
for 71122.
|
|
* Suppressed some more warnings. Fixed little buglets. Put off
|
|
testing 71122 as long as possible.
|
|
|
|
2004-03-26 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Another day, another fix from Joern.
|
|
* Backported the fix for backup settings being ignored from Sebastian V.
|
|
(Actually, just used his original patch, which didn't use kcfgXT.
|
|
* Prevent sync when screen locked, as a security measure.
|
|
* Still haven't tested 69595 or 71122. Ugh.
|
|
|
|
2004-03-24 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* 71122 has been top of the list for over a week - not getting around to
|
|
it at all. Fixes elsewhere; working on getting a Linux machine up and
|
|
running to be able to run POSE with a null-modem pseudo-device.
|
|
* Another patch from Joern; arr, it's a learning experience!
|
|
* Removed logging weirdness in the fileinstall action.
|
|
|
|
2004-03-19 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Discovered that the daemon's DCOP interface disappears after one
|
|
HotSync. Man, that's weird. Removed QString(CSL1()) constructs -
|
|
CSL1() returns a QString already. Using DCOPClient::attach() in
|
|
the pop conduit is a really bad idea!
|
|
* Picked bug 72251 to work on tonight. Closed another one related to
|
|
settings not propagating properly as well.
|
|
* Minor cleanup in the log on the pilot, get conduits to start on new lines.
|
|
Use correct name for icon. Handle FastSync correctly, don't queue all
|
|
the extra checks for it based on the sync settings (or do we want to
|
|
deprecate fastsync as a fNextSyncMode entirely?). At end of sync
|
|
reset next sync to normal.
|
|
|
|
2004-03-17 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Implemented a first version of the config wizard. The code to autodetect
|
|
the device is not yet finished, though.
|
|
* Extended the daemon DCOP interface to stop listening and start listening
|
|
on the configured device (needed e.g. if some other application wants to
|
|
bind to that device for some time, like the autodetect dialog needs to).
|
|
Here, also the code for really (de-)attaching to the device is not there
|
|
yet, just the interface to the functions.
|
|
|
|
2004-03-17 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Ripped out all the dead and broken and useless code in the mail
|
|
conduit, fixed up the code that was left, reduced the size of the
|
|
setup dialog, and ended up with something that actually works again.
|
|
Fixed bugs 60579 and 77948.
|
|
* Yet another patch from Joern, added him to credits, too.
|
|
|
|
2004-03-15 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Patches from David Mott and Joern Ahrens today. Excellent!
|
|
* Worked on the docs and website some.
|
|
|
|
2004-03-14 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Make sure the config is really read in in the vcal conduit's setup dlg.
|
|
* also the conduit version number of the vcal conduit needs to be really
|
|
written to the cfg file to make sure categories are really synced. So far,
|
|
the version number was not written to the config, which resulted in a full
|
|
sync every time!
|
|
|
|
2004-03-13 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Stared at the screen for a while trying to think of how to test syncing
|
|
with my spare m100 without breaking my existing stuff from my m500.
|
|
And I realize that it means I need a second monitor and to run X dual-head.
|
|
* Some minor rearrangements in the config dialog again.
|
|
* Added configuration widget to perl conduit.
|
|
|
|
2004-03-12 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Received patches from Joern Ahrens and Sebastian Voitzsch for
|
|
various issues. Thanks guys! It's contributions like this that
|
|
really inspire me to keep working on KPilot. Reinhold and I can't
|
|
do everything by ourselves.
|
|
* There will be tarballs of KPilot 4.4.2 soon; this will make it
|
|
possible to get the bugfixes from Joern and Sebastian - and others -
|
|
on your system now without waiting for another KDE release.
|
|
|
|
2004-03-08 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Ported all conduits' setup dialog to the new style and remove all old code
|
|
* First steps for the config wizard.
|
|
* Updated the malconduit to work with libmal 0.4, too (using configure
|
|
checks, as the code is source-incompatible)
|
|
* Moved the kpilot config page to the correct place in the kontact
|
|
setup dlg hierarchy
|
|
* Fixed a crash in the old-style conduits' setup code (widget was removed
|
|
in favor of some other, but code still tried to access it)
|
|
|
|
2004-03-08 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Wow, lots of activity by Reinhold. I hope he updates the ChangeLog
|
|
sometime as well.
|
|
* Revert the variable timeout, just do a straight 5 second wait, that
|
|
should just fix it, and save us a lot of trouble too. Anyway, who
|
|
wants to sync again within 5 seconds of the previous one finishing?
|
|
It's just as well that the value wasn't saved anywhere anyway.
|
|
|
|
2004-03-05 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Spent most of the day putting together new tarballs, so I can push
|
|
KPilot improvements out the door again when needed.
|
|
|
|
2004-03-02 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Add a variable timeout after the sync, specially for some T3 users.
|
|
Thanks to Alec Mitchell for pointing that out and providing an initial patch.
|
|
|
|
2004-02-25 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* In the KNotes conduit: Coding style fixes. Cleanup doubled strings.
|
|
Improved status reporting. Probably dealt with the memo viewer issue.
|
|
* Imported another patch from David Mott, for drag-n-drop file install.
|
|
* Added a config option and UI for running conduits during a backup.
|
|
Default to not, in order to fix bug 7xxxx.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-02-21 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* At FOSDEM, not much hacking was done, but it was fun and boozy.
|
|
|
|
2004-02-03 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* I see lots of spelling fixes have been introduced in HEAD. Thanks, TLs.
|
|
* Plans for a photo conduit (Zire71) and a NotePad conduit are forming.
|
|
pilot-link has the relevant code already, it just needs to be fit
|
|
into KPilot's form.
|
|
* Worked on the KNotes conduit some more. Remember to update the
|
|
local database copy, and non-CopyHHtoPC code needs work.
|
|
|
|
2004-01-31 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Finished up the KNotes conduit, I think. The copy to PC part was
|
|
a little over-enthusiastic.
|
|
|
|
2004-01-25 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Fixed up copyright notices here and there. Dan is listed as copyright
|
|
holder in lots of files he's never worked on; since copyright cannot
|
|
be assigned except in writing, I'm going to have to take responsibility
|
|
for my parts.
|
|
* Fixed up conduit modes in kpilotTest.
|
|
* Removed compile warnings in the vcal conduit.
|
|
* Moved 72342 to top of list, since now I got HHtoPC copy
|
|
working in kpilotTest I can actually _see_ the bug. It seems to be in
|
|
PilotMemo.
|
|
|
|
2004-01-20 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Added experimental A-A-P build system.
|
|
* Cleanups in conduit config, added stub buttons for wizards.
|
|
|
|
2004-01-16 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* De-tabified ChangeLog again.
|
|
* Updated version. Hope that \374 makes sense (it's a ü).
|
|
* Added explanation for "Actions" page in config. Ditto for "Conduits".
|
|
Prevent user from collapsing the tree.
|
|
* Fixup layout for popmail conduit when including it in the config dialog.
|
|
* Experimental stab at separating the config into separate bits in the
|
|
new KCM config dialog.
|
|
|
|
2004-01-02 - 2004-01-11 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* This was work done in osnabrueck_branch, at the 2004 kdepim meeting
|
|
and the week afterwards. This issue is one of the feature targets
|
|
for the kdepim 3.3 release in Q1 2004.
|
|
* Moved the general setup dialog from a separate dialog to a page of
|
|
the conduit config dlg. Combined the kpilot setup and conduit config
|
|
dialog to one dialog.
|
|
* Implemented the kontact plugin for KPilot (showing status information)
|
|
* Added three DCOP functions to the daemon for querying status information
|
|
* Hotsync log is written out to a file (~/.kde/share/apps/kpilot/lastsync.log)
|
|
* Converted all conduits to KConfig XT (mail und kroupware still missing)
|
|
* Converted the config dialog to a KCM module
|
|
* KPilot plugin for contact: shows status in summary and makes config available
|
|
* kpilotDaemon sends a DCOP signal when its settings/state are changed
|
|
* New DCOP functions in the daemon to query its state and settings
|
|
* the kontact plugin also detects if the daemon is quit
|
|
* Use a QSplitter in the config dialog instead of the QHBox layout
|
|
* implemented the kconf_update scripts to move groupless entries to the
|
|
[General] group
|
|
* Still missing:
|
|
o) KConfig sync between the three processes working on the
|
|
kpilot config: kpilot, kpilotDaemon and possibly kontact
|
|
with the kpilot plugin
|
|
o) Wizard to setup kpilot correctly for kontact (the defaults
|
|
should suffice, just in case someone played around and
|

messed them up)

2004-01-02 - 2004-01-04 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* This was work done in osnabrueck_branch, at the 2004 kdepim meeting.
|
|
* Fixed the TODO_I18N -> they're all i18n() now.
|
|
* Discovered ttypatch, which is da bong. Thanks to Dan Clemmensen
|
|
for writing it, and Bernhard Reiter for showing it to me. All of
|
|
a sudden, POSE actually looks usable.
|
|
|
|
2004-01-02 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Non-functional commits all over; split off osnabrueck_branch.
|
|
* Naming changes in todo conduit.
|
|
* Fix sync race in knotes conduit.
|
|
|
|
2003-12-29 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Reenabled the popmail conduit, but in severely limited form.
|
|
|
|
2003-12-28 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Committed the knotes stuff, since it does do HH->PC properly. OTOH,
|
|
I don't think the mode code is right in that conduit either.
|
|
* Stared at various bugs that I can't reproduce.
|
|
* Looked into #69987, changed some names in the todo conduit.
|
|
* Changed the parts of the changelog to real changelog format
|
|
(dates must be yyyy-mm-dd, with leading zeroes if needed).
|
|
|
|
2003-12-23 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Added recent hardware reports. If you reported something and I've
|
|
forgotten it, please send me a gentle reminder.
|
|
* Added IrDA howto from Stuart, who failed to provide an email
|
|
address that I can respond to.
|
|
* I think I got the KNotes conduit working again, but it needs some
|
|
testing so that change hasn't been committed yet.
|
|
|
|
2003-12-12 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Reduce warnings in vcalconduit.
|
|
|
|
2003-12-10 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Fix for #66321 - fill in a default value for the vcal file.
|
|
|
|
2003-12-05 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Het heerlijk avondje is gekomen. Damn right it is.
|
|
|
|
2003-12-02 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Removed #if 0'ed code; moved some deprecated code to #if 0; removed
|
|
use of deprecated stuff. Fixed up includes.
|
|
|
|
2003-11-23 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Minor string fixups that don't affect TL.
|
|
|
|
2003-11-22 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Fixed the broken conduit config dialog (wasn't able to show config
|
|
widgets of more than one conduit. If you configured one conduit, and
|
|
switched to another, its config widget couldn't be added to the stack).
|
|
* Configure conduits dialog now has an apply button.
|
|
|
|
2003-10-21 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Updated the website some with lots of new hardware. Thanks to
|
|
everyone who reported new stuff.
|
|
|
|
2003-10-10 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Sure, we let the ChangeLog slide, but didn't do much, I don't
|
|
think, over the summer. Main point is that AAP can pretty much
|
|
build KPilot now, suck to be auto* and make.
|
|
|
|
2003-07-30 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* The addressbook conduit now uses a different algorithm to find
|
|
the type of address on the PC to sync with.
|
|
First, if there is a preferred address (no matter if home, work
|
|
or whatever), this one is synced to the handheld. If no preferred
|
|
address exists, either home or work (depending on the setting in
|
|
the conduit config dialog) is used for the sync. If that doesn't
|
|
exist, either, the other one (work/home) is tried. If that also
|
|
doesn't exist, and the address is copied to the PC, its type is
|
|
set to preferred+the setting from the config dialog.
|
|
This fixes both bugs #50560 (conduit should sync with preferred
|
|
address) as well as bug #60659 (conduit should use the existing
|
|
address from the PC, even if the type is not the one chosen in
|
|
the config dialog). (also backported to BRANCH)
|
|
* Allow two addressbook entries with the same name and organization,
|
|
but different phones, addresses etc. Actually, it allows entries
|
|
which are equal up to at least one entry. This fixes bug #59569.
|
|
* Fixed bug #60691 where events recurring monthly on a given weekday
|
|
were shifted by one day. (also backported to BRANCH)
|
|
* Also, when initializing a LocalCalendar, you are not supposed
|
|
to give a time zone...
|
|
* Also, fixed infinite loop glitch by Cornelius.
|
|
* If the user chose to sync to an iCalendar file instead of the
|
|
standard (resource) calendar, and he gave an empty or invalid
|
|
file name, an error message is now written out to inform him/her
|
|
about the problem.
|
|
I don't want to ask him for a file name, because one of the
|
|
guidelines of conduit development is that a sync should be able
|
|
to run without user intervention.
|
|
this should probably also be backported, but it introduces two
|
|
new i18n strings, so it is not possible. Thus the bug will remain
|
|
in 3.1 branch.
|
|
* Fixed the toolbar configuration.
|
|
|
|
2003-07-27 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* The internal editor action now displays the contents of the conflicting
|
|
records and lets the user decide which one overrides (Fixes bug #61103).
|
|
* For this I added a function getTextRepresentation(bool richText) to
|
|
PilotAppCategory, PilotAddress, PilotMemo, PilotDateEnty and PilotTodoEnty,
|
|
which returns the contents of the record as a string that can be displayed
|
|
to the user. Moved that code from the internal viewers to the classes.
|
|
* If there is no nice-text representation, I now use KHE::KHexEdit to
|
|
show the raw contents, so the user gets an idea of the conflicting records.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-07-26 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Time flies when you're having fun and mucking with other
|
|
bits of KDE. Worked on meinproc, build fixes, dependencies, etc.
|
|
|
|
2003-07-26 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Changed a few accelerators (duplicates reported by Dr.Klash)
|
|
* Also show items marked as deleted in the GenericDB viewer.
|
|
* All conduits now have their own copy of the handheld's database
|
|
in $KDEHOME/share/apps/kpilot/conduits/UserName/*.pdb. This was
|
|
needed so that backup runs don't break the conduit's algorithm to
|
|
detect changed records on the PC. So far, we compared each entry
|
|
to the corresponding entry in the backup database. It that changed,
|
|
basically we are screwed.
|
|
For this new feature I extended the constructur of PilotLocalDatabase
|
|
to take an additional boolean parameter useConduitDBs. If that is set,
|
|
the db will be opened in ..../conduits/Username/
|
|
* Do not return "Unfiled" or "Nicht abgelegt" as category label
|
|
if no category is set. Instead return an empty string.
|
|
* Added isArchived() and makeArchived() methods to PilotAppCategory
|
|
to set the dlpRecArchived flag.
|
|
* Changed the way how the DBBackup/username/ and conduits/username/
|
|
directories are created (now I'm using KStandardDirs::makeDir and
|
|
KStandardDirs::exists).
|
|
* FirstSync now also means PC->HH or HH->PC directions (which is clear
|
|
intuitively, as with these direction, nothing that's on the other
|
|
side should matter at all).
|
|
* Added eDelete to the sync actions in the SyncAction class
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-07-15 to 2003-7-26 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
Complete rewrite of the addressbook conduit (for the, umhh, third(?) time).
|
|
* NEW FEATURE: custom fields can now also be synced with
|
|
birth date, URL, ICQ, etc. (bug #50871)
|
|
* Conflict resolution shows the whole conflicting item
|
|
and all conflicting fields (so far, every conflicting
|
|
field was shown on its own, bug #59222). The conflict
|
|
resolution is done completely independent from the addressee
|
|
object and might so be reused later in other conduits as well.
|
|
* Separated the mechanism to detect changes from the mechanism
|
|
to sync/merge addressees. This makes the whole thing a lot
|
|
easier to understand and maintain, and there are far less
|
|
cases you have to consider.
|
|
* the conduit now obeys the global conflict resolution (ask,
|
|
PC overrides, HH overrides, last sync overrides, duplicate)
|
|
and sync direction (fast, full, only PC->HH, only HH->PC)
|
|
settings. Bug #59220.
|
|
* The "only HH->PC" and "only PC->HH" sync directions first
|
|
copy all existing entries to the receiving end, and only then
|
|
remove all other entries from there. This avoids data loss if
|
|
the connection breaks while such a special sync is running.
|
|
* Added a crash handler to clean up the addressbook if the
|
|
conduit crashes.
|
|
|
|
2003-07-11 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Records in the PilotLocalDatabase with ID 0 (i.e. new records
|
|
added by KPilot's internal editors) will always be treated as
|
|
modified records and found by readNextModifiedRecord, even if
|
|
they don't have the dirty flag set. This ensures that all new
|
|
records from KPilot will be added to the handheld
|
|
* Finished the internal todo editor:
|
|
Entries can be maked completed and edited directly in the check
|
|
list view.
|
|
Moved the editor dialog to a designer ui file instead of a
|
|
manually created layout
|
|
* Finished the sync action that copies the changes done in the
|
|
internal editors of KPilot to the handheld. So, finally, the
|
|
internal viewers/editors of KPilot are working again, unlike
|
|
the last few years, where they were in a terribly broken state.
|
|
|
|
2003-06-01 to 2003-7-10 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* I was busy with a lot of stuff from KPilot, none of which is actually
|
|
in a state where I can commit it. In particular, I'm working on
|
|
-) Custom field sync of the addressbook conduit
|
|
-) Make the conflict resolution of the abook conduit more
|
|
intuitive (ask just once for each conflicting address)
|
|
-) Finish up the todo editor
|
|
-) Make the generic DB viewer an editor (more or less finished,
|
|
but the KHexEdit widget is not yet publically available, so
|
|
I can't commit that part either)
|
|
-) Implement the InternalEditorAction which syncs the changes
|
|
done in the internal editors/viewers to the handheld
|
|
|

