" I realy think we need an updatd mcalender soon.."
Yep ... and it ll be soon :)

Just be carreful removing .mPIM as this folder store data from my other PIM apps, so if you use mNotes too, it ll remove also his database.

I suggest you to remove only /home/user/.mPIM/mcalendar.db

Re: mCalendar
 

Looking forward to the update! mCalendar is lovely finger friendly app and the homepage applet blends in nicely.

I'm also getting the sync stuck at 80% and not uploading to google calendar (but it is downloading from google).

It'd be great if when we press "+", the new event would be added to the open day, rather than defaulting to the current day and time (with time accurate to the second!)

Re: mCalendar
 

couldnt agree with you more. the create new thing have made me crazy a few times. :) im realy realy hoping for a new version of the best app on my n800 soooon. ;)

Re: mCalendar
 

I have 0.4.6 under latest Diablo.

Recurring events don't show up in the weekly or monthly views. Saw a post here that said it was fixed in 0.4.5 was it broken again in 0.4.6?

Also, is there documentation anywhere about what the difference is between "formats" and "format 2" in the preferences?

Re: mCalendar
 

Hey Khertan

Do you have a list of Characters that "crash" google sync?

I used to use "&" frequently in my event descriptions until I noticed that those events would not sync properly....

TIA

Love the App

looking forward to seeing mContacts:D nudge nudge

;)

Re: mCalendar
 

If your language of choice is C apparently.

I do perl. I can do python if there's a gun to my head. So what can I do to remove these alarms that mcalendar didn't remove?

Anyone got any tutorial on writing python alarm code?

Zebee

Re: mCalendar
 

The API's DBUS. Use Perl DBUS bindings.

There are other solutions, such as alarmtool, discussed in this thread.

Re: mCalendar
 

Hi Folks,

I've got a problem after uninstalling & reinstalling mCalendar.
It simply doesn't start up. The loading appears but then mCalendar isn't launched.

I had another Problem with syncing with google.
I'm living in Germany and set it all up for Germany except for mCalendar preferences cause i didn't find it.
Every time I synced the time was always 1 hour too early.

How can i fix that?

Re: mCalendar
 

You could try starting mcalendar from the terminal. For one you'll usually get detailed error messages you might not otherwise see.

Re: mCalendar
 

Thx alot.

I'm totally new to this OS. How can I start Apps @ terminal?

Re: mCalendar
 

Terminal is an application started like any other. It's in the Utilities tab of applications and is label "X Terminal". Run that ap and a terminal window opens. You're not at what's called the command line. If you enter the name of any application followed by enter key that ap will be started and the terminal will show informational, error or warning messages. You will need to select the running terminal to see those. Ending the terminal application will also close any application started in the terminal. I'm reasonable sure the command you want is mcalendar.

Re: mCalendar
 

Thx alot again.

here is it:

~ $ mcalendar

I hope u can help me.

Re: mCalendar
 

Hi again,

I reflashed my N810 and installed mCalendar etc. again.

Got a problem with sync to google again. Always 1 hour to early on the N810. How do I fix that?

thx again

Re: mCalendar
 

i figure ill post it here, i see a new mcalendar update (probably extra-devel, naughty me) but it has a python-gtk dependency, when the correct would more likely be python2.5-gtk...

err, never mind. it was set to python2.5-gtk, but for some reason app manager can install it :(

dont tell me the right name for it is python-gtk2...

Re: mCalendar
 

Honestly I would just wait. I've been following the developer on twitter and he's close to releasing another version that will probably require a reinstall anyhow.

Re: mCalendar
 

seems like he uploaded a new release to the autobuilder in the extras-devel repository.. I hope he solved the python2.5-gtk dependency. :)

Re: mCalendar
 

the 2.5.0-1 version http://twitter.com/khertan/statuses/1311632520 that I get in the upgrade windows seems to have the python2.5-gtk dependency and I cannot understand how to install it. I have a python2.5-gtk2 package installed but that doesnt seems to matter.. maybe I should try to force it withouth that stuff...

Re: mCalendar
 

the python2.5-gtk seems to break the install.. anyone knows where to get it installed from? Khertan, sounds like we need some serious help here!

