GPE To DO List
 

Sorry if this is posted somewhere, but I missed it. Is there a way for me to print my to do list, I am using GPE. If not, is there a way to send the file via blutooth, put in an emauil or some other way to get it off my Nokia.

Re: GPE To DO List
 

I'm also using GPE, I can't say about the printing but can I ask you a question? As soon as I try to make a category in any of the GPE apps they shut down instantly its very annoying. Are you having the same problem?

Re: GPE To DO List
 

I had not tried to use categories until you asked the question. I just tried and same thing happened to me. It just closed down.

This is a bug from the 2.8 release. It happened on the ITOS 2007 version so I had avoided the most recent one BUT now ITOS 2008 forced the upgrade. I suggest submitting a bug, apparently they are seeing multiple bug entries for the GPE suite so perhaps this stuff will be worked out soon.

If you are running 2007, consider Gene Cash's scripts from the repository http://home.cfl.rr.com/genecash/nokia/debs (install that via www.gronmayer.com/it)

His scripts import and export nicely, and I find them easier to use. If you need sync they may not be as good, but as I don't...

I wish the check boxes on the to do list weren't small enough to be measured in nano units...

Re: GPE To DO List
 

zebee, I'm having the problem described here but don't understand your post. Which scripts in the directory listing you give and what do they do?

Re: GPE To DO List
 

The first URL is a repository - you add it to your application manager then you can get the programs in it. The 2nd (gronmayer) is a way to add the repository with a click.

The scripts are a calendar and to-do application, plus he also has a simple database for keeping information in.

I find them nicer than the GPE equivalents - better user interface, nicer to use. But they are 2007 only.

Thanks - I had hopes and then.....2007 only:-(

Re: GPE To DO List
 

Gene wrote that he doesn't like os2008 and heard so many negative impressions that he flashed back to os2007... what about a petition to change his mind? I'm going to flash back, too, in order to use his python apps on my N800 (they work perfectly on one of my friends 770, but now I have to give it back). Just to say how much I like that 'scripts'...

Re: GPE To DO List
 

A bug report has already been opened for the categories issue.

It looks like it's finally fixed in the repository, but still no package available with this fix.

Re: GPE To DO List
 

So, there is no way to send the file or simple way to print the to do list? Can I copy and paste to an email or something?

Re: GPE To DO List
 

As far as I know there is no direct way to print the TODO files.

However the data is stored in sqlite databases files, so I guess that it would be possible to extract data from an external application.

This looks like an interesting challenge I may take up...If I get some time these few days I will try to implement such feature.

Re: GPE To DO List
 

I'm on an N810, transitioning from a series of Palms.
Do you use Gene's calendar alarms? If so, does the calendar app
have to be running for the alarm to go off?
GPE Calendar and the Garnet Palm VM both have to be running.
If I close the program, intentionally or otherwise, I get no alarms.
Not to mention that the sound sometimes doesn't work in Garnet...

Same question for anyone who might be running Kontact under KDE.

My life ceases to happen when it should, without my alarms.

Gene's trying to port them to OS2008, reluctantly, and having a bad time.
http://home.cfl.rr.com/genecash/nokia/index.html tells the tale.

Re: GPE To DO List
 

No. Gene has written a thingo that uses the Nokia's alarm app, which doesn't need the calendar script to be running. I tested same and it works. Because it uses the alarm app, you have some control over volume and sound.

Snooze works as per the settings in control panel for the alarm.

I have had an alarm for the previous day, that had already been sounded, come up after a reboot, same as GPE has done.

Installed Info on tap and Calendar on my 800 (2007OS) they say the are installed and they showed up on my extras menu but when I click on them nothing happens. I installed all the files listed including icalendar, dateutil. Is there another program that needs to be installed to make these work? I have python.2.5 runtime as well. Thanks.

Re: GPE To DO List
 

No idea. I suggest you email Gene at gene.cash@gmail.com and ask him. I'm just a happy user.

Did you install from app manager, or from the debs? If you did it from the debs, I suggest you add the repository to app manager and do it that way. And you are using 2007, right?

Re: GPE To DO List
 

Installed from app manager and am using 2007. emailed Gene too.

Re: GPE To DO List
 

Uninstalled and then re-installed using fresh libraries and now they work