KPilot Developer's notes for July 9th
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
2003-7-9 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Ditched spurious code in KNotes conduit config. Updated copyrights,
|
|
still assigned to Dan. Updated the notes interface stubs.
|
|
|
|
2003-7-7 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Added a conduit description to PalmDOC. Well, fixed the "Conduit"
|
|
vs. "Comment" typo in the .desktop file.
|
|
|
|
2003-7-6 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Made the bugreport and question and help links in the about pages
|
|
clickable through KActiveLabel. Made the credits text scrollable
|
|
with a QTextEdit.
|
|
* Weird redraw bugs reappear in the conduit config dialog, fixed again.
|
|
* Added sorryVersionOutdated() to KPilotConfig to notify user that
|
|
the configs are old, and telling what's changed. Used in kpilot and
|
|
the daemon. Includes cleanup. Use getDebugLevel() properly.
|
|
|
|
2003-7-5 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Upped the config version number to 440.
|
|
* Worked on the docs (really!), so the HEAD docs now reflect _some_ of
|
|
the reality of KPilot 4.4.0. Noted lots of inconsistencies.
|
|
Put in lots of TODO's, and the whole thing needs going over.
|
|
* Using the trademark HotSync in the GUI might not be a good idea.
|
|
Removed where I could, added a trademark reference in the about pages.
|
|
|
|
2003-7-5 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Renamed all conduit plugins from lib<bla>conduit (and variants) to
|
|
conduit_<bla>, so that they're easier to identify in $KDEDIR/lib/trinity.
|
|
Of course, this doesn't work right. Feh.
|
|
* Removed listCat again.
|
|
* Implemented a notion of "internal conduit", so that we can move
|
|
the "install files" and "kroupware" stuff to the conduit config
|
|
dialog and out of the general stuff, where it looks weird.
|
|
|
|
2003-7-4 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Removed the words "KPilot", "KDE" and "Conduit" from all the conduit names.
|
|
* Removed double logging in NULL conduit, added message for explicit fail.
|
|
Use the generic config dialog implementation. I see now that the NULL
|
|
conduit isn't built or installed anymore. Fixed its .desktop comment.
|
|
* Disabled the expenses and popmail conduit from compiling.
|
|
* Made new-style config for the vcal conduit. Made new-style config for the
|
|
todo conduit. Stripped out lots of extra #includes. Stripped out extra
|
|
Q_OBJECT macros. Reduced space in widget some. Fixed void return 0;
|
|
Fixed improper AboutData in todo conduit.
|
|
* New-style for abbrowser. Minor == vs = mixup.
|
|
* Shrunk margin for kpilot config dialog. Use the available charsets from
|
|
KDE instead of our own list. Added a quit-after-sync option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-6-29 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Added some code validation support to plugin.h
|
|
* Messed about with popmail's config. What was the firewall stuff for?
|
|
Created new-style configs, didn't complete the load/save code, and
|
|
then sortof gave up because is there really any point to doing this
|
|
conduit without switching to the SMTP ioslave? And using identities
|
|
then?
|
|
|
|
2003-6-26 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Removed stupid comment in popmail/Makefile.am
|
|
|
|
2003-6-25 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Be consistent about naming the sysinfo conduit "System Information"
|
|
in user-visible strings.
|
|
* Remove "conduit" from the name of the Palm DOC conduit, and add a
|
|
new-style config panel to it. Made it resize properly.
|
|
* Note that ConduitConfigBase::load() and its overrides should set
|
|
fModified to false.
|
|
|
|
2003-6-22 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Turn off NO_CAST_ASCII when doing DEBUG_CERR, because ostream is
|
|
lacking an operator << for QString. (Nicer is probably to add
|
|
such an operator, but hey.)
|
|
* Removed uselessly virtual conduitName() function from conduit classes.
|
|
No-one was overriding it anyway.
|
|
* The vcal and abbrowser conduits shouldn't be compiled if you're building
|
|
KPilot HEAD on older systems.
|
|
|
|
2003-6-21 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Fixed up the layout of the sysinfo conduit.
|
|
* Documented ConduitConfigBase::isModified() and made it virtual.
|
|
* Fixed up the sysinfo conduit and saving modified entries.
|
|
* Moved the --debug argument to all apps individually.
|
|
|
|
2003-6-20 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Updated the hardware lists on the website.
|
|
* Updated some "What's This?" texts.
|
|
* Removed evil static QStrings in kpilotConfigDialog.cc.
|
|
* Discovered that the "start at login" functionality has been broken forever.
|
|
* Added a workaround for KTimeWidget not present in KDE 3.1.x.
|
|
|
|
2003-6-20 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Implemented the dialog to change the database flags and the dates (DBInfo
|
|
struct) in the internal generic DB viewer. PilotLocalDatabase got a new
|
|
method setDBInfo for this.
|
|
* Implemented creating, editing and deleting records in the generic DB editor.
|
|
* Added the CHexViewWidget from khexedit to the kpilot/kpilot/ directory.
|
|
There are still several open issues with it (i.e. how do I set the data
|
|
at all???)
|
|
|
|
2003-6-19 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Implemented the list of records in the generic DB viewer. To be
|
|
able to sort the records by their index, I had to write my own
|
|
compare method of the QListViewItem, which compares the numerical
|
|
representation of the column entries. For large DBs (>300 records)
|
|
this is way too slow (QString::toULong for each comparison, increasing
|
|
with n*n), so I had to implement some caching. Now even large databases
|
|
are sorted very fast.
|
|
|
|
2003-6-16 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* First layout of the internal calendar viewer/editor. The KDatePicker
|
|
poses a big problem to me as it swallows all toolbar buttons.
|
|
* Implemented a InternalEditorAction to sync changes done to the databases
|
|
in the internal viewers. Every PilotComponent that changes a database
|
|
needs to mark it as dirty (e.g. markDBDirt("AddressDB")) so the
|
|
Action knows which databases need to be considered.
|
|
|
|
2003-6-15 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Implemented a first layout of the generic database viewer. To view
|
|
the records, I'd need a hex editor, which is not available in KDE, yet.
|
|
I tried using the widget that khexedit uses, but somehow I can't get
|
|
it to work :-((
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for June 15th, 2003
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
2003-6-15 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Yay, father's day. Which includes me. Mira drew me a wonderful card.
|
|
* Fixed some TL problems in debug output, and added documentation.
|
|
|
|
2003-6-14 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Fixed the conduit config dialog's repaint and behavior problems by
|
|
ditching the .ui file and implementing it by hand again. I'll look
|
|
into a switch back to .ui later.
|
|
|
|
2003-6-12 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Tracked down why the handheld crashes with Invalid UniqueID error
|
|
message (bugs #59313 and #51216). RecordIDs are supposed to be 3
|
|
bytes, and the handheld will crash if they are longer. For some
|
|
reason, several entries in the calendar or the addressbook were
|
|
assigned longer Record IDs, so I added a check for invalid values
|
|
before sending them to the handheld. This fixes the symptoms (i.e.
|
|
these crashes won't appear in the future again, and new valid ids
|
|
will be assigned), but there is still another bug that assigned
|
|
the wrong values in the first place...
|
|
|
|
2003-6-9 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Fixed crash from bug #59315. I used the value of a char as a char*,
|
|
in the code for extension cards in the sysinfo conduit. pilot-link
|
|
doesn't detect my Clie's memory stick as extension card so this code
|
|
was never executed on my machine, and I didn't detect the bug myself.
|
|
|
|
2003-6-1 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Fixed several (possible and really occurring) null pointer crashes
|
|
* Submited most of the items in our TODO list as bugs or wishes on
|
|
bugs.kde.org
|
|
|
|
2003-5-31 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Restructured the setup dialog of KPilot. Several per-conduit
|
|
settings were moved to global settings. The conduits now have
|
|
isFullSync(), isFirstSync(), getSyncDirection(), and
|
|
getConflictResolution() members for these settings. I think I fixed
|
|
all conduits to use these new settings and didn't miss anything.
|
|
* The Backup works again (fast sync doesn't do a backup, hot sync
|
|
does conduits and a fast backup, full sync does a full backup where
|
|
the modified flags are ignored). Also added a fast backup where
|
|
only modified records are retrieved.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-6-1 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* pilotComponent.cc Another fix for 52138 - I'd missed the category
|
|
drop-down box.
|
|
* Woo. After months of wrestling, I actually managed to run KPilotTest
|
|
and list the contents of my m500. Sometimes, there is something
|
|
to be said for Linux and a working USB stack. This means I have
|
|
limited testing hardware available again.
|
|
* Minor fixups to make HEAD compile with 3.1.x again.
|
|
|
|
2003-5-31 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Updated my build environment to HEAD. This will leave some people
|
|
in the dust, for sure, since 4.4.0 will thus have an address conduit
|
|
that requires HEAD, not 3.1.x. Perhaps we can ship two tarballs,
|
|
but that's going to start to be messy again.
|
|
* Talked to lioux about conduits and categories on IRC. It seems
|
|
that PC->Palm syncs usually respect categories and such, but Palm->PC
|
|
doesn't, among other little tidbits. He'll file bug reports.
|
|
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for May 30th, 2003
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
2003-5-30 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Spent this week at conferences (Mira at 8 weeks was the
|
|
youngest attendee of the EEF School on Formal Methods,
|
|
though I doubt she'll remember how to do protocol
|
|
verification in PVS).
|
|
|
|
2003-5-19 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* This weekend I wrote this new conduit for KPilot, called
|
|
sysinfoconduit. It writes all important Palm system information
|
|
to a text or html file. For an example, see
|
|
http://reinhold.kainhofer.com/Linux/KPilot/KPilotSysInfo.html.
|
|
The output is completely customizable via templates. Currently,
|
|
txt and html templates are available, but the user can provide
|
|
his/her own template in the conduit configuration dialog. The
|
|
current html template uses css for the markup, and passes the
|
|
w3c html validator without warnings.
|
|
Hopefully, the debug output section will help us kpilot developers
|
|
track down problems easier (the users can send us the output of
|
|
this conduit, and we can let it write out all important stuff we
|
|
need/want to see).
|
|
|
|
2003-5-11 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilotDCOP.h Changed enum values so that you can distinguish
|
|
between call failed and normal operation.
|
|
* conduitConfigDialog.cc When closing config dialog, release last
|
|
selected conduit.
|
|
|
|
2003-5-9 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Fixed up some config issues in the NULL conduit.
|
|
* Added conduitName() to conduit config things and their actions,
|
|
to provide a user-readable name for the conduit.
|
|
|
|
2003-5-5 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* plugin.{h,cc} Added a maybeSave() function for the new conduit config
|
|
style. Removed some unused variables.
|
|
* conduitConfigDialog.{h,cc} Using maybeSave() to save or cancel selection
|
|
changes.
|
|
|
|
2003-5-3 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Spent lots of time panicing my system and causing fatal exceptions
|
|
on my Pilot by playing with pilot-link 0.11.7 and FreeBSD's USB
|
|
stack.
|
|
* kpilotlink.cc Suppress printing the "accidentally in acceptDevice"
|
|
more than once. Try to escape from the infinite socketnotifier loop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-5-2 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Aiming for bi-weekly notes this month again.
|
|
* Looks like I reverted the PRETTY_FUNCTION printing.
|
|
* I'm working from an everything-HEAD-except vcal and abbrowser
|
|
checkout, because the new resources framework breaks everything.
|
|
* Next KPilot tarballs will be 4.4.0 (HEAD) release.

KPilot Developer's notes for April 30th, 2003
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
2003-4-25 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Updated resizing action in the conduit config dialog.
|
|
* Added a ConduitConfigBase to the knotes conduit.
|
|
* Changed a bunch of Name[] entries for the time conduit. We
|
|
need shorter names; most of them are horribly redundant.
|
|
* Noticed that the conduit checklist items don't always get
|
|
painted right. Added a workaround.
|
|
|
|
2003-4-24 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* More work on the conduit configuration stuff.
|
|
* Make FUNCTIONSETUP print PRETTY_FUNCTION instead of just FUNCTION.
|
|
* Added a ConduitConfigBase object to the time conduit.
|
|
|
|
2003-4-22 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Cleanup of several cout and other debug messages
|
|
* In the addressbook and todo conduits, after the sync the AppInfoBlock
|
|
is written back to the databases so that adding categories to the
|
|
database finally works.
|
|
|
|
2003-4-21 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Changed the description for the KPilot NULL conduit to just "NULL",
|
|
since both "KPilot" and "conduit" are redundant in this context.
|
|
* Messed around a little with the types of plugin code, created a
|
|
class ConduitConfigBase which is supposed to supplant the current
|
|
config widget stuff.
|
|
|
|
2003-4-21 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Implemented different ways to convert the bookmarks in the doc
|
|
conduit when doing Handheld->PC sync.
|
|
* Some tab order fixes in several conduit setup dialogs.
|
|
* Improved the question when the handheld and the KPilot user
|
|
names don't match.
|
|
|
|
2003-4-20 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Added the sources for a generic DB viewer and a datebook viewer.
|
|
These don't show up anywhere yet though. The datebook viewer has
|
|
no functionality yet.
|
|
* kpilot.cc Minor change to detect non-functioning daemon better.
|
|
* Restored the tooltip code to the conduit config dialog. Removed
|
|
the "description" column again.
|
|
* uiDialog.{h,cc} Moved the addAboutPage() code to a static function so
|
|
that it can be reused elsewhere.
|
|
* plugin.{h,cc} Added a new base class ConduitConfigBase for deriving
|
|
the configuration widgets for conduits from. This will make them
|
|
more generically pluggable.
|
|
|
|
2003-4-19 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Fixed the categories sync in both the addressbook and the todo conduits.
|
|
|
|
2003-4-18 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Laurent Montel did some compile fixes for restrictive (NO_ASCII_ ...)
|
|
compile environments. And I fixed them to match the coding guide.
|
|
* Make file installer emit a [] message like the conduits do, to
|
|
give the "No files to install" message context. Tell the user how
|
|
many files will be installed.
|
|
* Tell the user if the daemon can't be started. Tell the user what
|
|
charset is selected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-4-17 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Finished moving the conduit config to checklist items. Worked out
|
|
a sensible compromise with the command buttons. The conduit
|
|
descriptions (comment lines in the .desktop files) need work.
|
|
|
|
2003-4-16 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Tried to add a logMessagePart slot which would append some words
|
|
to the last line of the sync log (but would not start a new paragraph,
|
|
and more text could be added to the last paragraph). Realized that this
|
|
is not possible in a QTextEdit with LogText, and using RichText is too
|
|
buggy to be useful. However, I found a way to get rid of the pseudo-
|
|
progressbar in the libmal output, so this is not an issue any longer.
|
|
|
|
2003-4-16 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Moved conduit config to a list of QCheckListItems, finally.
|
|
This was easier than I thought. Took a bit of time to polish,
|
|
though. This change introduces a new class ConduitConfigWidget
|
|
which could be placed in a tab elsewhere if needed.
|
|
|
|
2003-4-15 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Finally fixed the configure.in.in check for libmal in the malconduit
|
|
* calendar conduit had wrong RadioButton IDs, so the Resource and LocalCalendar
|
|
settings were messed upt
|
|
|
|
2003-4-14 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Made some reasonable mock-ups, see my kpilot page, mulled over the
|
|
non-editing by the viewers. I'm now working in HEAD only.
|
|
* kpilot.{h,cc} Fixed up backwards compatibility.
|
|
|
|
2003-4-12 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Mucking about with KPilot's UI again. Trying to remove dialogs
|
|
and to make the viewers just viewers.
|
|
|
|
2003-4-1 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* My daughter, Mira Annelie Engel, was born this evening and is a
|
|
bouncing healthy girl. But she's going to put a crimp in KPilot
|
|
development, that's for sure.

KPilot Developer's notes for March 26th, 2003
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
2003-3-26 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* pilotLocalDatabase.cc [BOTH] Qt 3.0 compatibility.
|
|
* More merging: lib/ just spacing fixes.
|
|
* kpilot/ In HEAD, muck about with the toggle actions that were removed
|
|
from kpilot.cc. This stuff is supposed to build in all KDE 3.x.
|
|
* I've been thinking about _where_ to hack next. HEAD is evolving
|
|
further under Reinhold's influence, and I feel pretty much stymied
|
|
in BRANCH because I can't touch strings and the like. However, I'm
|
|
still running KDE 3.1 and dedicated to KDE 3.0 compatibility as well.
|
|
Since the things I want to change are in lib/ and kpilot/ and affect
|
|
strings, I'm going to pick up those from HEAD, but stick to BRANCH
|
|
conduits for the next while. Then I can catch up with HEAD in the
|
|
conduits one by one. So initial KPilot 4.4.x tarballs will be from
|
|
a mix of CVS branches. We might consider doing the conduit releases
|
|
separately from KPilot itself - more 3rd party-ish - since the conduits
|
|
change far more drastically than KPilot itself.
|
|
|
|
Initial plans for 4.4.0: disable editing in the viewers ; move the
|
|
configuration things into the JanusWidget, and out of separate dialogs.
|
|
|
|
2003-3-24 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Adapted the layout of the addressbook conduit's setup dialog to
|
|
resemble the one from the calendar/todo conduit
|
|
* Addressbook conduit: Implemented the option to sync with an
|
|
arbitrary vcard file instead of only the standard addressbook.
|
|
This actually involved quite a lot of dealing with resources,
|
|
factories etc., so I'm still looking for an easier way to
|
|
obtain the addressbook from a single local vcard file.
|
|
|
|
2003-3-23 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Lot of work on the docconduit. Finished the KPalmDOC application.
|
|
It converts text files to .pdb files that can be viewed as ebooks
|
|
on the handheld. The user can either convert single text files
|
|
to or from PalmDOC .pdb files, or choose a directory, where all
|
|
*.txt or *.pdb files will be converted to another directory.
|
|
I created some icons by just putting the text mime-type icon
|
|
behind the kpilot icon, so the icons don't look too well. All artists
|
|
are welcome to improve them.
|
|
* Tried to implement a configure option for libmal, and use autoconf's
|
|
built-in functionality to detect libmal. Doesn't work yet, so I
|
|
haven't committed it yet.
|
|
|
|
2003-3-23 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* More merging .. conduits today:
|
|
* null/ There's a single string change, "Failure" -> "failure".
|
|
* expense/ knotes/ Nothing changed - except the Makefile.am,
|
|
which breaks things in HEAD.
|
|
* malconduit/ "" -> QString() for QString cleanness. Some authors
|
|
should have been credits. There's still a spelling fix string
|
|
change in HEAD. Lots of spacing updates.
|
|
|
|
2003-3-21 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Heh, noone ever noticed the "Edit Toolbars" menu item called the
|
|
"Edit Keyboard Shortcuts" dialog.
|
|
|
|
2003-3-20 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Merging between BRANCH and HEAD.
|
|
* options.h [BRANCH] Upped the version number again.
|
|
* lib/ [BOTH] Merged documentation, fixed minor bug in plugin.cc in HEAD.
|
|
* kpilot/ [BOTH] Merged stuff.
|
|
* pilotDaemon.{h,cc} [HEAD] The daemon has extra DCOP features and kroupware.
|
|
* kpilot.h [HEAD] Extra in-use code and Ben's removal of toolbars
|
|
(supported by standards in KDE 3.2 - this needs backporting and
|
|
#ifdeffing).
|
|
* conduitConfigDialog.cc [HEAD] Has all the setup stuff for the checkbox
|
|
list conversion (a GJJ) but #if 0'ed out.
|
|
* kpilotConfig{Dialog,}.{h,cc} [HEAD] Adds a GUI for the pilot encoding.
|
|
* kpilotDCOP.h [HEAD] Extra configure methods from David.
|
|
* listCat.h [BOTH] One-up the spelling mafia.
|
|
|
|
2003-3-17 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* [fileInstallWidget.cc] Applied file-installer multiselect patch
|
|
from Ulrik Mikaelsson.
|
|
* [pilotDaemon.cc] Applied DCOP interface additions from David Mott.
|
|
|
|
2003-3-15 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* The popmail conduit runs in backup mode during syncs. So do all the
|
|
other conduits. What's going on? Thanks to Tobia Baier for spotting this.
|
|
Worse still, the bug comes from the difference between & and &&. Fixed.
|
|
* syncStack.cc [BOTH] Fixed --backup bug.
|
|
* David Mott is back with more patches, but he's got competition from
|
|
Ulrik Mikaelsson, who's also doing GJJs.
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for March 12th, 2003
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
2003-3-12 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Lots of administrivia changes, like the FSF address.
|
|
* Really ought to merge the copyright changes into BRANCH, since they're
|
|
still being released with weird copyright assignments.
|
|
* vcal conduit in local-test mode will write out an .ics.
|
|
|
|
2003-3-4 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Welcome back to David Mott, author of several patches already and
|
|
ready to dive into the code again for GJJs. Happy distraction, dude.
|
|
* [vcal-conduitbase.cc] Checked against wrong KDE_VERSION. [BRANCH]
|
|
* Various merging from BRANCH to HEAD. Layout fixups here and there.
|
|
* Test mode in the vcal conduit by default uses local databases from
|
|
/tmp.
|
|
|
|
2003-3-3 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* pilotDatabase.h [BRANCH] Merged additional parameters to findDatabase
|
|
from HEAD. Merged every other change in lib/ from BRANCH to HEAD.
|
|
* pilotRecord.{h,cc} [BRANCH] Added instrumentation for alloc/delete count.
|
|
|
|
2003-3-2 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Continued instrumentation of the vcal conduit.
|
|
|
|
2003-3-2 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* the DOC conduit now also finds the correct sync direction
|
|
if the user only wants PC->PDA or only PDA->PC sync.
|
|
Also, if a text was deleted on one side, it is also deleted
|
|
on the other end
|
|
* The resolution dialog of the DOC conduit now uses a QScrollView
|
|
instead of a QTable for the list of conflicting texts
|
|
* In the DOC conduit, regular expressions as bookmark names work
|
|
now. E.g. a bookmark search string of "return (\S+);" and a
|
|
bookmark name of "RetVal: $1" or "RetVal: \1" replaces all $i or
|
|
\i by the i-th subexpression of the match.
|
|
* DOC databases are now also kept locally if the user set this option
|
|
(installDatabases has the addidtional argument not to delete
|
|
the files)
|
|
* The calendar and todo conduits now use the standard calendar by
|
|
default. The user can also specify a single file to sync with
|
|
instead of the whole calendar.
|
|
* The calendar and todo conduits use identical setup dialogs, so
|
|
there is no reason for code duplication. Removed the setup dialog
|
|
of the todo conduit and derived it from the calendar conduit setup
|
|
dialog.
|
|
* Updated the copyright lines in the source files as well as
|
|
in the about tabs of kpilot and the conduits.
|
|
* Since we have the calendar resource framework, the calendarr conduit
|
|
can run even while korganizer has the calendar open without causing
|
|
calendar corruption. So I removed the check for running korganizer
|
|
and alarm daemon
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-2-28 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Discovered that the changes from 2003-1-31 to syncAction.{h,cc}
|
|
had disappeared in some of my periodic CVS screwups. Re-did them.
|
|
* vcal-conduitbase.{h,cc} [BRANCH] Added more instruments for
|
|
running test mode.
|
|
|
|
2003-2-27 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Merged Reinhold's print-conduit-id patch from HEAD.
|
|
* Continued updating the documentation. Ripped out the revision
|
|
history, Lauri says I'm the only developer in the history of
|
|
KDE to actually maintain it in the docs.
|
|
* Updated version to 4.3.9 now that 4.3.8 is out.
|
|
* Started work on a real test mode for the vcal conduit.
|
|
* syncStack.cc [BRANCH] Set conduit action name to the conduit's name.
|

|
2003-2-26 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Finally solved KDE 3.0 build issues, incorporated minor fixes, updated
|
|
build scripts and RELEASED KPILOT 4.3.8. Get it from the website,
|
|
possibly in a few hours after it updates or from my personal
|
|
backup copy (replace pilone by adridg in the URL).