Re: mCalendar
 

-2 is up now, with fixed dep...

tho its usability is questionable. i cant find it inthe extras menu area, and im getting a while lot of database errors...

Re: mCalendar
 

Héhé :)

I just want to remember you that extras-devel is for beta testing ... so be carrefull. As this is not a stable release yet.

Re: mCalendar
 

thankfully i wont be using mcalendar until i can use syncml to sync it with my desktop.

until then i just keep it around to toy with whenever a new version shows up...

Re: mCalendar
 

there are wsys to syng google cal with syncml, google on it.

Re: mCalendar
 

i dont want to use google cal, the only google service i make use of is search, as i do not have to create a account with them to do so...

Re: calendar
 

Resistance is futile. You will be assimulated...


I just made a dang Doctors appointment and the receptionist told me if I gave her a Google email addy, she would push the date and time to my Google Calender. :eek:

Re: mCalendar
 

ye gods...

i wonder how long the "do no evil" will hold...

Re: mCalendar
 

IMHO you had two levels choice with the appointment. One was signing up for a Goggle account and the other was to share the address in trade for a convienience. I don't see the evil there. I choose applications and formats based on ubiquity of access, freedom of choice and value. Google gives me all of those -- my assimilation was a natural act. Unlike Microsoft and cell carriers I'm not maniplated against my will. Despite those two examples big doesn't dictate an evil nature. Greed and an unwillingness of business to adapt to the needs of there customers breed business oriented evil.

Re: mCalendar
 

im more worried about all the info sitting in a collection of databases ownned by a single corp tho. they can come to know a whole lot about a whole lot of people, if they want to...

Re: mCalendar
 

Can't argue with that.

Re: mCalendar
 

btw, would have been nice to know if google ever posted some kind of spec on that mail in appointment format, or if its a preexisting standard, so that it could be implemented in sunbird/lightning or similar.

Re: mCalendar
 

Here's the API -- http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/

Re: mCalendar
 

ah, so its not so much a specially formated mail as its a internal gcal feature that just need someones gmail address as a "username". bah...

Re: mCalendar
 

anyone got the new mCalender to work? When I start it its empty, when I try to open the prefs I get the following python trace. I even tried delete the .mPim folder...

Re: mCalendar
 

kept seeing that until i installed -4. now there is a icon in the menu, and it seems able to add appointments. but as the pref window seems to be dead i dont think a sync with google will work yet.

Re: mCalendar
 

no. if you try to run the sync it shows up stuff in the synclog but since we cannot add any prefs its not so usefull.. I REALY hope we will get a working pref-window very soon. :)

Re: mCalendar
 

Oups ... i forgot to add the prefs glade file ... :)

Re: mCalendar
 

It's looking real good BTW. :)

Re: mCalendar
 

anyone managed to get a gcal sync with it?

Re: mCalendar
 

So the version actually in extras devel repository is actually fully functionnal at the exceptio of the autosync which doesn't run all the time ...

Re: mCalendar
 

yes, it seems to run pretty ok.. though the whole app chrashen in the middle of the sync for me. I got a VERY crowded calender so I guess its somethnig in the there that breaks.. gonna run it from the cmd-line and see if I get any python trace.

Re: mCalendar
 

@miind Any Luck?

Version: 0.5.2.1

I am also having it crash in the middle of the sync process....which makes me sad :( (as my son like to say) as I like this SO much better than the GPECal.

It also seems to be sucking huge amounts of CPU / Memory (enough so that the tablet becomes unresponsive.

What I can see looks great, However the only things i can see are the buttons along the bottom ( Grn + ,Left arrow, Day,Week,Month,Right arrow). Nothing appears in the Day view. Week and Month both show the Month View. The preferences screen allows me to fill in all my GCal info, etc.

What is the difference between default and sync on the calendar chooser?

I just noticed an "Autosync error: global name 'dateutil' is not defined" then it crashed... (I have autosync unchecked in the Pref)

As a n800b, what is the command to run mCalendar @ the command line with logging? Where is the resulting log file, or is it just logged to the screen?

Thanks
