&kpilot; &kpilotver; is an application that synchronizes your &PalmPilot; or
|
|
similar device (like the &Handspring; &Visor;, the &Sony; &Clie; or other
|
|
&PalmOS; devices) with your &kde; desktop, much like the Palm Desktop &HotSync;
|
|
software does for &Windows;. &kpilot; can back-up, restore, and &HotSync; your
|
|
&PalmPilot;. It can synchronize the built-in applications with their &kde;
|
|
counterparts. It also features additional conduits for third-party software.

&kpilot; describes synchronization operations
|
|
with &PalmOS; devices, and it uses the word &HotSync;
|
|
to name those synchronization operations,
|
|
while recognizing that &HotSync; is a trademark of
|
|
Palm, Inc. Holders of other trademarks, such as
|
|
&Handspring; &Visor;, &Sony; &Clie;, and
|
|
the Palm, Inc. trademarks &PalmPilot; and
|
|
<productname><trademark>Zire</trademark></productname>
|
|
are recognized as well.

<title>Overview of &kpilot;</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
&kpilot; consists of two parts: the &kpilot; daemon, which sits
|
|
in the system tray and handles the actual communication with
|
|
the &handheld;, and the normal &kpilot; program, which lets
|
|
you configure the daemon and view the databases on your
|
|
&handheld;. In normal operation, you will not need to use &kpilot;
|
|
itself very much, since the daemon handles communication unobtrusively
|
|
and synchronizes your data to &kde; applications like &korganizer;
|
|
and &knotes;. &kpilot; is integrated into &kontact; as well.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
It is vital to configure &kpilot; before use. At the very least,
|
|
you need to tell it which hardware device to use to communicate with
|
|
your &handheld;.
|
|
Configuration settings are described at length in
|
|
the <link linkend="configure">section on configuring &kpilot;</link>.
|
|
For the impatient, the <link linkend="configwizard">configuration wizard</link>
|
|
can set up most things for you.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Once &kpilot; is configured, you should make a <link
|
|
linkend="backup">backup</link> of your &handheld; first. That is to be on the
|
|
safe side. Once that is done, you can just leave the &kpilot; daemon running in
|
|
the system tray, and all you need to do is press the &HotSync; button, and
|
|
changes in the &handheld; data and the &kde; applications will be <link
|
|
linkend="synchronization">synchronized</link>, so that the information matches
|
|
again on both the &handheld; and the desktop.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
If you want to <link linkend="page-viewers">examine</link> the
|
|
data stored on your &handheld;, the built in <link
|
|
linkend="page-viewers">viewers</link> can be used. This allows you to view
|
|
memos, addresses, &etc;. There is a generic hexadecimal database viewer for
|
|
advanced use.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Finally, &kpilot; can be used to <link linkend="installer-app">install</link>
|
|
new programs and databases on your &handheld;.

FIXME: Old Warnings
|
|
<caution>
|
|
<title>Changes in &kpilotver;</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The expressiveness of the <guilabel>No Backup</guilabel> configuration
|
|
item, which prevents specific databases from being backed up (for space, speed,
|
|
or stability reasons), has been extended.
|
|
In particular, the old format listed only
|
|
creator values, while the new format can list wildcard database names
|
|
as well as creator values.
|
|
The value set in the configuration dialog will be automatically adjusted to
|
|
the new format.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In &kpilot; &kpilotver;, the way conduits are programmed changed,
|
|
and you will need to use newly compiled conduits. If there are
|
|
old conduits on your system, &kpilot; will prompt you to remove them.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Please take the time to review all of the configuration settings.