|
* Happy Valentine's Day, eh. Remember guys, today your girlfriend
|
|
_is_ more important than hacking. Which reminds me ..
|
|
|
|
2003-2-13 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilotLink.{h,cc} [BRANCH] Added a messagesType flag to distinguish
|
|
error messages from normal once-only messages in shouldPrint().
|
|
Print out device name before opening in open().
|
|
|
|
2003-2-12 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Applied David Mott's DCOP patches to HEAD. Also applied his RMB
|
|
patches to HEAD. This takes care of some GJJs.
|
|
* memoWidget.cc [BOTH] Replaced the label "Memos:" beside the
|
|
category combobox by "Category:" which is also used by the
|
|
address widget. Kept the old string around for safekeeping.
|
|
* Dealing with non-latin1 Pilots again, now in Russian. And it
|
|
_seems_ to work. I think last week's changes were sufficiently
|
|
general. Added in the rest of the Pilot languages as well,
|
|
from the JPilot source.
|
|
|
|
2003-2-10 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* popmail-conduit.cc [HEAD] Did some actual TODO_I18N work,
|
|
removed printfs from the message construction in the conduit.
|
|
Added a GJJ for it.
|
|
* pilotDaemon.cc has lots of Kroupware additions in HEAD and
|
|
also changes "unix" -> "KDE" in the about box.
|
|
* conduitConfigDialog.cc has lots of new code for changing the
|
|
conduit list to a list of checkboxes.
|
|
* kpilotConfigDialog_base has been edited in HEAD for new Kroupware
|
|
options. Same with kpilotConfigDialog.cc, kpilotConfig.{h,cc}.
|
|
* conduitSetup.cc may be deprecated, but there was a minor difference
|
|
between files. HEAD <- BRANCH (ie. HEAD gets BRANCH version).
|
|
* hotSync.cc variable names changed, BRANCH <- HEAD.
|
|
* interactiveSync.cc typos and latin1() fixes. BRANCH <-> HEAD.
|
|
* logWidgetDCOP.h still had Log: tag in it,. removed [HEAD,BRANCH]
|
|
* abbrowser conduit has new custom field code. Did BRANCH <- HEAD
|
|
for the includes, though, just to normalize 'em. But, to quote
|
|
TMBG, "Who keeps moving my #includes?" The only unmerged stuff
|
|
that _could_ be merged is minor code beautification in
|
|
@@ -1496,22 +1563,26 @@
|
|
* Should re-add a Pilot*Database constructor that takes a const char *
|
|
for those places that already have a dbName.
|
|
* vcalconduit has startOffset() support for alarms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-2-9 Adriaan de Groot (merge status)
|
|
* Merging. I hate merging. We _definitely_ need a better process for
|
|
this, like merging every fix into HEAD as soon as it's done. That
|
|
would save a lot of effort, I think. And I'm going to check out
|
|
KPilot with -kk for merging efforts from now on. Here's the list
|
|
of features I found in HEAD that are not in BRANCH:
|
|
- KPilotDeviceLink::installFiles() extra arguments.
|
|
- KPilotDeviceLink::findDatabase() extra arguments.
|
|
- PilotDatabase::createDatabase() and deleteDatabase() added.
|
|
- Pilot*Database::readNextModifiedRec() extra arguments.
|
|
- Pilot*Database::deleteRecord() added.
|
|
- PilotLocalDatabase::PilotLocalDatabase extra arguments.
|
|
- FileInstallWidget lots of changes. FileInstaller as well. [MERGED]
|
|
* Managed to revert, prevert, and advert syncStack.{h,cc} all in
|
|
one go. I think I have it back to normal now.

KPilot Developer's notes for February 7th, 2003
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
* KPilot 4.3.7 is released. Tarballs on the website tonight.
|
|
* Need to backport the changes from 2002-11-10 to BRANCH.
|
|
* Grep for and destroy latin1() calls in code. These are now in
|
|
the code to keep KPilot working under QT_NO_ASCII_CAST conditions,
|
|
but should all be replaced by the proper functions instead - either
|
|
QFile::encodeName() or by updating other functions to take QStrings
|
|
instead of const char *, and using the Pilot codec where appropriate.
|
|
* Reinhold's on vacation for a little while.
|
|
|
|
2003-2-7 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Updated the website some.
|
|
* options.h [BRANCH] Version number now 4.3.7.
|
|
|
|
2003-2-6 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Did a big chunk of merging from BRANCH to HEAD. Discovered two
|
|
things that didn't work well:
|
|
- Changes in the abbrowser conduit wrt. getCustomField()
|
|
- Memo widget optimizations
|
|
I hope I got them right. I'm going back to work in BRANCH.
|
|
* Constant strings in the source are now (almost all) marked
|
|
with CSL1() for Constant String Latin 1. This reduces the
|
|
number of hits for [lL]atin1. The macro uses a syntactic trick
|
|
to make sure it's only applied to constant strings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-2-5 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Almost everywhere [BRANCH] Search and destroyed latin1().
|
|
* options.h [BRANCH] Handle <kdebugclasses.h> properly. Um, sort of.
|
|
The dag-blabbed file is obsolete in KDE 3.2, required in 3.1, and
|
|
incomplete in 3.0. Ignore it instead. Ignore all the fancy Q*
|
|
operator <<s and do it all by hand.
|
|
|
|
2003-2-2 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* conduitConfigDialog.cc [HEAD] Started inserting code for improved
|
|
conduit selection and activation.
|
|
* kpilot.cc [BRANCH] Improve perceived startup time by delaying
|
|
the loading of databases till the GUI is up.
|
|
* options.h [BRANCH] To enforce discipline, use NO_ASCII_CAST.
|
|
NOT COMMITTED - it'll break a lot of debug stuff as well.
|
|
However, as an occasional test, it's a good idea.
|
|
* {many files} [BRANCH] Clean up random char * conversions.
|
|
* kpilotConfig.{h,cc} [BRANCH] Introduce config entry for encoding.
|
|
* kpilot.cc pilotDaemon.cc pilotAppCategory.h pilotRecord.cc [BRANCH]
|
|
Use the config entry for encoding. Applications that use any
|
|
PilotAppCategory derived class - ie. that interpret data from the
|
|
Pilot in any way - should call setupPilotCodec() beforehand with
|
|
the name of the encoding (QString::null == "ISO8859-1", the default,
|
|
or use something like "Shift-JIS").
|
|
* pilotMemo.{h,cc} memoWidget.cc [BRANCH] Use the codec for the returned
|
|
title of the memo. This is the first step on making PilotMemo return
|
|
everything in QString format suitable for any encoding. In order to
|
|
change the encoding, add
|
|
Encoding=<name>
|
|
to the kpilotrc file in the top part (ie. after DeviceName).
|
|
|
|
2003-2-1 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Some time spent tracking down double activations of slowShowMemo().
|
|
* memoWidget.{h,cc} [BRANCH] Removed double initialization. Removed
|
|
heavy-handed initialize() call after memo deletion. Found potential
|
|
data-loss bug with deleting memos after unselecting one. Decided that
|
|
extended select in this case is just _evil_. I can't decide which
|
|
memo to show after deselections, and there's several other problems
|
|
as well related to slotUpdateButtons(). Reverted the multiple-select.
|
|
* options.h [BRANCH] Added the TODO_I18N macro to BRANCH as well,
|
|
where it's more important.
|
|
* kpilotlink.cc [BRANCH] Reordered ReadSysInfo and ReadUserInfo to
|
|
copy JPilot's setup, maybe that will help with password issues.
|
|
* kpilot.cc [BRANCH] Cleaned up deprecated headers.
|
|
* conduitConfigDialog.cc [BRANCH] Preparing to repair the clumsy
|
|
conduit selection and activation
|
|
|
|

seemed a little unproductive. But it does give some very useful

information: We need a combo box to choose the Pilot's encoding.
|
|
We can use the list from JPilot. Next, we need to make _all_ the
|
|
QString::fromLatin1() and QString::latin1() -- also all the
|
|
implicit ones -- that refer to pilot records use the right codec.
|
|
This will require some possibly major work on the database classes.
|
|
* The logging is still lousy for many conduits. I ran the
|
|
notes and address conduits, and the log was less than enlightening.
|
|
* We need to sync _all_ databases, not just the conduited ones.
|
|
* Encoding and decoding non-latin1 Pilots is a priority.
|
|
|
|
2003-2-1 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* memoWidget.{h,cc} [BRANCH] Applied patch from David Mott for the GJJ
|
|
"Lose QMLE". Good job! ... Ugh, and it breaks on KDE 3.0. Hacked.
|
|
* pilotDatabase.h [BRANCH] Missing #include fixed. How this ever compiled
|
|
is a mystery to me.
|
|
* pilotRecord.{h,cc} [BRANCH] Inlined trivial functions.
|
|
* pilotRecord.{h,cc} pilotAppCategory.h [BRANCH] Start of codec support.
|
|
* Put together some scripts to do more automated building and testing
|
|
in KDE 3.1 and 3.0 environments. This makes tarball delivery a _lot_
|
|
easier.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-1-31 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Let's do the time-warp again!
|
|
* syncAction.{h,cc} [HEAD] Added a delayDone() function for use from
|
|
exec() to avoid possible stack growth as follows:
|
|
conduitExec()
|
|
exec()
|
|
syncDone()
|
|
SyncStack::conduitDone()
|
|
delete syncAction // The one whose exec() we're still in!
|
|
conduitExec() // Another conduit!
|
|
...
|
|
return true;
|
|
I'm not sure I trust all the pointers to still be OK when this happens.
|
|
Using delayDone() makes sure that exec() and conduitExec() return
|
|
first and we get back to the main event loop.
|
|
* syncStack.{h,cc} [HEAD] Using a stack instead of a queue has some
|
|
comp-sci chique, but little practical value. Break up the API
|
|
to make it more easy to use elsewhere and practical to insert
|
|
extra items (like Kroupware) into the sync order.
|
|
|
|
2003-1-30 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Removing local8bit() calls in the code. They're not wanted.
|
|
* Marked conduitSetup.{h,cc} as deprecated and removed from build.
|
|
* Looked into bug #52138 again, and I just can't see it. My Pilot
|
|
syncs fine with KAddressbook and KNotes, both ways, with names
|
|
and memos with any latin1 character. [Update: aha! The bug is
|
|
about Japanese language Sony Clie's. So it turns out there are
|
|
Pilots that don't use latin1 at all. I'll take a look at how
|
|
jpilot deals with them.]
|
|
* I'd like to change the About box tag-line for KPilot to:
|
|
KPilot - HotSync software for KDE
|
|
for a variety of consistency reasons. This can only happen
|
|
in HEAD, though.
|
|
* Reversed some confusing accidental commits by me in the
|
|
debugging department for the daemon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-1-26 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Ugh. Still sick with the flu. Hacking just a little, though.
|
|
The Kroupware stuff in HEAD needs to be moved. Ugh, it's ugly.
|
|
It needs to become a conduit of its own, but it's hard to tell
|
|
just what it's doing.
|
|
|
|
2003-1-24 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Received a patch from David Mott that removes lots of the Log:
|
|
tags from the KPilot source (mostly in kpilot/). Finished the
|
|
job too, committed.
|
|
|
|
2003-1-20 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* For the next little while, I'll be working in _BRANCH fixing
|
|
bugs as best I can. These will end up in KDE 3.1.x releases.
|
|
Reinhold will be working in HEAD, adding neat features.
|
|
BRANCH will be merged to HEAD regularly so that no bug-fixes
|
|
are lost in HEAD.
|
|
* Reduced debugging output clutter in PilotAddress by changing
|
|
to FUNCTIONSETUPL(). Assigned Levels are: 4=PilotAddress.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-1-18 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Removed several Log: ... tags from the conduits I maintain
|
|
* started implementing the custom fields sync of the addressbook conduit.
|
|
I still have problems converting a string to a QDate using a custom format
|
|
* Cleanup of includes in my conduits.
|
|
* Some more work on the DOCConduit. There are still several open issues, but
|
|
the basic functionality works just fine!
|
|
|

KPilot Developer's notes for January 17th, 2003
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
2003-1-15 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Back to BSD. Committed lots of header file changes. Did some fixing
|
|
for strlcpy() in 3_0_BRANCH for folks with KDE < 3.0.5a.
|
|
|
|
2003-1-11 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Weirdly, I can list the databases on the pilot just fine with kpilotTest,
|
|
but at the end of the sync the pilot complains about the password.
|
|
* Similarly, using the daemon I can back up the pilot just fine (pilot-link
|
|
0.11.3, all this) and at the end the pilot complains. The data is backed
|
|
up just fine, though.
|
|
* Wow, USB connections are _fast_.
|
|
* Weirdness comes in threes: after a while the debug output stops printing.
|
|
Even when it's sent to cerr directly. Hmm .. has something to do with
|
|
printing NULL QStrings.
|
|
* [hotSync.cc] Every "Backing up:" message was logged twice.
|
|
* [logWidget.cc] Added more version information. Discovered that
|
|
QTextView is obsolete. Fixed log tailing problem. #ifdeffed it to
|
|
Qt 3.1 and later.
|
|
|
|
2003-1-10 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* [kpilot/interactivesync.cc] Some strlcpy problems when compiling HEAD
|
|
(or BRANCH) KPilot on a KDE 3.0 system. Since we don't maintain branches,
|
|
backwards compatibility in HEAD is essential. Added #if KDE_VERSION < 310.
|
|
* [lib/kpilotlink.cc] Might have found the source of the KPilot-hangs-with-USB
|
|
problems. There's a note in the QSocketNotifier docs saying not to disable
|
|
read-notifiers. I did anyway, and it never caused problems before.
|
|
Added some workaround crud.
|
|
* I'm currently building kdelibs and base and pim on a Linux box, something
|
|
I haven't done in over a year. This will allow me access to a USB stack
|
|
that can actually handle the m500, so I can do some more testing.
|
|
Primary platform remains FreeBSD, though, for all-the-other-KDE-problems-
|
|
on-nonlinux.
|
|
* Made a round of removing <iostream.h>, since it's already in options.h.
|
|
Needed a "using namespace std;" in options to get stuff to work.
|
|
|
|
2003-1-9 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Made new tarballs of the build system (for 3.0 and 3.1) and
|
|
the sources.
|
|
* Decision: I'm going to do bugfixes in _BRANCH. Reinhold can do
|
|
bugfixes and new conduits in HEAD, and I'll merge from BRANCH to
|
|
HEAD fairly regularly. I think that's the best balance between
|
|
getting stuff out the door and sticking to the KDE release schedule.
|
|
* Decision: Remove all the Log: tags from the source files.
|
|
The Id: tags stay in, for debugging output.
|
|
|
|
2003-1-1 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Ho ho ho. Happy new year.

KPilot Developer's notes for December 30th, 2002
|
|
================================================
|
|
|
|
2002-12-30 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Some more work on the docconduit. I'm currently restructuring again,
|
|
so right now it doesn't work at all, but should be finished really
|
|
soon now.
|
|
* Add a method PilotDatabase::deleteDatabase() to delete the database.
|
|
* Add a warning to the vcal conduit's setup dialog to clear any
|
|
misconception about conflict resolution. Also changed "Pilot" to
|
|
"handheld" at several places.
|
|
|
|
2002-12-15 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Added a parameter "bool useDefaultPath=false" to
|
|
PilotLocalDatabase::PilotLocalDatabase to prevent resetting
|
|
the dbPathName to the default path (kpilot/DBBackup/UserName)
|
|
|
|
2002-12-13 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Initial import of the docconduit, which syncs text files on
|
|
the desktop with PalmDOC databases (kind of e-book format for
|
|
the palm) on the handheld for use with AportisDoc, TealReader,
|
|
QED, etc.
|
|
* VCalConduit: yearly recurrence now works correctly (had wrong
|
|
yearly recurrence type rYearlyDay instead of rYearlyMonth)
|
|
* Addressbook conduit: _equal also compares the categories to
|
|
check if an item was changed
|
|
* Added the new methods createDatabase(..) and deleteRecord(..)
|
|
to the PilotDatabase classes. createDatabase creates a new
|
|
database with given type and creator, and deleteRecord deletes
|
|
either a single record or all records in the whole database
|
|
* PilotDatabse::readNextModifiedRec has a new optional argument
|
|
of type int* which receives the index of the returned record.
|
|
* PilotDatabase::findDatabase has optional arguments
|
|
int index=0, long type=0, long creator=0
|
|
|

================================================
|
|
|
|
2002-11-10 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Is kate acting up? I would have sworn I did some ChangeLog
|
|
editing last night. Anyway:
|
|
* Expanded the DCOP interface so the daemon can signal KPilot
|
|
when the HotSync is done. This causes postHotSync things to
|
|
be called and unfreezes the FileInstaller.
|
|
* Adjusted the progress bar during installing files.
|
|
* Daemon->Quit now still waits til lthe end of the sync.
|
|
* Display some form of progress during a restore. Reduce verbosity a little.
|
|
|
|
2002-11-08 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Clear the file installer list after a HotSync. Disable dropping files
|
|
on the installer during a Sync.
|
|
* When installing files, the "done" message was printed at the
|
|
beginning of the last file to be installed. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
2002-11-07 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* only call slotTextChanged() in the MemoWidget
|
|
when switching memos, and only if the memo is changed.
|
|
This saves rewriting the database every time you hit a
|
|
key in the memo edit box.
|
|
|
|
2002-11-06 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Fix the KNotes conduit's name.
|
|
|
|
2002-11-05 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Patched up the website again a bit.
|
|
* Mucking about in libkcal to make it useful for KPilot.
|
|
* Lots of includes changed in the vcalconduit to reflect that.
|
|
|
|
2002-11-02 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Regarding the "Hidden config feature", it's in the group for the
|
|
popmail conduit, called "outboxFolder". Set it to the i18n'ed name
|
|
of KMail's outbox. Damn KMail's DCOP interface / config. This
|
|
should make it possible to send mail with KMail again.
|
|
* Finally got a separate build tree of KPilot working. Can distribute
|
|
sources again, now, assuming SLAC can suffer the bandwidth penalty.
|
|
* Most of libkcal's header files aren't installed. Why? Is it really intended
|
|
to be totally internal to the kdepim module in KDE's CVS?
|
|
|
|
2002-10-31 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Happy Hallowe'en, eh.
|
|
|
|
2002-10-27 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Don't you hate code / feature freezes? It always stops KPilot development
|
|
in it's tracks, if only because fixing the bug related to KMail's outbox
|
|
requires a new string. Bitch bitch, moan moan.
|
|
* Added new TODO_I18N macro to flag I18N todos. The popmail
|
|
conduit is a big candidate for fixups.
|
|
* Thought of a new starter project: moving the popmail conduit config
|
|
dialog to Qt Designer. Another one would be to fixup the capitalization
|
|
of popmail in that conduit.
|
|
* Added extra undocumented configuration option to the popmail
|
|
conduit in an effort to save KMail sending capability.
|
|

2002-09-13 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Finally, the addressbook conduit is in a shape where I can release
|
|
it with beta 2. There are still some issues (e.g. duplication as
|
|
conflict resolution is messed up on the next sync. Also, entries
|
|
with newlines in an address field are always determined as changed,
|
|
so the fast sync is not so fast with them.), but they can be targeted
|
|
later on.
|
|
|
|
2002-09-10 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Problems related to immediate "Exiting on Cancel" traced back to
|
|
having two pilot-link versions installed; compile against one
|
|
and link against the other.
|
|
|
|
2002-09-02 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Added finer-grained pilot-link version checking in configure.in.in.
|
|
Removed all support for ancient pilot-link versions.
|
|
|
|
2002-08-30 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Much mucking about with dlp_ functions in an attempt to discover why
|
|
syncing wasn't discovering _any_ of my databases. Also handling
|
|
dlp_ReadUserInfo failures, indicating possible password use. Weird.
|
|
|
|
2002-08-28 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Mess around a bit with Chris' crashes and the exiting-on-cancel one.
|
|
* PilotDaemon not passing on correct signals and slots to KPilot.
|
|
This should finally enable some progress-meter changing.
|
|
* Ditched the check of dlp_OpenConduit when the device is opened
|
|
initially, it's returning -18 after the user name is read correctly.
|
|
The USB support under FBSD is still very patchy, though, since
|
|
it thinks I have just one database.
|
|
|
|
2002-08-24 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Add a "Fail Now" mode to the NULL conduit to help debugging.
|
|
|
|
2002-08-24 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* (syncAction.cc) Whoops, forgot to implement the timeout feature
|
|
in interactive questionYesNo.
|
|
* One more go through all the sources removing warnings.
|
|
|
|
2002-08-23 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* (addressWidget.cc) Added more debugging output in response to bug #45977.
|
|
Gosh, it's even a FreeBSD user. This basically means that the database
|
|
can't be opened, and I have no idea why.
|
|
* (kpilotlink.cc) Added more debugging output in KPilotLink::acceptDevice()
|
|
to deal with problems from Chris Cowell and Beat Straehl.
|
|
* (kpilotlink.cc) (Perhaps) check pilot-link version more gracefully.
|
|
* (pilotUser.h) bzero() new KPilotUser data structures, just in case.
|
|
* (interactiveSync.cc) Fix compile warnings.
|
|
* (knotes-action.cc) Fix bug that causes the KNotes conduit to hang
|
|
when KNotes isn't running.
|
|
* (everything dependent on SyncAction) Changed the type of exec() to virtual
|
|
bool, and removed it from the slots. Added a new slot execConduit() which
|
|
calls exec(). This makes you return a value from exec(), and false is intended
|
|
to indicate "processing never started due to errors" and will cause execConduit()
|
|
to generate a generic error message and emit the syncDone(this) signal, which
|
|
is otherwise easily forgotten when just doing return;
|

2002-08-15 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Implemented categories in the todo conduit
|
|
* Fixed the bug which prevented error messages from
|
|
being included in the hotsync log (the signals from
|
|
fDeviceLink were not connected!)
|
|
* Included the malconduit in the CVS tree (but disabled
|
|
its compilation for now), wrote several
|
|
emails asking for permission to either relicense libmal
|
|
to use MPL 1.1, or to include special permission into
|
|
KPilot's COPYING to permit linking to libmal.

