Two things.
1) Sync seems to work one way only for me. I have local_file configed for calendar and address book to write to the tablet regardless of dates or existence. If I make a change on the PC and a different non-conflicting change on my tablet, hook it up via USB and local_file sync the tablet change gets updated on the PC but not PC change onto the tablet.
2) Is it probable that the calendar and address book main windows will get tweaked to fit the tablet screen size? If I ran linux on my laptop and had the dev environment installed I'd do it myself but the closest I got was trying unsuccessfully to install it in VM.
Tank you,

In the meantime, maybe you will be interested in using the screen-rotation. At least that way you can see the whole Kdepimpi window.
Seems to be usable that way, although I haven't used it much because it still doesn't have sound alarms.

This post describes how to set up the alarm...see step #6.

Can the tablet see the file that was created as a local file on the PC when the devices are connected via USB?
I know that the tablet's filesystems are visible to the PC, but I didn't think that the reverse was true by default. Perhaps this is why changes only synchronize from the tablet to the PC.

However, you don't need to wait for the program to be tweaked...this post describes how you can configure your tablet so that all the pop-up windows are "floating" windows, and can be moved around. This allows you to reposition the window so that buttons at the bottom are visible, etc.

I'll play with network syncing.

My concern is more the bottom of the main window where I cannot ever see the last few rows of data or slide the scroll slider past the physical boundary of my tablet. The window is simply too large and seems like the bottom ought to be able to be moved up a few 10's of pixels. That's ignorant optimism on my part though.
Thank you,

I'm pretty sure that you're referring to some kind of KDE package, perhaps for collaboration... In that case, the answer is absolutely "NO".
As it states earlier in this topic, despite the name, KDEPIMPI has almost no relationship with KDE...it doesn't provide or depend on any KDE components.

I just followed z2n's instructions (first posting of this thread) and it indeed does work. Here are some glitches I found:
Kdepimpi seems to be the only calendar for the n810 which allows dragging agenda items around. This is one of the feature I need the most (I change plans frequently), even more than syncing (I gave up on syncing altogether). So this work is really much appreciated.

- These seems to be no way to run it fullscreen
- As a consequence you don't have enough space for some dialogs. If you edit an agenda item, the ok button is not visible.
- You can work around this by either pressing "return" or by rotating the screen (search maemo.org for instructions how to do this)
- It does not activate the on-screen keyboard when you klick on a text field, but it works with the hardware keyboard.
- This limits the usefulness of portrait mode quite a bit.
- I could not install it on the internal mmc card (by creating a symlink for /opt), because the installation wants to do a chown which does not seem to work on fat filesystems.

Right.- As a consequence you don't have enough space for some dialogs. If you edit an agenda item, the ok button is not visible.
- You can work around this by either pressing "return" or by rotating the screen (search maemo.org for instructions how to do this)
My work-around is to change the DIALOGMODE so that the dialog windows float freely....so that you can drag them up, hiding the top of the window off-screen, but exposing the buttons at the bottom of the window.- It does not activate the on-screen keyboard when you klick on a text field, but it works with the hardware keyboard.
Right. Unfortunately, some windows, such as the text-entry fields for creating a new calendar entry, don't accept the "Fn"-shifted characters.- This limits the usefulness of portrait mode quite a bit.
- I could not install it on the internal mmc card (by creating a symlink for /opt), because the installation wants to do a chown which does not seem to work on fat filesystems.
Hmmm...I never thought about that, as my mmc card is formatted as ext3.
Kdepimpi seems to be the only calendar for the n810 which allows dragging agenda items around. This is one of the feature I need the most (I change plans frequently), even more than syncing (I gave up on syncing altogether). So this work is really much appreciated.
I'm really glad to hear that someone else is using kdepimpi.
It's not clear to me what you mean about syncing...I regularly sync kdepimpi (calendar & contact list) between my N810 and my Linux desktop. It's even possible to sync between kdepimpi and other calendar systems that can read/write "ical" format files. The gcaldaemon program can be used to convert an ical file to/from the Google calendar format, allowing sync from kdepimpi to the Google calendar. (I haven't gotten gcaldaemon running on my N810, but it works find on my desktop: (Google calendar) <==> (desktop KDEPIMPI) <==> (N810 KDEPIMPI)
It just loads/doesn't load without any logical reason.
1. I start the calendar - it opens (same faults as in error msg 2 in my post above)
2. I restart the calendar & it auto shutsdown (errormsg 1 from above)
3. If startet it just seg-faults when i press i.e. button A. I restart press button A again & everything is fine. I press Button A again - and segfault (or the other way around...)
Besides - as mentioned there are cosmetic issues - like no visible symbol on the symbol bar (except the "what's this" arrow).
But as it is - it's not just some "cosmetic" stuff - it's just not usable.
I suppose it might be possible to just delete the line in the code that starts that (allready startet) "sharedPainter".
Unfortunatley - i don't know, how to search the code via my PC. Seraching via tablett is not an option
Maybe one with a VM on the desktop can search for the text?
If i can do ANYTHING to help - don't hesitate to page/mail me!!!
I don't care if i have to setup the tablett - atm it's COMPLETLY useless for me.