===========================================
|
|
|
|
2002-07-31 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Added a time conduit which syncs the time from the pc to the palm
|
|
* Also wrote an AvantGo conduit, but didn't add it to the cvs tree yet
|
|
because it uses libmal, which is MPL (and thus GPL-incompatible).
|
|
We have yet to figure out a way to make them compatible...
|

2002-07-17 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* A first almost-working version of the address conduit. Chances are,
|
|
some data will be lost, but most parts work. "Duplicate entries"
|
|
conflict resolution setting does not yet work.
|
|
|
|

===========================================
|
|
|
|
2002-07-04 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* Added a function KPilotDeviceLink::tickle() which prevents a timeout
|
|
on the palm side if it is called with a timer (e.g. when a dialog is open)
|
|
* Some more work on the addressbook conduit, which seems to be trickier
|
|
than I had thought initially.
|
|
|
|
|

KPilot Developer's notes for june 24th, 2002

============================================
|
|
|
|
Moving on past 3.0.2 and trying to sort things out.
|
|
|
|
2002-06-24 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* The config file the daemon allocates is read-only. This is inconvenient
|
|
when conduits want to save data in the config file. Backed that out,
|
|
am now worried about what happens when you leave the KPilot UI running
|
|
during a sync, since both applications have a RW copy of the config file.
|
|
|
|
2002-06-24 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
Still fighting with the addressbook conduit. The Palm -> PC way already
|
|
seems to work. Haven't committed anything yet to prevent breaking
|
|
compilation of the kdepim module with a conduit which won't work yet anyway.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
2002-06-16 Reinhold Kainhofer
|
|
* backported many fixes in the vcal conduits to the BRANCH for the 3.0.2
|
|
release.
|
|
* For the addressbook conduit I implemented a method
|
|
QValueList<recordid_t> PilotDatabase::idList()
|
|
which returns a list of all record ids in the database
|
|
* KPilotDeviceLink::openDatabases now fetches the database from the palm
|
|
if no backup copy exists on the PC.
|
|

===========================================
|
|
|
|
Not sure just what Reinhold has been up to recently, but
|
|
I know I've been sitting in the sun and relaxing. Mostly.
|
|
|
|
H==HEAD, B==Branch in the bracketed notes after the patch description.
|
|
|
|
2002-06-10 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Using version 4.3.3 in BRANCH for the 3.0.2 release, and
|
|
4.3.4 in HEAD for later.
|
|
|
|
2002-06-08 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Conduits, conduits, conduits and documentation, documentation, documentation.
|
|
That's what we need. Sigh.
|
|
|
|
2002-06-07 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Patched VCalConduitBase::cleanup() to be careful about
|
|
calling functions on objects that may not be allocated. [H,B]
|
|
* Patched VCalConduitBase to use variables from ConduitBase. [H]
|
|
* Added tooltip for daemon. Gosh, that's ugly. Should put a
|
|
nicer message in there. [H]
|
|

==========================================
|
|
|
|
2002-05-23 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* KNotes syncing now really seems to work both ways.
|
|
* Time to deal with a lot of little administrative files.
|
|
* Fixed tooltips in config dialog.
|
|
* KPilotTest now resets after a sync as well.
|
|
* Added hooks in LogWidget to allow extra buttons.
|
|
|
|
2002-05-21 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Renamed PilotDatabase::cleanUpDatabase() to cleanup(), this
|
|
affected the Serial and Local reimplementations and also the
|
|
abbrowser conduit, which is the only conduit to do the right
|
|
thing and cleanup the database after a sync.
|
|
* Added missing close and delete on the databases for plugins.
|
|
|
|
2002-05-19 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Time to take a good hard look at the conduits individually.
|
|
We'll start with the notes conduit, since it only does one-
|
|
way syncing. I suspect this will chime in some more testing
|
|
instrumentation in the base classes for conduits, too.
|
|
* Changed lots of bitconstants to hex, for clarity.
|
|
* Added a FlagLocal to plugin.h with the intent that you can
|
|
then try to sync two _local_ databases -- so you don't even
|
|
need a Pilot for testing.
|
|
* The KNotes conduit now tries to do something sensible with
|
|
getting notes back to the Pilot, but fails.
|
|
|

2002-05-18 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Bunch of compile fixes. What happened?
|
|
|
|
2002-05-15 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Updated the version number.
|
|
* Removed the device type combobox, since it's not needed.
|
|
* Updated the what's this text for the speed combobox.
|
|
* Removed the "alpha" warning from the log widget.

KPilot Developer's notes for april 28st 2002
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
Hopefully we'll have merged the HEAD version of the vcal conduit --
|
|
by Reinhold K. -- with branch so that it actually works.

KPilot Developer's notes for april 21st 2002
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
A week when I should have been working on KPilot, and I've been
|
|
working on the build system instead. Reinhold K. has hinted that
|
|
he's making tremendous progress on the vcal conduit, which is a good thing.
|
|
|
|
2002-04-20 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Closed a few bugs that I could verify are resolved. Other conduit-
|
|
related bugs remain open even if I suspect they're done, since I
|
|
haven't actually physically tested them.
|
|
|
|
2002-04-16 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Finally committed all of David B's patches and things. [HEAD]
|
|
* More modification of configure.in.in and the Makefile.am's to
|
|
make pilot-link more easily found (I hope). [BRANCH]
|
|
|
|
2002-04-15 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Cosmetic fix: center splash image under KDE3 as well.
|
|
* Fixed misleading debug statement when KPilot starts the daemon.
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for mid-april 2002
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
2002-04-13 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Received a patch from Carlo Perassi for handling cases where there
|
|
is no user name set in the Pilot.
|
|
* Worked on configure changes to detect pilot-link automatically and
|
|
properly. [BRANCH]
|
|
|
|
2002-04-09 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Did some minor debugging in setting flags for the conduits.
|
|
|
|
2002-04-07 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* There are now two real branches of development for KPilot. KDE_3_0_BRANCH
|
|
gets bugfixes to the existing code, while HEAD gets new features. I imagine
|
|
I'll merge BRANCH back to HEAD sometime when I feel that the main bugs
|
|
are out (like next week, I hope). I'll be showing where patches go until
|
|
we merge again.
|
|
* Added a message (no i18n) showing KPilot and pilot-link versions.
|
|
* Still need a workaround for dlp_addSyncLogEntry() for pilot-link 0.10.1
|
|
[BRANCH - should go in HEAD as well]
|
|
* Fixed Makefile.am bug in popmailconduit. [BRANCH]
|
|
- --test mode wasn't working with kpilotTest (when running conduits) [BRANCH]
|
|
|
|
2002-04-06 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Applied patch to avoid crash with undefined symbol. I forget who sent
|
|
it in, though. Thanks to you, anonymous! Wrote a script to catch this
|
|
kind of situation in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for sometime in march 2002
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
2002-03-09 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Sanitized syncStack so that nextAction isn't so ambiguous.
|
|
* Fixed missing default (--list) in kpilotTest.
|
|
* Some neatness fixes in pilotDaemon.cc and pilotDaemonDCOP.h.
|
|
* Test syncs shouldn't run conduits or install files. Fixed in pilotDaemon.
|
|
* The daemon leaked 2 FD's on every sync, which is bad. Added some extra
|
|
::close() calls, which fixes this (under p-l 0.9.5 and 0.10.1).
|
|
* Mucked about with USB devices some more, but it looks like the m500
|
|
is going to be unusable under FBSD for some time. This isn't bad, since
|
|
I can then concentrate on getting things working with the serial PalmV.
|
|
* It might be a good idea to start using the daemon to do just device tests
|
|
instead of kpilotTest -- though it doens't make a big difference.
|
|
|
|
2002-03-08 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Fiddled around w/ getting a broadband connection, for whatever
|
|
reason. I guess effortless connectivity is the goal. Fiddled with
|
|
my new m500 USB and discovered that pilot-link 0.10.1pre works
|
|
perfectly with it under Linux (well, pilot-xfer -l works). Under
|
|
FreeBSD, though, it seems that there's nothing available for this
|
|
kind of device. Hmph. So now I need to spend some time to figure
|
|
out how to get KDE up and running on my somewhat deprecated Linux
|
|
install. Serve the source by NFS?
|
|
|
|
2002-03-07 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Finally picked up where I left off, adding yet another message to
|
|
the startup log window (again, I think this is temporary). The versions
|
|
of relevant items now appear there.
|
|
* Messed around with crashes while deleting CleanupActions.
|
|
|
|
2002-03-06 David Bishop
|
|
* Lots of work on exporting memos in XML format. It looks like the
|
|
whole memo viewer widget is going to be reworked, slightly.
|
|
* Finished off the kdDebug() repairs someone else started.
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for february 11th 2002
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
2002-02-06 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilot/listItems.cc lib/pilotRecord.cc
|
|
- Removed some FUNCTIONSETUPs, since they were really clogging debugging
|
|
output and not adding anything interesting. Changes some other
|
|
debug output as well.
|
|
* kpilot/addressWidget.cc
|
|
- I *think* I squashed a memory leak, caused by createTitle which
|
|
was still returning char * instead of QString. Moved to QString anyway.
|
|
|
|
2002-02-03 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilot/Icons/kpilot-hotsync.png
|
|
- Whipped up a new icon for HotSyncing. This makes all the icons in
|
|
the Janus view the same size.
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for february 2nd 2002
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
2002-01-26 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Wherever
|
|
- Invented an icon for the address viewer.
|
|
- Doubleclick on conduit in active column configures it.
|
|
- Fixed some compile problems under KDE3.
|
|
- Messed around with the vcal conduit.
|
|
- Configuring conduits resets the daemon.
|
|
- You can't reset the daemon during a sync; replaced fQuitAfterSync.
|
|
|
|
I'm starting to think the logWidget belongs with the *daemon*
|
|
(and should be showable from the daemon's context menu), not
|
|
from KPilot (which should be just a viewer). Opinions?
|
|
|
|
2002-01-27 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Wherever
|
|
- Got rid of the remaining dlp_ functions in code outside
|
|
of kpilotlink.cc and pilotSerialDatabase.cc. This leaves the pi_ stuff.
|
|
|
|
Development of KPilot is now done on a 80x25 serial terminal running at
|
|
38400 baud. I have no idea what kind of effect this will have, but it means
|
|
I can sit on the couch and do devel work :)
|
|
|
|
2002-02-02 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* lib/kpilotlink.{h,cc}
|
|
- Continue moving pilot-link related things (pi_*) into the KPilotLink
|
|
class, so that Dag might have an easier time of it.
|
|
* lib/options.cc
|
|
- Removed some messy #ifdef DEBUG stuff, with debugging enabled
|
|
call tracing is now default on.
|
|
* kpilot/logWidget.cc
|
|
- Added some text stating that KPilot is really alpha. No-one will read
|
|
this, of course, and it will only piss off the translators.
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for january 25th 2002
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
Found my Pilot again, made tea, thought about Dag's and Neil's comments
|
|
on ColdSync (I still believe that ColdSync has the drawback that it's not
|
|
meant to be a library you can build on, it resembles the pilot-xfer tools
|
|
much more than anything else). Grepped for dlp_ in the sources. They seem
|
|
fairly isolated, which is good -- maybe we *can* move to some other Pilot
|
|
access method.
|
|
|
|
Looked at some old sources. *uuuuugly*. PilotRecord, PilotAppCategory,
|
|
PilotTodoEntry, etc. could use a good dose of sanity.
|
|
|
|
2002-01-21 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* conduits/vcalconduit/*
|
|
- Some serious rewriting going on.
|
|
* kpilot/hotSync.cc
|
|
- Removed old KPilotLink code
|
|
- Moved calls from dlp_OpenConduit to KPilotDeviceLink::openConduit()
|
|
* lib/syncAction.h lib/kpilotlink.{h,cc}
|
|
- Added openConduit to abstract the underlying lib interface more.
|
|
* kpilot/logWidget.cc
|
|
- suppress empty log lines.
|
|
* lib/pilotLocalDatabase.{h,cc}
|
|
- Added a hook for UserCheck to set the default search path for
|
|
databases opened by name only.
|
|
|
|
It's time to say hi, welcome, and thanks to a couple of new people on
|
|
the KPilot / kde-pim team. There's Chris Abiad, who has already made his
|
|
presence felt on the mailing list. Thanks for fielding questions for
|
|
me, Chris, and stalling on the question of when the next release is.
|
|
Chris will also be maintaining the website. Next up is Stephanie Bryant,
|
|
a writer of technical documentation. She'll be helping me document the
|
|
various files in kpilot/lib so that they actually form an understandable
|
|
and usable API for third-party conduit-writers. Philipp Hullmann, you
|
|
should be overjoyed to hear this :) Once she's practiced on KPilot, Steph
|
|
will be leaving us for kdelibs, where weird and wonderful things await ...
|
|
|
|
2002-01-25 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* *.ui
|
|
- Danimo was wondering why we use ToolTips everywhere instead of WhatsThis.
|
|
My answer was "because we knew about QToolTip before QWhatsThis." Anyway,
|
|
switching over to the correct form of on-line help is a simple search-
|
|
and-replace thing. So that has happened. David, can you keep that in
|
|
mind as well?
|
|
* kpilot/pilotDaemon.{h,cc} kpilot/Icons/
|
|
- Minor changes to get the daemon's icons to display properly.
|
|
- Woo.. the busysync icon is *ugly*. Partly fixed, and I hope Kristof
|
|
can do something about it sometime. Really we need the icon in 4 rotated
|
|
states (well, maybe 2) to indicate activity during the sync.
|
|
- Of course the daemon was exiting after each sync .. I forgot to initialize
|
|
fQuitAfterSync (which isn't used, BTW, except if you use DCOP to call
|
|
quitNow()) to false.
|
|
* kpilot/kpilot.cc
|
|
- Forgot to inform daemon of changing settings.
|
|
* kpilot/syncStack.cc
|
|
- All conduits now put *something* in the Sync log.
|
|
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for january 20th 2002
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
It's been a slightly sleepy time. Some rocky backporting has occurred,
|
|
though, as KDE3-isms sneak into the codebase and break my compiles at
|
|
home. At work, though, I've switched to KDE3 and it's really nice.
|
|
Now if only I could release a version of KPilot that works before KDE3
|
|
comes out and makes all this compatibility effort moot ...
|
|
|
|
2002-01-15 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* conduits/vcalconduit/*
|
|
- Class Recurrence is the KDE3 name of class KORecurrence. Where the
|
|
libkcal API has changed, added #ifdefs to use the right one, and
|
|
#define Recurrence KORecurrence when compiling under KDE2.
|
|
2002-01-16 David Bishop
|
|
* *.ui
|
|
- Added <qt>'s to all tooltips, neatness fixes.
|
|
2002-01-16 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* lib/options.{h,cc}
|
|
- Added support for both ostream and kdbgstream << QSize to avoid
|
|
plugin crashes when the plugin is compiled with different DEBUG_CERR
|
|
settings from libkpilot.
|
|
2002-01-19 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Documentation
|
|
- Added a warning "Docs out of date" to the docs, adapted all the top-level
|
|
README &c. files to reflect the current situation.
|
|
2002-01-20 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* lib/pilotLocalDatabase.{h,cc}
|
|
- Added new constructor that doesn't take a path, but just uses the
|
|
application-instance database directory.
|
|
* lib/plugin.{h,cc}
|
|
- Added isRunning() to PluginUtility, since several conduits need to
|
|
know if the application they are syncing is already running or not.
|
|
* conduits/knotes/knotes-action.{h,cc}
|
|
- Replaced knotesRunning by call to isRunning();
|
|
* conduits/vcalconduit/*
|
|
- Started a real re-write of the vcal conduit (what??!)
|
|
* TODO
|
|
- Updated the TODO list with some concrete stuff.
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for december 31st 2001
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
Time to go out with a bang, eh.
|
|
|
|
Fixing the VCal conduits so they actually do a sync was a fair bit of
|
|
work, partly because it was so weirdly crufty, partly because of the
|
|
peculiar separation of the todo from the vcal conduit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-12-28 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* conduits/vcalconduit/vcalBase.{h,cc}
|
|
* conduits/vcalconduit/vcal-conduit.{h,cc}
|
|
* conduits/vcalconduit/todo-conduit.{h,cc}
|
|
- Well, it compiles now.
|
|
* lib/plugin.{h,cc}
|
|
- Added isBackup() so that conduits can now also do their own
|
|
backups. Note that conduits aren't called (yet) during a backup
|
|
action.
|
|
* conduits/popmail/*
|
|
- Why the heck does this (still) use FILE *?
|
|
- It compiles and there is a sync action.
|
|
|
|
Next up is checking out kpilotTest and making sure that it does sensible
|
|
things, like closing the device handle, allowing multiple syncs, and
|
|
running file install correctly. After that, testing testing testing.
|
|
|
|
2001-12-28 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilot/main-test.cc
|
|
- Added one-letter cmd-line-options, sanity checking.
|
|
- Switched to SyncStack integrated syncing (see below).
|
|
* kpilot/main-config.cc
|
|
- Removed unused new-style option.
|
|
* kpilot/syncStack.{h,cc}
|
|
- New files encapsulating sync sequence knowledge.
|
|
|
|
2001-12-29 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilot/pilotDaemon.{h,cc}
|
|
- Switched to SyncStack.
|
|
* lib/kpilotlink.cc
|
|
- Work around an off-by-one bug in pilot-link versions < 0.9.6.
|
|
* kpilot/interactiveSync.cc
|
|
- Added support for don't ask again in the check-user questions.
|
|
This changes the API of questionYesNo, but only inserts a
|
|
(defaulted) parameter, so "regular" calls of this should be
|
|
unaffected.
|
|
|
|
The GUI isn't updated at all (?) during a backup action. Hmph. Well, only
|
|
between databases, but that's not much. The backup appears to work, which
|
|
is a good thing. Gonna hafta try the restore action soon ;)
|
|
|
|
2001-12-29 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* conduits/null/null-*.{h,cc}
|
|
- Fixed some configuration load / restore / use bugs.
|
|
Moved configuration keys to the factory.
|
|
* kpilot/syncStack.{h,cc}
|
|
- The conduit proxy action also needs to proxy the messages from the conduit.
|
|
I never knew connect(p,SIGNAL(),q,SIGNAL()) worked! Wow.
|
|
* kpilot/logWidget.{h,cc}
|
|
- Added missing slot for logProgress.
|
|
|
|
Aieee! I'm becoming a kate user, vi is suffering from abandonment on my
|
|
devel box. This is troubling -- using the software you write. Heck, next
|
|
thing you know, I'll be using KPilot to sync my Pilot. Ewwwww.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-12-29 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilot/conduitConfigDialog.{h,cc}
|
|
- Removed old Exec= style conduits entirely. They're warned for now.
|
|
* conduits/abbrowserconduit/*
|
|
- See conduit run. See DrKonqui. Whee! Oh, and this *one* conduit has
|
|
a name of the form bla_conduit, while all others are bla-conduit. Yay.
|
|
See pointer get used before initialization. Cool! It crashes elsewhere.
|
|
Isn't delayed loading great? __rs__FR11QDataStreamRt5QDict1Z12ContactEntry
|
|
And ... that was fucking amazing. Greg, you da man.
|
|
|
|
OK, so that one also runs to completion, at least the first time. It looks
|
|
like FirstTime isn't being turned off like it should, so I'll do that by
|
|
hand. OK, changes get copied from the Pilot to KAddressbook ok, but the
|
|
conduit seems to read *all* records from the Pilot, not just the modified
|
|
ones. That's bad for the batteries. Oh well, I'm just so happy it works
|
|
that I'll move on to the next conduit and deal with bugs tomorrow.
|
|
* conduits/expense/*
|
|
- Seems to work fine.
|
|
* conduits/knotes/*
|
|
- Undefined symbols ... man, I (semi) hate libtool libraries.
|
|
See, I just left some essential code *out* here, and thus libtool
|
|
thinks it'll be resolved later. Ha!
|
|
|
|
OK, it at least copies new KNotes to the Pilot. That's enough for now.
|
|
* conduits/popmail/*
|
|
- Um, does this actually *do* anything? OK, config fixes, dcop fixes ...
|
|
and voila, a message shows up in the outbox of KMail. So let's call
|
|
sending via KMail a success and have a cup of tea.
|
|
* conduits/vcalconduit/*
|
|
- Now things get hairy / exciting. Let's start with the ToDo conduit:
|
|
|
|
kpilotTest: WARNING: [void ConduitProxy::exec()] : Can't create SyncAction.
|
|
|
|
Very wise. Of course, the code to create a conduit is not in the
|
|
factory. Brilliant! Nothing a little cut-n-paste can't cure, and
|
|
configure, and .. DrKonqui. Did some indenting, my brain hurts from
|
|
trying to (a) understand this (b) fix all the memory leaks. Rewrite?
|
|
- VCalConduit: it doesn't crash, but it's probably going to read all
|
|
the things from my Pilot and install them in KOrganizer with a date
|
|
of 0000/00/00 (from looking at the debug messages as they fly by).
|
|
And .. whump, KOrganizer now can't read the .ics file anymore.
|
|
|
|
*Every* sync, KPilot tells me that the name in the pilot is different
|
|
from the name in KPilot. Gotta fix that.
|
|
|
|
2001-12-30 Aaron J Seigo
|
|
* kpilot/logWidget.cc
|
|
* kpilot/kpilot.cc
|
|
- Paint the KPilot version number in the splash screen.
|
|
|
|
2001-12-30 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* conduits/vcalconduit/vcal-conduit.cc
|
|
* conduits/vcalconduit/vcalBase.cc
|
|
- Removed some __FUNCTION__ things, added #ifdef DEBUG to debug code.
|
|
In some other files, too.
|
|
- The code in vcalBase.cc is in heavy need of an invocation of indent.
|
|
It's horrible and ugly in other ways, too, but this is a start.
|
|
|
|
2001-12-31 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
Some general polishing of ToolTips &c.
|
|
|
|
* kpilot/*
|
|
- Added Kristof's icon for the file installer. It's still a preliminary
|
|
version, though.
|
|
- TODO: after reconfiguring the username, re-initialize all components
|
|
in kpilot, to get the new databases.
|
|
- Switched the ToolTips in the address viewer to use <qt>
|
|
- TODO: ditch the toolbar; perhaps add the select-kind-of-sync
|
|
functionality to the logWidget.
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for december 27th 2001
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
So I never posted the previous notes. And besides Maarten's little comment
|
|
on the odd jobs, no response either --- but then again, it was Xmas and
|
|
maybe people had more important things to do. I know I had enough dinners
|
|
that I can fast & hack for the rest of the week.
|
|
|
|
Things fixed now:
|
|
|
|
* conduits/vcalconduit/
|
|
- All the configuration dialogs now look ok, after a little fiddling
|
|
about with the .ui files, and the configuration is saved as well.
|
|
A sync is out of the question right now.
|
|
|
|
Yet another odd job: someone (David?) needs to check all the ToolTips
|
|
in the .ui files for the conduits with Qt *2*'s designer. And we need
|
|
to check that all the configurations are in fact saved properly. Testers?
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for december 23rd 2001
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
HoHoHo. Let's look back in the ChangeLog to see where we were one year ago.
|
|
Struggling with the vcal conduit (it's *still* wonky); missing the 2.1
|
|
release deadine (was it that long ago?); cleaning up code.
|
|
|
|
In these complex modern final days, (to quote Pogo), what's up?
|
|
|
|
2001-12-18 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* conduits/expense/*
|
|
* conduits/null/*
|
|
- These two conduits now have a full configure dialog that's sized
|
|
correctly (afaict without messing around with font settings), that
|
|
saves the settings, and have a working sync action. Whee!
|
|
|
|
2001-12-20 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* conduits/abbrowser/*
|
|
- This conduit now has a working config dialog and does a sync, although
|
|
I haven't really looked at the sync code itself to check for bugs.
|
|
* conduits/knotes/*
|
|
- Ditto; it configures and syncs, although the sync is rather sparse.
|
|
I discovered that const char * const is a useful type, though. It saves
|
|
an accessor function for KConfig entry keys.
|
|
|
|
The bad conduits:
|
|
|
|
* conduits/popmail/*
|
|
- Still no .ui file and not many tooltips, but you *can* configure
|
|
this conduit. No sync though.
|
|
* conduits/todoconduit/
|
|
- This one is seriously deprecated and I'll try to remove it soon.
|
|
* conduits/vcalconduit/*
|
|
- It's got a .ui file which is used badly and which is missing layouts.
|
|
Not a hint of saving configurations though.
|
|
|
|
OPEN JOBS:

Are you bored? Is your love life lackluster? Do you want to MAKE MONEY FAST?
|
|
Do you want to FIND OUT WHAT MICROSOFT DOESNT WANT YOU to KNOW? ... um ...
|
|
back to reality: If you'd like to help out with KPilot but don't really know
|
|
where to start, and would like to get a little acquainted with the code,
|
|
the coding style, and some of the conventions used in KPilot, read on!
|
|
If you have grep and a text editor, read on!
|
|
|
|
The code, and particularly the debugging code, has gone though a number
|
|
of phases. For a while, there was that --debug 1023 stuff. I've decided
|
|
that that's actually kinda cumbersome for a GUI program, and debugging
|
|
has switched back to an all-or-nothing kinda thing. So some things need
|
|
to be changed all over the source code, and that's just the kind of
|
|
exploratory job for someone with grep and vi. In particular:
|
|
|
|
* kdDebug() everywhere needs to change into DEBUGCONDUIT, DEBUGKPILOT,
|
|
or one of the other DEBUG* macros defined in kpilot/lib/options.h.
|
|
This will send the debugging output to the sensible debug area.
|
|
Which one you choose depends on where the file lives -- choose wisely.
|
|
|
|
* DEBUG* calls everywhere need to be surrounded by #ifdef DEBUG #endif.
|
|
This is because some compilers don't optimize away unused strings,
|
|
leading to big bulky (well, sorta) executables. Adding the #ifdefs
|
|
makes sure that there's nothing at all left over from the debugging code
|
|
when debugging is turned off.
|
|
|
|
* __FUNCTION__ needs to be replaced by k_funcinfo. The popmail conduit is
|
|
bad for that one, at the very least.
|
|
|
|
* if (debug_level) and its cousin if (debug_level & SOMETHING) need to be
|
|
removed, along with the set of brackets they introduce. The debugging
|
|
statement (usually just a kdDebug() << whatever << endl;) needs to be
|
|
out-dented one tabstop, to line it up properly.
|
|
|
|
These are, in one sense, rotten little jobs. But they'll take you to all
|
|
the corners of the KPilot code, show you some ugly (and some not-so-ugly)
|
|
code, and give you a feel for "the lay of the land." After that, fixing
|
|
all the remaining off-by-one bugs in the vcal conduit should be a breeze.

KPilot Developer's notes for december 16th 2001
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
Worked on some conduits for danimo, who has UI updates. So more conduits
|
|
compile now, but I haven't tested them. However, they do get installed
|
|
if you do make install, and they may eat your Pilot, you Buick, or New York
|
|
when run. USE EXTREME CAUTION.
|
|
|
|
I think the NULL conduit is safe, though :)
|
|
|
|
Abbrowser Conduit: it compiles, and it has but a setup dialog and a
|
|
sync part which has not been tested at all.
|
|
|
|
* Makefile.am
|
|
- Fixed up includes, removed old PISOCK_INCLUDE.
|
|
* abbrowser-conduit.cc
|
|
- Changed kdDebug() to DEBUGCONDUIT, applied indent style, #ifdef DEBUGs
|
|
- Replaced static QString objects by const char * (KConfig keys)
|
|
- Removed old files
|
|
- Assume FirstTime is always *true*, this is at least partly broken,
|
|
but it makes the conduit compile at least.
|
|
|
|
The other conduits all compile and have config dialogs but don't do anything.
|
|
|
|
And in other news, little bugfixes and other neat stuff sometimes shows up
|
|
in my mailbox. Martin Junius is a long-time contributor, and he's volunteered
|
|
(again) to make new KPilot rpms for RH 7.2 once the system is stable again.
|
|
|
|
* kpilot/addressWidget.cc
|
|
setupWidget() - Martin Junius found a display bug and sent a patch.
|
|
* conduits/vcalconduit/vcal-conduit.cc
|
|
setRepetition() - Philipp Hullmann noticed that the Pilot's week starts
|
|
on day 0 = sunday, and in KDE day 0 = monday.
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for december 2nd 2001
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
More work on the expense conduit. In conduits/expense:
|
|
|
|
* setupDialog.h
|
|
- Added an #include <qwidget.h> to make header self-contained.
|
|
* setupDialog.cc
|
|
- Disabled MySQL button, since there's no code to make it work.
|
|
- Disabled "logRotate" stuff, since I can't remember what was
|
|
wanted there and there's no code for it.
|
|
* expense.cc
|
|
- Reordered #includes, removed extra #ifdeffing. Removed extra #includes.
|
|
- Split up actions into CSV, MySQL and Postgres specific parts.
|
|
- Made the other-db methods also write CSV files if needed.
|
|
- Support both overwrite and append modes for CSV.
|
|
- TODO: create the mysql code.
|
|
- TODO: patch possible security hole in echo passwd |
|
|
- TODO: spawn fewer processes for psql.
|
|
- TODO? use klocale's date formatting, not US-specific code.
|
|
* expense.h
|
|
- Changes reflecting the above, and
|
|
- Documenting what's going on.
|
|
|
|
In other news:
|
|
|
|
* conduits/knotes/knotes-action.cc
|
|
listNotes() - Removed spurious #ifdef DEBUG. Test mode should always work.
|
|
|
|
And oh, wow, thanks to messing around with the logWidget for KPilot,
|
|
KPilotTest now also has a funky splash screen :)
|
|
|
|
* kpilot/main-test.cc
|
|
main() - connect signals from the test action to the log widget.
|
|
|

===============================================

More work on the Expense conduit.
|
|
|
|
In other news:
|
|
|
|
* kpilot/logWidget.{h,cc}
|
|
Nifty feature for the sync log: clear the log. Save the log. ToolTips.
|
|
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for november 18th 2001
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
Kudos to Marko Hollomon for spotting a pointer error in the KPilot daemon
|
|
and fixing it. The patch changes pilotDaemon.{h,cc}.
|
|
|
|
Thanks too to Palle Girgensohn, who made an icon for the internal memo-
|
|
viewer and the KNotes conduit. This looks really neat in the new IconView
|
|
mode of the main KJanusWidget.
|
|
|
|
Shuffling the DCOP interfaces and cleaning up the UI, by [ade]:
|
|
|
|
* logWidget.{h,cc}
|
|
Made the splash more like a splash, removed some ugliness, moved the
|
|
progress bar into the SyncLog widget.
|
|
* kpilotDCOP.h
|
|
Removed the spurious filesChanged() call -- use KDirWatcher instead.
|
|
* kpilot.{h,cc}
|
|
Removed the inheritance from kpilotDCOP.h, moved the DCOP interface to
|
|
LogWidget. Removed the status bar, since it's all in the LogWidget anyway.
|
|
* pilotDaemon.cc
|
|
Renamed KPilotDCOP interface, removed filesChanged DCOP signal.
|
|
* Makefile.am
|
|
Now logWidget requires kpilotDCOP, so moved that.
|
|
|
|
Now that conduits are .so's, the conduitConfigDialog needs to have some
|
|
strings changed to reflect that they're not executed anymore [ade].
|
|
|
|
* conduitConfigDialog.{h,cc}
|
|
Added a warnNoLibrary function, moved warnings to Qt richtext.
|
|
|
|
The FileInstallerWidget has some lousy strings with \n, and it needs
|
|
a KDirWatcher [ade].
|
|
|
|
* fileInstallWidget.{h,cc}
|
|
Changed the i18n strings to remove \n's. The Watcher remains a TODO.
|
|
|
|
Attacked the expense conduit, finally. Maybe *this* one won't run aground on
|
|
things like fundamental API changes in the stuff it syncs against.
|
|
|
|
* Makefile.am
|
|
Removed spurious LIBPISOCK_PATH, moved files around a little.
|
|
* setupDialog.{h,cc}
|
|
Ported to UIDialog classes, layout fixups. This is the one conduit that
|
|
still uses hard-coded layouts. It's possible, see? This isn't really the
|
|
way to go, I'd much rather have David B. make dialogs with Qt designer.
|
|
Added a break; in ExpenseDBPage::slotPolicyChanged() to avoid warnings.
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for november 11th 2001
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
Much messing-about with hardware, OSsen and the like has delayed many
|
|
things. I've discovered that the configure.in.in and Makefile.am for
|
|
KPilot were really badly broken under anything non-Linux.
|
|
|
|
* configure.in.in
|
|
Possibly fixed all kinds of shell-script breakage (under Solaris)
|
|
and not-finding pilot-link under FreeBSD. You will have to pass in
|
|
the --with-extra-libs and --with-extra-includes flags; configure now
|
|
looks there correctly.
|
|
* All the Makefile.am's
|
|
Removed the extra spurious $(LIBPISOCK_PATH) which was breaking
|
|
things under FreeBSD.
|
|
* lib/uiDialog.{h,cc}
|
|
Added a virtual bool function validate() so that when Okaying a
|
|
dialog, you can check first for valid settings. The default implementation
|
|
is return true;
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotConfigDialog.{h,cc}
|
|
Added validate(), check that string for Pilot device doesn't overflow
|
|
the buffer for it. Also enforce the length restriction for the device
|
|
name. This is all conditioned on pilot-link < 1.0.0.
|
|
* kpilot/kpilot.{h,cc}
|
|
Use a KJanusWidget instead of a QWidgetStack and deprecate the View
|
|
menu to make it clearer which views / actions / things KPilot actually
|
|
*has*. Moved the Spash Screen to the log widget, and made it a real splash.
|
|
|
|
|

KPilot Developer's notes for october 28th 2001
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
So fun to have distributions release broken versions of an application.
|
|
It sometimes makes me wish I didn't have to commit stuff to CVS at all
|
|
until the application is totally right according to me (which is then
|
|
sure to run into trouble with the KDE release schedule).
|
|
|
|
Another fun thing is wrestling with broken hardware. But it's finally fixed
|
|
now. So I hope the pace picks up again now. I've been working on the
|
|
abbrowser conduti sporadically, so we now have at least three conduits
|
|
partially ported to the new setup.

Since to do the popmail conduit I first need to learn about IOSlaves
|
|
and the KNotes conduit is hard, I spent some time playing with the
|
|
abbrowser / KAddressbook conduit.
|
|
|
|
* conduits/abbrowser/*
|
|
() Removed all the old files for the setup dialog, now using David Bishop's
|
|
.ui files with some polish from me (like putting his name in the "Author"
|
|
field in the .ui file).
|
|
() Fixed up the Makefile.am to make the library and the test apps.
|
|
() Added a factory function.
|
|
() Removed all the palettes from the deconflict dialog. This takes 150k out
|
|
of the .ui file. Next challenge is to make it respect the KDE system
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
2001-10-20 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
Worse is when your AGP bus turns out to be broken instead.
|
|
|
|
* conduits/knotes/knotes-action.{h,cc}
|
|
() Added method resetIndexes which should be called at the end of every phase
|
|
of the sync, basically to reset the counter and list iterator to the
|
|
beginning of the list of KNotes.
|
|
() Added method modifyNoteOnPilot which does the modified-notes-to Pilot
|
|
work. It isn't very robust yet, since it doesn't handle weird cases
|
|
(modified yet unknown on Pilot, for example) at all.
|
|
|

Dern. Having your video card break and being thrown back to a 4MB SiS card
|
|
fit only for a firewall with no monitor is *no* fun. Where's a 24-hour
|
|
computer store when you need one? Not only that, but I realise I'm
|
|
going to have to put some serious thought into the KNotes conduit and
|
|
how it is supposed to sync. So since that's hard, I'm going to look at
|
|
the Mail conduit instead, since the functionality there is pretty much
|
|
complete.
|
|
|
|
2001-10-18 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
* kpilot/Icons/
|
|
() Incorporated most of Kristof Borrey's fantastic new icons for KPilot.
|
|
* conduits/knotes/
|
|
() Removed old files setupDialog.{h,cc}
|
|
* conduits/knotes/knotes-action.{h,cc}
|
|
() Added new function getConfigInfo that reads the config file for
|
|
the lists of Ids (matching KNote ids to memo ids).
|
|
|
|
2001-10-16 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
* lib/options.h
|
|
Upped the version number to 4.2.9b just because.
|
|
* kpilot/kpilot.cc
|
|
Changed some credits around, copyright notice, etc.
|
|
* kpilot/Makefile.am kpilot/Makefile-standalone
|
|
Fixed some breakage caused by all the moving around of files. You may
|
|
need to make clean ; make in KPilot some time to get things back to normal.

Well, the b-day party got in the way of actually releasing something,
|
|
and there's quite a lot of polish still to apply -- ie. the KNotes conduit
|
|
still does nothing more than install new notes to the Pilot. So I'm going
|
|
to start keeping the TODO list more up to date, including assignments for
|
|
various people, and keeping the ChangeLog more up-to-date according to
|
|
the ChangeLog standard, instead of these long rambling stories.
|
|
|
|
2001-10-14 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
Whee! It's KDE's birthday today. What a fitting day to finally release
|
|
a version of KPilot that actually works, has useful features, and
|
|
doesn't gum up your Pilot hopelessly.
|
|
|
|
2001-10-10 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
* Actually add new KNotes to the memo pad. This means conduit syncing is
|
|
actually coming closer. Works from kpilotTest.
|
|
* Renamed --test --list in kpilotTest, added option --notest to force a
|
|
conduit to *really* run (may be hazardous!) from the tester.
|
|
* Moved many things into lib/ -- whatever is shared between KPilot and
|
|
conduits, basically.
|
|
* Wow! There's stuff in PilotAddress I'd never noticed before that deserves
|
|
to be moved to a superclass -- like setCategory. Kudos to Greg.
|
|
* Updated the TODO list.
|
|
* Added a nicer credits section in the about page of dialogs.
|
|
|
|
2001-10-09 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
* nothing! Fixed old compile issues on KDE 2.2 iob Solaris.
|
|
|
|
2001-10-08 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
* Added lots of things in lib/ to enforce some kind of uniformity on
|
|
conduits and factories. Utility functions, too.
|
|
* Added an app-icon for the KNotes conduit. It's ugly as all get-out.
|
|
* Added a test-conduits and a list-conduits mode to kpilotTest.
|
|
* Went back and tested all the stuff we already had, since this
|
|
re-architecting carries risks. This showed that not everything had
|
|
gone right: I'd lost track of the pilot socket somewhere. Hmph.
|
|
Two rounds of re-writing headers, all the parameters finally end
|
|
up in the right place.
|
|
* The knotes conduit now lists new knotes but doesn't install them.
|
|
|

=============================================
|
|
|

Ah, post-KDE3-alpha1. And that when KPilot remains completely 2.1 and 2.2
|
|
compatible. A new release of KPilot for 2.2 is imminent, say oct. 14th or so.
|
|
KDE 2.2.2 was just released, but contains no changes to KPilot at all --
|
|
all the bugfixes were not of the kind that would fit in the 2.2.2 plan.
|
|
|
|
2001-10-07 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
Hmm. Missed a few days. What I remember:
|
|
|
|
* Implemented the Null- and KNotes-conduits setup dialogs in plugin
|
|
libraries using David's UI files. That was fun and easy to do.
|
|
* Make the new-style conduit configurator handle plugin libraries.
|
|
This was less fun, but it works. I haven't had any feedback on
|
|
which of the two config dialogs is easier to use, but right now
|
|
I'm leaning towards the new-style one (two columns + some buttons,
|
|
just like it was *long* ago.) D'nD would be nice though.
|
|
* The new-style thingy doesn't handle saving which conduits are enabled.
|
|
* Made a new subdir lib/, since the plugins need to share some code
|
|
with KPilot and you need a .so to make it link properly.
|
|
* Wrestled with sensible layout of the about page.
|
|
|
|
2001-10-01 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
* Picked up David's new UI file for the conduit configuration dialog
|
|
and gave that a whirl. The results can be found in kpilotConfig,
|
|
use --help to find out which options to use.
|
|

================================================

|
|
|
2001-09-30 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
Last minute sneak-it-in-for-the-alpha things. More code and layout cleanup,
|
|
although the big commit changing to tabs & the KPilot style was yesterday.
|
|
Fixed some minor display bugs, made preHotSync more useful, normalized
|
|
some strings. The kpilot/Icons/ directory now contains only those icons
|
|
actually needed and used, and they're all in PNG format. Saves lots of space,
|
|
in the sense that the KPilot binary is 300k smaller now than it was, due to
|
|
dumping XPMs.
|
|
|
|
I added a private-d-ptr to kpilot.h, but haven't moved all the data
|
|
members there. For an app it doesn't matter so much, but this will reduce
|
|
the amount of recompiling and who knows what the plugin API will look like
|
|
eventually.
|
|
|
|
The conduit configuration is different -- again -- and easier to understand.
|
|
|
|
2001-09-27 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* Added FUNCTIONSETUP everywhere.
|
|
* Replaced email addresses with kde-pim@kde.org or groot@kde.org.
|
|
* Removed qDebug everywhere.
|
|
|
|
2001-09-26 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
* Surrounded much debugging output with #ifdef DEBUG.
|
|
* Replaced remaining calls to kdDebug() by macros with debug areas.
|
|
* Applied indent everywhere.
|
|
* Added some () where needed to resolve ambiguity.
|
|
|
|
2001-09-25 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
Wrestled with crashes (cerr << i ; debugstatement ; cerr << i ; gave
|
|
two different values for i) caused by mixing debug conde and non-debug
|
|
code. Discovered that qglobal.h defines DEBUG unless NO_DEBUG is
|
|
set. Hmph. Also found that gcc does a poor job in optimizing away
|
|
debugging statements with NDEBUG defined. Therefore, debugging statements
|
|
will be once again surrounded by #ifdefs. The plan is that I'll get all
|
|
the code formatting and this kind of silly issues out of the way in the
|
|
next few days and then start to deal with the next problem, namely the
|
|
existing conduits.
|
|
|
|
2001-09-24 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilot/uiDialog.{h,cc}
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotConfigDialog.cc
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotConfigDialog_base.ui
|
|
Minor changes to get the dialog to size correctly when other fonts / other
|
|
settings are used. This solves David's complaint about ugly dialogs.
|
|
* kpilot/hotSync.{h,cc}
|
|
() Removed lots of commented out code from previous incarnations.
|
|
() Added a cleanup action.
|
|
() Removed a heap-corruption bug caused by using QStringList & and
|
|
then deleting what it points to in FileInstallAction.
|
|
() Removed deadlock when last file to install couldn't be read.
|
|
() Moved RestoreAction to interactiveSync.{h,cc}, since I feel it
|
|
needs to ask "Are you sure?" at the very least.
|
|
* kpilot/interactiveSync.{h,cc}
|
|
New files with support for, and some types of, interactive syncing.
|
|
Used for asking the user questions during a sync, for example confirm
|
|
dialogs. This means we can now update user settings &c, since we needed
|
|
some interaction for that. Moved RestoreAction to here.
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotlink.{h,cc}
|
|
Made exec() pure virtual for SyncActions, since that makes more sense
|
|
than having an empty default action.
|
|
* kpilot/Makefile.am
|
|
Added interactiveSync.cc to the list of sources.
|
|
* kpilot/pilotUser.h
|
|
Squashed a buffer overflow. Squashed several buffer overflows. Yowk!
|
|
This code has been around since 1996?
|
|
* kpilot/main-test.h
|
|
Added some extra code to make the sync cleaner; handled the move of
|
|
RestoreAction.
|
|
|

KPilot Developer's notes for september 23rd 2001
|
|
================================================
|
|
|
|
My current development platform is RH 7.1 with KDE 2.1.1 -- even so I'm
|
|
committing things into HEAD. I'm sure this will explode sometime and
|
|
I'll be forced to upgrade to KDE 2.2 or worse, but for now, that's the
|
|
platform I'm aiming for.
|
|
|
|
I'd like to take a moment to thank David Bishop, for sending me .ui files,
|
|
for causing noise on the mailing lists, and for being a pleasure to work
|
|
with. Together we've wrestled with Qt designer, uic, and replacing the
|
|
KPilot dialogs with something sensible made with designer.
|
|
|
|
* kpilot/options.h
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotConfig.{h,cc}
|
|
* kpilot/kpilot.cc kpilot/kpilotDaemon.cc kpilot/main-*.cc
|
|
Factored out the --debug flags from each individual app, now in
|
|
options.cc. This means each file with a main() was modified too.
|
|
I must say it was a real bitch figuring out exactly which sequence of
|
|
calls were needed for KCmdLineArgs::addCmdLineOptions(), and then
|
|
finding out that ParsedArgs() also needed help.
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotDaemon.cc
|
|
Sneaking in the QStack<> stuff just under the wire was a bad idea.
|
|
Fixed an uninitialized pointer bug.
|
|
* kpilot/hotSync.cc
|
|
Fixed missing syncDone() signal in FileInstallAction; added some
|
|
logProgress() calls, extra debugging.
|
|
* kpilot/kpilot.cc
|
|
Added KillDaemonOnExit logic to KPilotInstaller.
|
|
|
|
2001-09-23 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilot/uiDialog.{h,cc}
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotConfigDialog.{h,cc}
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotConfigDialog_base.ui
|
|
New files -- the .ui file is from David Bishop -- re-implementing the
|
|
configuration dialog using modern technology. uiDialog.{h,cc} are
|
|
abstract base classes, suitable for reuse. kpilotConfigDialog.{h,cc}
|
|
contains the behavior of the dialog, and the .ui file the UI.
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotConfig.{h,cc}
|
|
Switched around #ifdef and #ifndef. This disabled setting debug levels
|
|
in code with debugging on. Duh. Getting it right then showed all kinds
|
|
of bugs in the other code. Added some documentation explaining possible
|
|
crashes due to missing KApplication instance.
|
|
FINALLY did something sensible about code duplication -- added get and
|
|
set methods to a subclass of KConfig for all KPilot settings.
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotOptions.{h,cc}
|
|
Is deprecated and removed. Say hello to the new world of .ui files.
|
|
* kpilot/kpilot.{h,cc}
|
|
* kpilot/memoWidget.cc
|
|
* kpilot/addressWidget.cc
|
|
* kpilot/conduitSetup.cc
|
|
Lots of little changes to reflect the KPilotConfig changes. Mostly
|
|
removing calls to setGroup() and readEntry(), which are now safely
|
|
encapsulated.
|
|
* kpilot/pilotDaemon.{h,cc}
|
|
* kpilot/pilotDaemonDCOP.h
|
|
Removed cruft, adapted to KPilotConfigSettings, and adapted to SyncActions.
|
|
Changed silly startHotSync(int) DCOP method to requestSync(int).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-09-21 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilot/hotSync.{h,cc}
|
|
Added an InstallFilesAction class, to run during a HotSync.
|
|
|
|
2001-09-20 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotlink.{h,cc}
|
|
* kpilot/main-test.{h,cc}
|
|
All these files changed because of yet another re-architecting. Now we
|
|
have HotSyncActions, which have direct access to the PilotDeviceLink,
|
|
and which do "something". The test action just lists the databases
|
|
present on the device. This has been tested with USB and with serial
|
|
devices.
|
|
* kpilot/hotSync.{h,cc}
|
|
Changed again to split the actions away from the device link (really,
|
|
how I ever decided on that is a mystery to me now).
|
|
* kpilot/Makefile-standalone
|
|
A Makefile that can be tweaked, that does not use autoconf, and is
|
|
useful for making standalone tarballs.
|
|
|
|
2001-09-17 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilot/Makefile-kpilotConfig
|
|
() New file for building a standalone config program.
|
|
* kpilot/main-config.{h,cc}
|
|
() New .h file, new classes for implementing some behavior. The behavior
|
|
is very minimal right now, but as an illustration for David (hey, now
|
|
he needs to learn C++ coding) it's fine.
|
|
* TODO
|
|
() Thought of lots of new things to do.
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for september 16th 2001
|
|
================================================
|
|
|
|
KPilot now compiles completely again, at least on a KDE 2.1.1 platform.
|
|
I'll check w/ KDE 2.2 as soon as I get that working here, and then we'll
|
|
take another look at Qt3 -- I saw Cornelius has already put some changes in.
|
|
|
|
2001-09-15 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* TODO
|
|
() Added a TODO file. I didn't copy all the TODO's from the ChangeLog
|
|
into it, though, since many make no sense right now.
|
|
|
|
2001-09-13 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotlink.{h,cc}
|
|
() Changed fTransientDevice into fDeviceType since we have lots of
|
|
variants to deal with.
|
|
() Added functions installFiles() and installFile() to handle
|
|
the installation (!) of files to the Pilot.
|
|
* kpilot/pilotDaemon.cc
|
|
() Finally dealt with all the changed classes and methods of the
|
|
device link.
|
|
(slotEndHotSync) No need to tell the link to end the Sync, since
|
|
it's the one that's telling *us*.
|
|
|
|
2001-09-08 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilot/options.h
|
|
() I've installed RH 7.1 and gone back to KDE 2.1.1. Whee. They've
|
|
somehow utterly broken kdDebug() and kdWarning(). Added compile flag
|
|
DEBUG_CERR to make all the debugging info go to cerr instead.
|
|
* kpilot/kpilot.cc
|
|
() Startup notification was added to startService...() in 2.2, so now
|
|
there's an #ifdef handling that case.
|
|
|
|
2001-09-07 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilot/pilotComponent.h
|
|
() Fixed up #ifdefs for new style
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotlink.h
|
|
() Make many data members private with protected access functions.
|
|
(statusString) Made into a virtual function.
|
|
|
|
2001-09-06 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
* kpilot/Makefile.am
|
|
() Forgot to add logWidget.cc to kpilot_SOURCES
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotOptions.cc
|
|
() Added more tooltips, switched most to <qt></qt> rich text.
|
|
() Changed default value for SyncFiles to true.
|
|
* kpilot/kpilotlink.{h,cc}
|
|
() Added new state CreatedSocket and member fRetries
|
|
(open) Allow for retries on pi_bind(), since it may fail on
|
|
USB style devices.
|
|
() Added ASSERT() and member fDeviceLink to enforce singleton=ness.
|
|
* kpilot/main-test.{h,cc}
|
|
() Added ASSERT() to enforce singleton-ness.
|
|
* kpilot/hotSync.{h,cc}
|
|
() New files, containing most of the old HotSync code from
|
|
kpilotlink.{h,cc}, now using the new KPilotDeviceLink base class.
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for september 5th 2001
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
It's tough keeping this ChangeLog up-to-date, since I'm doing
|
|
lots of work but not committing much to CVS. But I'll try to
|
|
keep things documented nonetheless.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-09-05 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
A new application, kpilotTest, has been added. It does a very basic
|
|
test of the pilot-link library and some device handling for KPilot.
|
|
It is *not* installed by default, since it's pretty much useless for
|
|
normal use, but useful to get some feedback about whether the
|
|
new architecture works as expected.
|
|
|
|
A new widget, LogWidget (logWidget.{h,cc}) is now included for, yup,
|
|
logging stuff. It's used to long things during a sync.
|
|
|
|
pilotListener is no longer built or needed.
|
|
|
|
A new application, kpilotConfig, has been added. It is not installed
|
|
by default. It just calls up a config dialog for KPilot, much like
|
|
kpilot --config does. It's useful mostly because it exercises a clear
|
|
subset of the code.
|
|
|
|
I've tooltipified (?) the whole hardware setup dialog. I think it really
|
|
needs more work, since the distribution of options is really unclear.
|
|
And why are exactly *these* things grouped together? The "Address" tab
|
|
really should go.
|
|
|
|
The compilation of everything besides kpilotTest and kpilotConfig
|
|
is now seriously broken (tm).
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for september 3rd 2001
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
Hoo doggies. This is a *big* set of changes. I finally sat down
|
|
to do some of the serious rework that KPilot has been needing for
|
|
a long time. In essence:
|
|
|
|
* Use DCOP for as much communication as possible, and
|
|
* Support USB devices and other transient device nodes.
|
|
|
|
Basically PilotDaemon and KPilotLink have been completely rewritten.
|
|
|
|
What more is there to say? Almost every file has changed, even the
|
|
coding guidelines have been relaxed (I'm not going to put #ifdefs
|
|
around #include anymore, not since it turns out that the gnu cpp
|
|
handles this situation efficiently anyway).
|
|
|
|
Comments and documentation in most files have been vastly improved.
|
|
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for august 27th 2001
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
Hm. Long time no notes. Which is not to say that nothing happened,
|
|
since while I was away at a conference in Finland I dropped in at
|
|
Marko G's place (see patches listed way down below) and we had a great
|
|
time talking about KPilot, hacking, etc. I forget what I patched
|
|
there, though.
|
|
|
|
2001-08-27 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
* kpilot/addressWidget.*
|
|
Fixed up Martin's patch to make it comply with the KPilot coding
|
|
style, added some more docs, did a bunch of re-layouting. I read
|
|
somewhere that there is a direct correlation between shoddy indenting
|
|
style and bug density.
|
|
* kpilot/pilotDaemon.h
|
|
Added a missing class declaration for KServerSocket.
|
|
* kpilot/kpilot.{h,cc}
|
|
Removed all remaining KPilotLink cruft. KPilot now communicates with
|
|
the daemon through DCOP only.
|
|
|
|
Still very much on the TODO list:
|
|
- actually make the daemon quit when that's relevant
|
|
- ditch pilotListener (backport from kitchensync)
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for august 2nd 2001
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
Vacation good. Bugs bad. Received a wonderful patch in the mail from
|
|
Martin Junius, which proves once again that he's really dedicated to
|
|
making KPilot look good and work well. Martin's patch "pushes the envelope"
|
|
udirng the freeze, so it may not get in into KDE 2.2.
|
|
|
|
2001-08-01 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
* kpilot/pilotDaemon.cc
|
|
(PilotSystemTray) Fix for bug #29764 -- I'd forgotten to initialize some
|
|
pointers in the constuctor again.
|
|
* conduits/abbrowser/abbrowser-conduit.cc
|
|
(main) Workaround for bug #28104 allowing abbrowser to start from the conduit.
|
|
* conduits/abbrowser/Makefile.am
|
|
Minuscule change enabling --enable-final builds here.
|
|
|
|
2001-07-23 Martin Junius <mj@m-j-s.net>
|
|
|
|
* kpilot/addressEditor.cc (MakeField, MakeFieldL): removed i18n(),
|
|
now done in initLayout().
|
|
(initLayout): use i18n() for label strings passed to
|
|
MakeField. This is IMHO a cleaner approach than using I18N_NOOP()
|
|
as before.
|
|
(phoneLabelText): new function, get text for phone label,
|
|
basically fAppInfo->phoneLabels[] featuring some sanity checking.
|
|
(fillFields): use phoneLabelText().
|
|
(initLayout): dito.
|
|
(initLayout): argument addressInfo removed, no longer needed.
|
|
|
|
2001-07-21 Martin Junius <mj@m-j-s.net>
|
|
|
|
* kpilot/addressEditor.cc (initLayout): use m_phoneLabel[] for
|
|
display phone labels because this change from entry to entry and
|
|
cannot be set to fixed texts.
|
|
(fillFields): update phone labels for editor dialog.
|
|
(initLayout): reworked and hopefully ;-) improved spacing.
|
|
|
|
* kpilot/addressWidget.cc (setupWidget): replaced QMultiLineEdit
|
|
with QTextView for address info widget.
|
|
(slotShowAddress): function totally rewritten to use QTextView
|
|
and the Qt pseudo-XHTML code for formatted display of the
|
|
address entry. The sequence and formatting is more or less what
|
|
my Palm IIIxe does.
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for june 15th 2001
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
The 2.2b1 tarballs are packaged real soon now. Whee!
|
|
This marks the release of KPilot 4.2.3 (KDE 2.2, third
|
|
subpackage release (alpha1, alpha2, beta1)). This version
|
|
scheme makes it much easier to keep track of what was
|
|
released when.
|
|
|
|
Many bugs were fixed after Cornelius sent a message
|
|
asking about the KPilot code; the abbrowser conduit
|
|
has been renamed the KAddressBook conduit (it's still in
|
|
conduits/abbrowser), some little stuff in the vcal conduit
|
|
was fixed, much dead code was removed from KPilot and
|
|
some code was simplified.
|
|
|
|
Cornelius' mail also somehow pushed me into reading the
|
|
KDE-PIM server suggestions. I'm sure you've noticed how
|
|
much mail *that* has caused.
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for june 5th 2001
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
[ade]: Well, I'm back from my conference -- which was pretty neat -- and lo!
|
|
In my mailbox are many patches to be applied. Thanks guys. This keeps
|
|
KPilot moving forward even when all of the "regular" developers are
|
|
doing silly things (like moving).
|
|
|
|
2001-06-05 Palle Girgensohn
|
|
|
|
* */Makefile.am
|
|
I had to tweak some Makefiles to get kpilot working on FreeBSD.
|
|
KPilot must include LIBPISOCK_PATH in its INCLUDES setup.
|
|
[Newer CVS versions already did, but I would like to note my
|
|
appreciation for sent-in patches that aid in portability -- ade]
|
|
|
|
2001-06-02 Philipp Hullmann
|
|
|
|
* conduits/vcalconduit/*.{h,cc}
|
|
This is a new version of my large todoconduit/vcalconduit patch,
|
|
hopefully more suitable for human consumption than the previous one. It
|
|
mostly splits the large sync functions into smaller pieces, simplifies the
|
|
code for recurring events a lot, and moves some more code to vcalBase.
|
|
|
|
* kpilot/pilot*Entry.cc
|
|
... and one more patch to PilotDateEntry and PilotTodoEntry: replace
|
|
notes of length 0 with empty ones.
|
|
|
|
2001-05-23 Philipp Hullmann
|
|
|
|
* kpilot/pilot{Date,Todo}Entry.{h,cc}
|
|
Many fixes realted to accidental freeing of unallocated memory
|
|
and some pointer ugliness. Fixes rare crashes on machines where
|
|
malloc() doesn't zero the memory.
|
|
|
|
2001-05-25 Adriaan de Groot
|
|
|
|
* *.cc, options.h
|
|
Simplified the debugging code, no more #ifdef DEBUG if (debug_level &)
|
|
stuff, just straightforward DEBUGXXX statements which get optimized
|
|
aay for free when debugging is turned off.
|
|
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for may 14th 2001
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
Not a lot of movement on the coding front for me [ade]; I
|
|
did remember mothers' day though. Changes relevant to KPilot:
|
|
|
|
* abbrowser has moved into kdebase, so the abbrowser conduit will
|
|
now be available to everyone, not just those that also compile
|
|
all of kdepim.
|
|
|
|
2001-05-08 Marko Gronroos
|
|
|
|
* conduits/popmail/*
|
|
Totally revamped the mail conduits with a new, well designed
|
|
setup. This solves most of the smtp and sendmail problems
|
|
we've been having.
|
|
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for may 7th 2001
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
It's been great to receive patches from all over the place in the
|
|
past two weeks. What has been fixed is listed below; I have the nasty
|
|
feeling that one set of patches has slipped through the cracks. If
|
|
you've sent me a patch in the past two weeks and don't find yourself
|
|
listed here, please let me know.
|
|
|
|
2001-04-27 Adriaan de Groot <adridg@cs.kun.nl>
|
|
|
|
* I actually worked on the docs. Stephan Kulow's meinproc
|
|
HTMLizer was wonderfully useful here. The docs aren't
|
|
completely up-to-date yet, but they're moving.
|
|
|
|
2001-04-28 Martin Junius <mj@m-j-s.net>
|
|
|
|
* kpilot/kpilot.cc
|
|
(initMenu): use KToggleAction and setExclusiveGroup for view menu.
|
|
(addComponentPage): same here for the other components.
|
|
(initMenu): setChecked for view_kpilot action.
|
|
|
|
2001-05-07 Philipp Hullmann
|
|
|
|
* conduits/vcalconduit/todo-conduit.cc

KPilot Developer's notes for april 26th 2001
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
Ahh, spring is in the air; the time when a young man's mind turns
|
|
to nights of C++ hacking. This has been a great few weeks for open-
|
|
source collaboration. I've had useful and helpful mail from Philipp
|
|
Hullmann, Martin Junius, and Marko Gronoos (maybe more -- if i've
|
|
forgotten you please complain privately) with patches, hints, and
|
|
offers of help. Thanks guys!
|
|
|
|
* Fixed the non-initialization of the conduitCombo pointer by
|
|
removing it completely. (Thanks Martin!) At compile-time you can
|
|
choose between XML and traditional UI style. [19-4]
|
|
* Greg's abbrowser conduit is (almost) ready for the prime-time! [23-4]
|
|
* Fixed bug where absent executables could hang the conduit
|
|
setup dialog. [23-4]
|
|
* Fixed small UI bug where toggling toolbar didn't resize the contents
|
|
of the main KPilot window. [23-4]
|
|
* Removed unnecessary connection to (serial) pilot database when
|
|
conduits are started in --info or --setup mode. [23-4]
|
|
* Discovered many i18n bugs in the sendmail conduit. Ouch. Some fixed. [23-4]
|
|
* In a flash, implemented sending-via-KMail in the sendmail conduit.
|
|
This is utterly untested and possibly hazardous. I'd appreciate it
|
|
if some people used a test account for KMail and tried it out.
|
|
I will too, soon. [23-4]
|
|
* Looked for the right place to force KPilot conduits to use the KPilot
|
|
.po file. The TLs are now OK. Thanks to Marko for prodding me to sort
|
|
this bug out (conduit in Finnish is "siirtokanava"). [24-4]
|
|
* Added QToolTips and buddies to the NULL conduit setup. [24-4]
|
|
* Fixed a bug in the KMail sending if you use a different outbox
|
|
from "outbox". [26-4]
|
|
* Made KPilotLink::addSyncLogEntry marginally more useful -- this
|
|
is to work towards a read log window. As a side effect (which
|
|
obscures what I've done a little) I've reformatted kpilotlink.h
|
|
according to the coding style guide, and added docs. [26-4]
|
|
|
|
Todo:
|
|
|
|
* Found out why the vcal and todo conduits are so slow -- they
|
|
really do read in the whole Pilot database through the serial
|
|
line *twice* each sync. This needs fixing. [19-4]
|
|
* Add QToolTips to the remaining conduits. [24-4]
|
|
* Add "buddies" to relevant entry fields (usually QLineEdits). [24-4]
|
|
* Remove all the UI stuff from KPilotLink and put it somewhere sensible. [26-4]
|
|
* Split KPilotLink into the client and server ends. [26-4]
|
|
|
|
The following list is stuff from the ChangeLog that was once on
|
|
the Todo list; I'm repeating it here because it was time we went
|
|
through it again to see how things stand. I've added comments in
|
|
[ ] after each.
|
|
|
|
* Split KPilotLink into its separate functionalities: config management,
|
|
local database management, and link from daemon to conduits. [partly
|
|
done, but kpilotlink still serves both ends of a client-server link]
|
|
* Make KPilot and KPilotDaemon communicate only through DCOP. [bad idea -
|
|
causes extra overhead, and the kpilotlink protocol is pretty good]
|
|
* Add an extra message concerning NULL user on hotsync.
|
|
* Make the progress bar show something during a conduit sync.
|
|
* Should just use the KPilotLink::config object to store all kinds
|
|
of user settings instead of copying them from the config file to
|
|
local variables, since this is just asking for inconsistency.
|
|
[dunno -- as long as KPilot is the app for configuring what the
|
|
daemon does, we just have to get KPilot to tell the daemon to re-
|
|
read the config file when something changes.]
|
|
* Clean up more of the butt-ugly parts of the code base [less of this now!]
|
|
* KPilot is an i18n nightmare [less of this now!]
|
|
* The password dialog in the popmail conduit is probably a very bad idea
|
|
I think kdesud should come into play here. [not looked into]
|
|
* The messages need validation - Pilot vs pilot, HotSync vs whatever
|
|
* Actually *doing* a fast sync for Heiko
|
|
* More and better information in the progress bar
|
|
* KPilot should display the sync log as well, just like the Pilot
|
|
does. This is useful for reporting the result of a sync to the
|
|
user (who then doesn't need to look at the Pilot)
|
|
* I noticed Thomas Zander has submitted an official wishlist item:
|
|
DateBk3 (the new date book format in PalmOS3.5) support. I think
|
|
I'll get back to him on that when Mirko pans out with the free
|
|
hardware goodies from Palm :)
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for april 19th 2001
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
* Martin Junius has contributed an XML GUI framework for KPilot, so
|
|
it now finally uses the "modern" way of doing GUIs. This *does*
|
|
mean it's time for yet-another set of screenshots for the docs
|
|
and yet-another set of menus for users to get used to. [14-4]
|
|
* Disposed of reported bug: bad category selection. [15-4]
|
|
* Moved the todo-conduit into the vcalconduit directory. This makes
|
|
building much simpler. [15-4]
|
|
* Fixed up more #include shenanigans for --enable-final. (Don't
|
|
forget the #ifndef conventions from HOWTO-CODE.txt!) KPilot now
|
|
builds without warnings with --enable-final --disable-debug. [15-4]
|
|
|
|
Things to do:
|
|
|
|
* Fixup the documentation.
|
|
* Add QToolTips to the conduits setups, KPilot's setup, and the conduit setup.
|
|
This is already partially done, but someone else needs to finish this off.
|
|
* Make KPilot installation and run easier -- JPilot seems to work out-of-the
|
|
box on systems where KPilot doesn't.
|
|
* Look into bugs #23385 (crash in VCalConduit), #20318 (munged 8-bit chars)
|
|
and #24291 (doubled appointments).

KPilot Developer's notes for april 8th 2001
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
It seems like only yesterday that KDE 2.1.1 was out, and we're already
|
|
in KDE 2.2b1. Thoreau said "Simplify, Simplify". Anyway, this week's
|
|
feature creep:
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix for infinite loop when changing categories. [1-4]
|
|
* Some xpms could profitably be removed, since we use pngs now. [1-4]
|
|
* I normalized some more header-file #ifdef / #defines. [1-4]
|
|
* Incorporated patches from Aaron Seigo. [1-4]
|
|
* The todo conduit didn't compile due to changes in vcalBase. [1-4]
|
|
* The vcal conduit's test mode has been expanded. [1-4]
|
|
* KPilot's version number has been upped (again) to 4.2.1 for the
|
|
KDE 2.2a1 release; I hope we can up the revision number with every
|
|
release of KDE 2.2 move on to KPilot 4.3 with KDE 2.3. [9-4]
|
|
* Messed around with some of the icons and images. [9-4]
|
|
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for march 24th 2001
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
KDE 2.1.1! With bugfixes and translation fixes! So only some of the
|
|
bugfixes listed under march 10th have made it into there. On the
|
|
western front though, we have:
|
|
|
|
* Chris Molnar has started work on DB integration for the expense conduit,
|
|
so that you can actually do something useful with it. The CSV export seems
|
|
to be done, too. Thanks Chris!
|
|
* Greg Stern has pretty much finished the abbrowser conduit (which a *lot*
|
|
of people have wanted for a long time). It hasn't been committed yet, but
|
|
will be soon.
|
|
* The memo viewer has been very slightly beautified.
|
|
* Some work for bugs #22112 and #21908, fixing deficiencies in the todo-
|
|
conduit and in selecting categories under other locales. This isn't
|
|
done yet, though -- some attempts have been checking into CVS for testing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for march 10th 2001
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
This weeks "cleanup" action is to normalize the #ifdef thingies in
|
|
the header files so that they follow some kind of plan. And then reduce
|
|
the number of #includes actually included by adding #ifdefs areound most
|
|
of them, to prevent redundant #includes. This is a pain, but some say
|
|
it's worth it in compile time. (See Documentation/HOWTO-CODE.txt for info).
|
|
|
|
* Removed yet another silly struct tm issue. [4-3]
|
|
* Added FileInstaller to KPilotDaemon. [4-3]
|
|
* Added DCOP to KPilot. Files dropped on daemon show up in KPilot. [4-3]
|
|
* Added a #define KPILOT_VERSION to unify all the version strings. [5-3]
|
|
* Added Documentation/HOWTO-CODE.txt for the source code conventions. [5-3]
|
|
* Fixed a bunch of Solaris compile issues. [5-3]
|
|
* Factored out a bunch of generic vcal code from the vcal conduit into
|
|
a new base class VCalBaseConduit; the todo conduit also inherits from
|
|
there. [10-3]
|
|
* Yet another stab at the "latin1 chars munged in KOrganizer" bug. [10-3]
|
|
|
|
The double-sync problem still exists though, which is bad. I suspect that
|
|
some extra bytes are left waiting in the serial port queue after slotEndSync
|
|
but I haven't got that sorted out yet.
|
|
|
|
The web-site has been updated, finally, which means you can finally check
|
|
for new releases and info there again:
|
|
|
|
http://www.slac.com/~pilone/kpilot_home/
|
|
|
|
And, I've started to use KDevelop 1.4 for maintaining KPilot. I'm still
|
|
making the transition from vi / make / 4 konsole windows, but so far I've
|
|
been mostly pleased by the effect it has.
|
|
|
|
Bugs that are still open in the bug database: (Dan? you bored?)
|
|
|
|
* Todo conduit doesn't take due dates into account
|
|
* Double sync
|
|
* Address edit window doesn't follow addressDB custom fields & layout
|
|
|
|
Things to think about:
|
|
|
|
* Usability. I've swept all the menu items into one "File" menu that
|
|
contains two configure wrenches, 4 actions, and a quit button. I'm
|
|
wondering whether this is the right way to go or whether separate
|
|
"file", "sync" and "conduit" menu items would be better.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for march 4th 2001
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
So after "the big cleanup" I've continued doing cleanup code in smaller
|
|
chunks with more commits, mostly for reasons of bug-tracking. Dates in []
|
|
indicate when the fix or change was committed.
|
|
|
|
* Removed a really stupid crash from KPilotConfig::fixed(). [23-2]
|
|
* The internal conduits' names weren't reported properly anymore. This
|
|
is a binary and source incompatible change. [23-2]
|
|
* Extra debugging while starting the listener process. [26-2]
|
|
* Changed exit(-1) to exit(3) in the daemon. [26-2]
|
|
* Use Qt layout classes in fileInstallWidget. [26-2]
|
|
* Removed some null-conduit comments from the KNotes conduit. [26-2]
|
|
* Removed some #include <getopt.h> for Solaris. Cleaned up other
|
|
includes as well, just a little. [26-2]
|
|
* Started a change to KActions. [ 1-3]
|
|
* Added a new FileInstaller for use in the daemon and the widget. [ 1-3]
|
|
It's currently only used by the widget.
|
|
* Added listItems.{h,cc} in response to bug #21392; changed address
|
|
and memo widgets to use them. [ 4-3]
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for february 19th 2001
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
Yay! KDE 2.1 is out. Which means we can commit all kinds of changes
|
|
to KPilot again, not just well-thought-out bugfixes. That means that
|
|
we can get to work on cleaning up the code base again.
|
|
|
|
* Split all the config-file stuff out of KPilotLink into a new class
|
|
KPilotConfig. Fixed all the resulting include dependencies.
|
|
* The function fixed() in KPilotInstaller obviously belongs to KPilotConfig.
|
|
* The {address,memo,fileInstall} widgets all had unnecessary dependencies
|
|
on KPilotInstaller. Removed. KPilotInstaller now adds the widgets it
|
|
creates itself.
|
|
* Removed as many dependencies on kpilot.h and kpilotlink.h as possible.
|
|
* Removed a bunch of char[] buffer stupidities from pilotLocalDatabase &c.
|
|
* Removed the database open and close functions from kpilotlink.
|
|
|
|
All the sensible fixes, like those listed under feb. 4th, will come later.
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for february 4th 2001
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
Nick Papadonis spent hours tracking down the vcal conduit crash and
|
|
we found at least one bug in kpilotlink. It's been removed and I
|
|
hope this quashes all the vcal crashes. Other than that there's simply
|
|
not much we *can* do with the message and feature freeze and all.
|
|
This is why the todo-immediately-after-freeze list exists:
|
|
|
|
* Split KPilotLink into its separate functionalities: config management,
|
|
local database management, and link from daemon to conduits.
|
|
* Make KPilot and KPilotDaemon communicate only through DCOP.
|
|
* Add an extra message concerning NULL user on hotsync.
|
|
* Sort out all the icon issues.
|
|
* Make the progress bar show something during a conduit sync.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for january 6th 2001
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
Happy Millennium. I ([ade]) am off on a two-week vacation to
|
|
Calgary, so no KPilot news from me till (almost) february.
|
|
|
|
There have been several troublesome bugreports this week,
|
|
ranging from "all the conduits crash" to "daemon dies on
|
|
hotsync." That don't make me happy at all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Done this week:
|
|
|
|
* Built POSE, the Palm Emulator, so this may help in testing
|
|
stuff for the OS versions that I don't actually have.
|
|
POSE is a real $#*%^ to build, but I can now actually use my
|
|
PalmV on-screen (with a PalmIII skin, which is kinda weird).
|
|
* Replaced the addressEditor widget with something less stone-age.
|
|
* Added a nifty feature so that you can edit one address in two
|
|
windows and they keep semi-in-sync. abbrowser doesn't have this
|
|
(which means abbrowser has a bug :( ).
|
|
* #&$%#$ conduitApp doesn't turn the GUI on by default, so recent
|
|
vcal crashes can be blamed on trying to create a KMessageBox without
|
|
a GUI :( Changed the default values.
|
|
* Tried fixing some ugly icons. I'm no artist though.
|
|
* Teeny-tiny layout change in Address page of setup dialog.
|
|
* If you try to add records to the address book before you've done
|
|
a HotSync / Backup KPilot has an empty AddressDB and doesn't deal
|
|
with the address very well. Added a sorry() there.
|
|
* Added a doTest() to vcal-conduit.
|
|
* More cleanups in the debugging code. There's still a weird mix of
|
|
code controlled by --debug and kdebugdialog style stuff. Functions
|
|
kdWarning() and kdError() should be given __FUNCTION__ as their
|
|
<< argument, while kdDebug() should get fname as first argument.
|
|
This will make all the debugs optimize away painlessly while keeping
|
|
the warnings and error messages. Since messages may change status some
|
|
time there's now a #define TEST_DEBUG that makes fname a weird object
|
|
that can only be passed to kndbgstreams. So sensible combinations are:
|
|
production: NDEBUG defined, DEBUG undefined, TEST_DEBUG undefined
|
|
test nodebug: NDEBUG defined, DEBUG undefined, TEST_DEBUG defined
|
|
testing: NDEBUG undefined, DEBUG defined, TEST_DEBUG defined
|
|
* Actually KPilotLink::doFullBackup wasn't all that bad. Still, all the
|
|
code needs going-over for i18n yuckiness. doFullRestore() was worse;
|
|
also fixed up directory yuckiness.
|
|
Note to self: text for user is i18n()ed, kdDebug() &c. is in
|
|
english ('cause Dan or I have to read it :) )
|
|
* Finished integrating Heiko's patches. I believe that both HotSync and
|
|
FastSync now do what the ought to do.
|
|
* Started adding a DCOP interface to the daemon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other stuff:
|
|
|
|
* It's a HotSync and a Pilot. I'll change strings in the source as
|
|
I come across them. As for conjugations: I HotSynced, it HotSyncs.
|
|
|
|
Todo:
|
|
|
|
* Should just use the KPilotLink::config object to store all kinds
|
|
of user settings instead of copying them from the config file to
|
|
local variables, since this is just asking for inconsistency.
|
|
* Close bug 16457.html in some way.
|
|
* More vcal work
|
|
* Clean up more of the butt-ugly parts of the code base (less of this now!)
|
|
* Tell the KOrganizer docs people about KPilot
|
|
* KPilot is an i18n nightmare
|
|
- The const char *s in the pilot databases can be addressed most
|
|
easily, I think.
|
|
- get rid of most of the strcpy, strcat, etc. But not all!
|
|
We're stuck with pilot-link, after all.
|
|
* The password dialog in the popmail conduit is probably a very bad idea
|
|
I think kdesud should come into play here. Anyway, a KMail conduit would
|
|
be much cooler and safer. Sigh.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Things-to-be-considered:
|
|
|
|
* Splitting kpilotlink up into its various functionalities
|
|
|
|

KPilot Developer's notes for december 30th 2000
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
Ho ho ho. Merry Christmas. Happy new year. Last week started out
|
|
with Thomas Zander reporting that he *still* has the totally bizzarre
|
|
and inexplicable crash in KPilot that he's had ever since KPilot was
|
|
ported to KDE2 (+). That pretty much colors this week's work. The rest
|
|
of the week was used for the KNotes conduit. After a pleasant exchange
|
|
of ideas with Wynn Wilkes (of KNotes) we got a DCOP interface working and
|
|
this make the KNotes conduit more useful. Talked to Greg about the
|
|
kab conduit and he's enthusiastic about the possibilities there,
|
|
we hope to have a framework in CVS soon.
|
|
|
|
Done:
|
|
|
|
* Claimed some debug areas (5510,5511,5512).
|
|
* KNotes rereads the notes dir after a sync, so new notes (which
|
|
have come from Pilot memos) appear there.
|
|
* KNotes conduit --test now displays all the notes (on screen) that
|
|
knotes shares with the pilot. This is a test (!) of the DCOP stuff,
|
|
mostly.
|
|
* KNotes conduit now has a checksum function (md5) to reduce the
|
|
number of notes that has to be copied between KNotes and the
|
|
Pilot.
|
|
* Applied Dag Nygren's vcal patches so that repeating events now
|
|
show up in KOrganizer properly.
|
|
* Fixed the button-enabling in the address app
|
|
* Added more debugging output for Thomas.
|
|
* Added more debugging output for Nick.
|
|
|
|
Todo:
|
|
|
|
* More vcal work
|
|
* Clean up more of the butt-ugly parts of the code base
|
|
* Tell the KOrganizer docs people about KPilot
|
|
* KPilot is an i18n nightmare
|
|
- The const char *s in the pilot databases can be addressed most
|
|
easily, I think.
|
|
- KPilotLink::doFullBackup should cause i18n people to run away
|
|
- get rid of most of the strcpy, strcat, etc. But not all!
|
|
We're stuck with pilot-link, after all.
|
|
* The messages need validation - Pilot vs pilot, HotSync vs whatever
|
|
* The password dialog in the popmail conduit is probably a very bad idea
|
|
|
|
+ Thomas' crash produces the following (partial) backtrace:
|
|
|
|
#4 0x408960b7 in read_png_image () from /usr/kde2/source/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so.2
|
|
#5 0x40838dd9 in QImageIO::read () from /usr/kde2/source/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so.2
|
|
#6 0x40836cf1 in QImage::load () from /usr/kde2/source/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so.2
|
|
#7 0x408305b2 in QImage::QImage () from /usr/kde2/source/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so.2
|
|
#8 0x40483fcf in KIconLoader::loadIcon () from /usr/kde2/lib/libkdecore.so.3
|
|
#9 0x805a166 in KPilotInstaller::initIcons ()
|
|
|
|
which is weird since the only possible png image being read is the
|
|
quit icon, which is standard in KDE2. Maybe some weird combo of options?
|
|

KPilot Developer's notes for december 18th 2000
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
It looks like kdepim and KPilot aren't going to make the 2.1 release.
|
|
Darn. This does give us more time to deal with docs and bugfixes.
|
|
Every time I get something done though I find I've discovered two
|
|
new things to do :(. I hope Lukas will help out with a lot of the
|
|
i18n stuff though.
|
|
|
|
Done:
|
|
|
|
* Moved all the (english) docs to the correct place.
|
|
* More doc fixes: use &kpilot; and &pilot; properly, added screen shots for
|
|
various conduit setups. The docs still aren't complete but they're a
|
|
darn sight better than they were.
|
|
* Modal dialogs need exec() instead of show()
|
|
* Changes in kdelibs caused some dialogs to hang in slotCancel()
|
|
* Changes in includes means we have to include kdebug.h ourselves
|
|
* Get rid of cerr and use kdDebug or kdWarning or kdError as appropriate.
|
|
There are still a very few cerrs left in places where we can't rely on
|
|
kdDebug().
|
|
* Added #ifdef DEBUG to the debug sections of code. So KPilot now compiles
|
|
without debugging stuff. I realise now that I should have stuck to the
|
|
KDE kdDebug() guidelines, but, um, I didn't know they existed when the
|
|
port from KDE1 to KDE2 started. Darn.
|
|
|
|
ToDo:
|
|
|
|
* More vcal work
|
|
* Clean up more of the butt-ugly parts of the code base
|
|
* Detect memo-too-large in knotes conduit
|
|
* Try to reduce number of updates in knotes conduit
|
|
* Figure out a nice DCOP interface with Wynn (KNotes)
|
|
* Finally take a look at kab or whatever for the address book conduit.
|
|
Should probably talk to Greg about this one too.
|
|
* Tell the KOrganizer docs people about KPilot
|
|
* Fix the button-enabling in the address app
|
|
* KPilot is an i18n nightmare
|
|
- The const char *s in the pilot databases can be addressed most
|
|
easily, I think.
|
|
- KPilotLink::doFullBackup should cause i18n people to run away
|
|
- get rid of most of the strcpy, strcat, etc. But not all!
|
|

KPilot Developer's notes for december 10th 2000
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
Lots of internal stuff going on:
|
|
|
|
* The sense of the debugging flags was the wrong way around,
|
|
so using --debug 4 gave you all the UI debugging messages
|
|
as opposed to just the major and minor ones. This is what
|
|
you get from suggesting debug 1023 all the time.
|
|
* BaseConduit had some weird debugging output -- not controlled
|
|
by --debug -- so patched that up. And there was ugliness in the
|
|
icon loading function. This changes the interface to BaseConduit
|
|
slightly, 3rd party conduit authors beware.
|
|
* Finally fixed up the Makefile.ams for the standard conduits so
|
|
that they run properly (without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
|
|
|
|
Visible changes:
|
|
|
|
* Fixed up the documentation, the screenshots, the descriptions of the
|
|
conduits, etc. etc. It's still not complete but at least it matches
|
|
what happens when you run KPilot.
|
|
|
|
Still on the todo-list:
|
|
|
|
* Really fix the vcal conduit. I've patched some things up and once
|
|
again I hope it works, but since I can't reproduce the error I'm
|
|
a little stuck here.
|
|
|
|
Still on the wish-list:
|
|
|
|
* Actually *doing* a fast sync for Heiko
|
|
* More and better information in the progress bar
|
|
* The PilotMemo class is butt-ugly and filled with weird C-string
|
|
manipulations.
|
|
* KPilot should display the sync log as well, just like the Pilot
|
|
does. This is useful for reporting the result of a sync to the
|
|
user (who then doesn't need to look at the Pilot)
|
|
* I noticed Thomas Zander has submitted an official wishlist item:
|
|
DateBk3 (the new date book format in PalmOS3.5) support. I think
|
|
I'll get back to him on that when Mirko pans out with the free
|
|
hardware goodies from Palm :)

KPilot Developer's notes for december 2nd 2000
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
Almost Sinterklaas, so I'd like to wish all the KPilot users in
|
|
.nl a Happy Sinterklaas en Weg met de Kerstman.
|
|
|
|
UI Changes:
|
|
|
|
* Added Heiko's Fast-Sync icon .. but it's ugly and hard to
|
|
distinguish from the regular icon. This needs fixing by an artist.
|
|
* Added an ugly restore icon as well.
|
|
* Added an undocumented config-file option. You can now add the
|
|
following line to kpilotrc in the null group if you really want to:
|
|
|
|
ToolbarIcons=list
|
|
|
|
where list is a comma-separated list of icons to appear on the
|
|
KPilot toolbar. You can choose from HotSync,FastSync,Backup and
|
|
Restore. The standard setting is:
|
|
|
|
ToolbarIcons=HotSync,Backup
|
|
|
|
That's not a lot but it should keep Heiko happy for a while and
|
|
it reminds us that we should move towards a more modern method
|
|
of setting up the UI -- or not?
|
|
* Tried to fix some UI weirdneses like:
|
|
- Delete Memo button enabled when no memo selected
|
|
but QListBox has the nasty habit of always having *something*
|
|
selected, even if you can't see what it is.
|
|
|
|
Now I know that the internal conduits -- memoWidget and addressWidget
|
|
will probably die out soon when we have a real working kab2 conduit
|
|
as well as a KNotes conduit, but till then it's nice to have something
|
|
that at least obeys basic UI design rules.
|
|
* The following bugs in QListBox and QListView made me ditch the old
|
|
two column layout with movement buttons for something else. Let me
|
|
know which one you prefer.
|
|
- There is some *bizzarre* behavior in the handling of
|
|
conduits being selected: select the top item in
|
|
the left column, the top item in the right column
|
|
(um, so install a conduit first) and then the top
|
|
item in the left column again.
|
|
The new layout allows you to drag conduits from one state (available)
|
|
to another (active). Click on a conduit to set it up -- you may have
|
|
to doubleclick depending on you KDE settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Internal Changes:
|
|
|
|
* Conduits that crash no longer hang KPilot and the entire sync.
|
|
* Made a lot of static const int members of various classes
|
|
enum values instead, and added a function write() to CStatusMessages
|
|
for a clean way to write status messages to the link.
|
|
* Replaced several if else if ... constructions with switch()
|
|
* Added a sensibleTitle() and shortTitle() to PilotMemo for use
|
|
by the KNotes conduit (and maybe others)
|
|
|
|
Documentation:
|
|
|
|
* Spent a little time on the (english) documentation and brought a few
|
|
parts of it back up-to-date. It needs up-to-date URL's, probably we
|
|
should move the mailing list to kde-pim@kde.org, and we need new
|
|
screenshots.
|
|
|
|
Wishlist:
|
|
|
|
* More and better information in the progress bar
|
|
* The PilotMemo class is butt-ugly and filled with weird C-string
|
|
manipulations.
|
|
* KPilot should display the sync log as well, just like the Pilot
|
|
does. This is useful for reporting the result of a sync to the
|
|
user (who then doesn't need to look at the Pilot)

KPilot Developer's notes for november 25th 2000
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
Spent most of the week at a conference, but managed to get
|
|
the KNotes conduit almost fully functional. New memos (KNotes)
|
|
are copied to the desktop (Pilot). Memos changed on the pilot
|
|
are changed on the desktop. However, not all deleted memos are
|
|
deleted on the other side, nor are modified memos copied
|
|
from the desktop to the Pilot.
|
|
|
|
I don't know what the desired action for KPilot is in the
|
|
cases of deleted memos. Any suggestions? There's now a config
|
|
option in the KNotes conduit setup, but maybe that should be
|
|
subsumed by the global Local Overrides Pilot setting. Anyway,
|
|
if a memo is deleted on the Pilot the corresponding KNote is
|
|
deleted as well.
|
|
|
|
If KNotes is running and the KNotes conduit makes changes,
|
|
these aren't picked up by KNotes. There are also some
|
|
obvious race conditions caused by the conduit writing KNotes
|
|
config files. This basically means that we need to talk to
|
|
the KNotes maintainer to resolve these coordination problems.
|
|
|
|
As for the code, I wrote this:
|
|
class KNotesOptions : public setupDialog { Q_OBJECT
|
|
protected: static const QString KNotesGroup; };
|
|
[with better layout, of course] But there's a static QString
|
|
there, and I read somewhere that Static Objects Are Evil (tm).
|
|
I could use a const char * there, since it's just the name of
|
|
a group in the config file, but what's the consensus on things
|
|
like this?
|
|
|
|
I did handle some more of Heiko's patches. From last week's list:
|
|
- Some phone number magic I don't understand yet
|
|
- Some changes in the address import function
|
|
- getShowPhone() -- don't understand that yet either
|
|
- Fix bad repeat-n-times handling in vcal-conduit
|
|
This leaves just the Fast Sync capability still unimplemented.
|
|
|
|
Given the release schedule that has been discussed recently
|
|
(and we really do want to have KPilot in KDE 2.1, so as to add
|
|
a nifty feature to the desktop as a whole) I think feature creep
|
|
should be abandoned for the time being and we should try to
|
|
fix as many bugs in what we have before the release (around the
|
|
middle of december, IIRC). This means testing, lots of it. So
|
|
people, take the plunge, give it a try, compile the latest kdepim
|
|
CVS stuff with KPilot in it and then complain when your Pilot
|
|
catches fire, OK? O yeah .. when you *do* give it a try, make
|
|
sure you do something like:
|
|
|
|
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:
|
|
$ kpilot --debug 1023
|
|
|
|
To make sure none of the conduits crashes with library loading
|
|
problems and with all the debugging messages turned on.
|
|

KPilot Developer's notes for november 19th 2000
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
Fixes:
|
|
|
|
* Added most of Heiko's patches to the vcal-conduit
|
|
* Added convention to conduits --info handling: return "<none>" for
|
|
no databases. Handled in conduitSetup as well.
|
|
* Made some minor changes to the info page presented in dialogs
|
|
(generally the setup dialog of a conduit) so that it gracefully
|
|
handles weird settings and handles its own resizing properly.
|
|
* Added some const-qualifiers to various char *s
|
|
* Add a "kill daemon on exit" feature -- there was already some code
|
|
for this, but not complete.
|
|
* Changed all the boolean config entries to booleans as opposed to
|
|
0-or-1 ints.
|
|
* Removed all the "const char * id defined but not used" warnings
|
|
* Added some extra robustness in PilotDaemon::setupConnections
|
|
* Made the daemon obey the "show in system tray" setting -- this was
|
|
broken during the first port to KDE2
|
|
* Handle reconfiguration through the settings dialog properly --
|
|
at least KPilot picks up the changes to "Kill Daemon on Exit"
|
|
* (re)Added --test option to conduits, though not all of them
|
|
will support actual tests.
|
|
* KNotes conduit is now functional in the sense that notes you write
|
|
on your desktop are in fact copied to the Pilot.
|
|
|
|
Some general comments:
|
|
|
|
* Suggestion: call the desktop files for conduits
|
|
conduit-pilot-appname.desktop
|
|
and the conduit executables themselves
|
|
conduit-pilot-Appname
|
|
This at least gives conduits some consistent naming scheme and
|
|
the addition of -pilot leaves some namespace for conduits for
|
|
other PDA's.
|
|
|
|
Well, actually this naming scheme isn't much good. But we *do*
|
|
need to think about how to handle sync-programs for various
|
|
PDA's in a nice fashion -- I can imagine having a Nokia phone,
|
|
a Psion and a Pilot and wanting to sync them all.
|
|
|
|
Still on the todo-list:
|
|
|
|
* Fix bad repeat-n-times handling in vcal-conduit
|
|
* Dealing with the rest of Heiko's patches
|
|
- Some phone number magic I don't understand yet
|
|
- Some changes in the address import function
|
|
- Fast-sync capability (this is different from SyncLast)
|
|
- getShowPhone() -- don't understand that yet either
|
|
* More and better information in the progress bar
|
|
* The PilotMemo class is butt-ugly and filled with weird C-string
|
|
manipulations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
KPilot Developer's notes for november 14th 2000
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
Lots of things have changed in the class hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
* Jorg's bug in the memo-import function was handled OK in addressWidget,
|
|
but it seemed clumsy to deal with the same problem in two different
|
|
places. Moved findSelectedCategory() to PilotComponent. Added some
|
|
other convenience functions there for the category combo box.
|
|
|
|
* The getConfig() change was very poorly done, sorry about that.
|
|
Added some (semi-) bizarre debugging functions into options.{h,cc}
|
|
that are #ifdeffed out.
|
|
|
|
* Ditched all the #ifdef KDE2 stuff and dropped the KDE1 backport.
|
|
|
|
* Added a .desktop file for the NULL conduit (with some translations
|
|
of my own)
|
|
|
|
* Added Qt2 layout code to the address and memo widgets so that they
|
|
become easier to i18n() (ie. they display properly when the string
|
|
lengths change).
|
|
|
|
* Adopted some of Heiko's patches:
|
|
- New feature ForceFirst causes every conduit to behave
|
|
as if FirstTime=true every time (this is off by default,
|
|
which matches previous behavior)
|
|
- New feature SyncLastPC causes a slow sync if the Pilot
|
|
is synced with a different PC than the last time it
|
|
was synced (this is on by default, matching old behavior)
|
|
- "fixed" font in address and memo editor replaced by the
|
|
user's system preference
|
|
- In some cases the title (first name+last name or something
|
|
similar) in an address was empty. This now gives the title
|
|
[unknown]
|
|
- Similar for memos
|
|
|
|
Let's sum up the current wishlist:
|
|
|
|
* KNotes conduit
|
|
* Dealing with the rest of Heiko's patches
|
|
- Proper multi-day appointments in the vcal conduit
|
|
- Some phone number magic I don't understand yet
|
|
- Some changes in the address import function
|
|
- Fast-sync capability (this is different from SyncLast)
|
|
- getShowPhone() -- don't understand that yet either
|
|
These patches are quite useful but it takes a lot of work to
|
|
unsnarl them, which is why they're taking so long.

Developer's notes for november 9th 2000
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
What's new? Lots of little bugs found by code review, some new (trivial?)
|
|
features. KPilot 4 is in Mandrake cooker so it receives a little more
|
|
attention now than before.
|
|
|
|
* Jorg Habenicht found a bug in the memo-import function. It causes
|
|
array-bounds overruns. The same bug was present in many other parts
|
|
of the memo widget. I think I got them all.
|
|
|
|
* Added some robustness checking in the daemon to cover weird cases
|
|
like running conduits by hand.
|
|
|
|
* Added better handling of the "first time" dialog in the vcal conduit.
|
|
|
|
* The NULL-conduit now has an extra configuration field "Databases" which
|
|
you can attach it to. This allows you to do a bogus conduit sync with
|
|
a database (almost equivalent to putting it in the "backup only" entry
|
|
of the global KPilot settings, except you run the external conduit.
|
|
|
|
* Made KPilotLink::getConfig return a reference instead of a pointer, to
|
|
avoid new()ing and delete()ing the config data structure all the time.
|
|
I hope this increases consistency as well. This has caused lots of
|
|
little type changes throughout the conduit system, so third-party
|
|
conduit authors beware :) -- all the changes cause compile failures though.
|
|
|
|
* Jorg brought in a patch so that KPilot uses the pilot-link environment
|
|
variables to set initial values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some wishlist-style items:
|
|
|
|
* The memo and address internal conduits are (a) ugly and (b) impossible
|
|
to i18n properly, because they have hard-coded sizes. Need to spend some
|
|
time cleaning that up.
|
|
|
|
* Really, it's time to write a conduit that syncs with KNotes. It's
|
|
not that hard, but KNotes has some silly bugs that need fixing first :(
|
|
|
|
* A patch to introduce a notion of "fast sync" has been produced for
|
|
KPilot 3.2.1 -- we're now looking into how to integrate that into
|
|
the KPilot 4.x series. The idea is you only run a sync on the databases
|
|
you have a conduit for.
|
|
|
|
Developer's notes for october 29th 2000
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
* Thomas Zander pointed out that KPilot doesn't write a config file
|
|
the first time it is run, leading it to *still* believe it's the
|
|
first time it's run the next time. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
* In PilotDaemon::setupConnections() things have been reorganized so that
|
|
a failure on opening the Pilot device will not allow KPilot to start.
|
|
|
|
* Added an undocumented Debug= entry to conduit's configuration, to
|
|
ease debugging. Conduits will have to read this themselves.
|
|
|
|
* Added a "Run KPilot" menu item to the daemon.
|
|
|
|
And there's some really strange behavior that I've noticed: when I run
|
|
the setup for an external conduit -- which is a separate process --
|
|
KPilot always "jumps in front" of that conduits setup dialog when I
|
|
give KPilot the focus. This is very irritating.
|
|
|
|
Bugs noted still remaining:
|
|
|
|
* Much weirdness in conduit startup (mode must be set before running
|
|
the conduit's constructor, but mode wasn't set till after) has been
|
|
looked at but not repaired.
|
|
|
|
* The vcal-conduit had trouble running a sync the first time (you really
|
|
should do a backup instead). We're working on this one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Developer's notes for october 26th 2000
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
OK, I admit it:
|
|
|
|
code,commit,announce,test
|
|
|
|
is the *wrong* way to do things. I made some mistakes in the code that
|
|
looks up conduits in the .desktop files, so conduits *still* won't run
|
|
with this morning's commits. This has been fixed now, and the conduits
|
|
run. Of course, vcalconduit just SIGSEGV'ed on me, so ...
|
|
|
|
This brings me to a couple of wishlist items for KPilot:
|
|
|
|
* A "Cancel" button. I just clicked on Backup when I was aiming for
|
|
HotSync, and there's nothing I can do about it.
|
|
|
|
* A timeout when running conduits so that badly behaved conduits don't
|
|
hang up the KPilot system.
|
|
|
|
Some other minor issues have been fixed as well:
|
|
|
|
* Boatloads of compiler warnings in the included .xpm files
|
|
* Some i18n stuff
|
|
|
|
And new questions raised for people who know the code (I'm thinking
|
|
Preston or Cornelius may be able to explain):
|
|
|
|
* vcal-conduit.cc line 522, what's the purpose of voStatus there?

Developer's notes for october 23rd 2000
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
It's been a week where I couldn't bring myself to tackle
|
|
really big problems, like an address-book conduit for
|
|
kab or pine. So I sat back and polished things, wandered
|
|
through the code finding little bugs (if I was an OpenBSD
|
|
kinda guy I'd call it a proactive code audit). This has
|
|
led to:
|
|
|
|
A whole slew of minor fixes:
|
|
|
|
* Updated Help menu in main menu bar
|
|
* Removed superfluous about tab in kpilot setup dialog
|
|
* Fixed config-doesn't-change bug
|
|
* Disable autostart-daemon option if .desktop file unavailable
|
|
* Added quit icon into file menu
|
|
* Added hotsync and backup icons into file menu
|
|
* Cleaned up include files in conduitSetup.h
|
|
* Cleaned up dialog code in conduitSetup.cc for KDE2 compliance
|
|
* Fixed conduits-not-running-during-sync bug in kpilotlink.cc
|
|
* Fixed a minor Qt2 incompatibility in messageDialog.cc
|
|
* Fixed some i18n issues in kpilotlink.cc
|
|
* Replaced sprintf stuff with QString operations in kpilotlink.cc
|
|
* Added hot-sync to file menu for consistency (it's in the toolbar)
|
|
* Added logic in showTitlePage in kpilot.cc to reduce flicker
|
|
|
|
Some remaining issues:
|
|
|
|
* The icon for "About KPilot" in the help menu is the wrong one
|
|
* We still need pretty icons for various things (like external conduits)
|
|
|
|
Some questions:
|
|
|
|
* Is there a memory leak with the config file in kpilotOptions.cc?
|
|
* Do we really want to be new() and delete()ing the config file so
|
|
often? Perhaps getConfig() should do some caching.
|
|
* Should we add icons for the other menu items?
|
|
* Is there an entry iterator in KConfig so that you can iterate over
|
|
entries in a certain group (and possibly delete them?)
|
|
|
|
Some philosophical stuff:
|
|
|
|
* Maybe it's time to ditch the internal conduits altogether and work
|
|
on external conduits for kab and knotes? Although that would still
|
|
leave the file installer. Maybe a splash of the kpilot logo and then
|
|
an icon view of what has been dropped into the file installer?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As far as I can tell KPilot 4 now has the same functionality and bugs
|
|
as KPilot 3.2.1 did (with some polishing). So you still have to be
|
|
careful with KOrganizer. But I think the framework is sufficiently
|
|
OK to make it worthwhile to really write some conduits for various
|
|
KDE 2 apps. Like a kab conduit and a knotes conduit.
|
