Re: [Evolution-hackers] GtkTree vs. ETable in the GNOME 2 port

The GNOME 2 port is not in sight yet, but the GTK 2.x schedule seems to be pretty unmovable and we are in need of some extra features in GtkTree before the transition becomes possible. So, I am writing this mail in an attempt to list the things that need to be hacked in GtkTree before it is feature-complete for Evolution. I don't think it handles printing, which we use for the addressbook and tasks folder.

Re: [Evolution] Calendar bug

Evolution said something like 'update complete' but if I go to calendar, there is no meeting visible. But on the day number (where the meeting should be) is bold in the small calendar in upper right corner. I tried to delete my whole calendar (evolution/local/Calendar) and to apply the vCalendar again but with the same result. What's wrong? I'm using Evolution 1.0.2 from Debian Sid(unstable). I tried adding it to my calendar, and Evolution changed the TZID from: TZID:Belgrade, Bratislava, Budapest, Ljubljana, Prague to: TZID:Belgrade TZID: Bratislava TZID: Budapest TZID: Ljubljana TZID: Prague Do the second group of TZIDs appear in your calendar file? (in ~/evolution/local/Calendar/calendar.ics) This is incorrect. When Evolution tries to convert the event times to display in the calendar it won't be able to find the right timezone so it will skip the event. I think the problem is probably in libical, since I don't think Evolution touches the TZID string.

[Evolution-hackers] Problems with Outlook and iCalendar
I discovered on Friday that although Outlook was parsing our VTIMEZONE data, it wasn't actually using it correctly. It turns out that Outlook only seems to look at the first 2 RRULEs or the first RDATE in the VTIMEZONE (i.e. you can have 2 RRULEs specifying standard daylight time forever, or you can have 1 UTC offset forever.) So I've spent the weekend trying to work around this problem. I've rearranged our VTIMEZONEs so the current RRULEs or RDATEs come first, so Outlook will use those. I also wrote a script to create an iCalendar file with events in all of our 372 timezones, and imported that into Outlook. It looks like the zones are handled OK now. (These aren't in CVS yet, though.) Damon PS. Some good news - I found a few more bugs in the timezone code, and we now agree with mktime()/localtime() in all 372 zones from 1990-2009, except in Asia/Bishkek for 1 hour in 1992!

I think we've fixed the major problems with iTIP Outlook in Beta 4 so now is the time for people to test it out again and report problems. Also, I am still having a lot of problems with Timezone. When exchanging info with Outlook users, their iCal comes as UTC. When displayed in Evolution calendar, those events translate correctly to my timezone. But when I edit those events, it shows the time as UTC (Same behavior for other timezone. see bug day iCal for example). I feel that there should at least be an option or a check box to translate that time to my timezone or that changing the timezone in edit mode will correctly update the date and time of day correctly. Also in the summary those same events are shown in UTC not in my timezone which render them unusable a least to me. Any idea if these problems are going to be addressed before 1.0. It is a major inconvenience. For simple events (no recurrence) Outlook sends the start and end time in UTC, with no timezone information at all. So I'm not sure if we can fix the problem in the event editor. I think we have to show the time in UTC there. The 'Summary' component was recently fixed - it should now convert times to your current timezone. Am I the only one exchanging iCal with Outlook users or others found a way of getting to work that I haven't figure out ?

I've added special 'compare' functions for these columns. The problem is that the ETableModel _get functions for these columns format a string into a static buffer and return that. But this won't work with ETableSorter, as it calls the _get function of multiple rows at a time (so it ends up with multiple pointers to the same static buffer). I think we need an option in the ETableSorter to duplicate any cells it needs to get for the comparison. clahey: Is that possible?

Re: [Evolution] Pilot synch and todo

I am no using Jpilot, though). Original Post I am sucessfully using the pilot synching on evolution (lastest release). So far, almost everything works great. The only problem, 'todo' items that are marked completed dont go away. They show up even though I set the todo prefs to 'hide completed todo's after 1 min.'. Is this a known issue, or am I missing something else. Yes, that isn't implemented yet. We need to add it to bugzilla.

[Evolution-hackers] shortcut bar group buttons look awful in pixmap themes (Bug #1229)
I'm thinking of reverting the shortcut bar to use the EClippedLabel widget, so that it is displayed correctly with pixmap themes. That would mean moving EClippedLabel from evolution/widgets/misc to gal/widgets. Any objections?

The problem with this is that you already provided it during the initial setup. Possible Solution: - Save the timezone value. If it's not set (they didn't select it in the startup wizard) then prompt, and use that value for any for any unset timezone entries. If the task / calendar / inbox component need their own timezones then they can be changed in the preferences already. IMHO the chances of a normal user having different timezones set is very very low. Did you actually select a timezone in the initial setup? If you did, then we may have a bug. If you just hit 'OK' without choosing a timezone then it is your fault ;) Actually we should probably make sure the user chooses a timezone before proceeding. I've changed it so the tasks/calendar components never prompt for the timezone now anyway. --- Problem: - The first thing you see on entering the Tasks component is a line saying Click to add a task. Well, basically it doesn't work. You click, and nothing happens except that the line changes to blank fields, and double clicking / right clicking has no effect. Possible Solution: - Have clicking on the click to add a task entry launch the same dialog that the toolbar new task item launches. NOTE: After adding a task via the toolbar, clicking on the click here to add a new task worked. I have confirmed that Click to add a task ONLY works if there is a task already in the list. This looks like a problem with the underlying ETable widget. I'm not sure if it is a known problem or not. We do have several problems with it at present.

Re: [Evolution] viewing calendar
David Sayres wrote: Since upgrading to evo 0.10, gnome 1.4, RH7.1 I'm not able to view any appointments in the calendar. If I make a new appointment it does not appear in the window, though it does get written to the calendar.ics file. Does anyone know how to fix this or why evo isn't reading the calendar file?? I haven't heard of that problem before. Does the event not appear in any of the calendar views (day/week/month)?

Re: [Evolution] task: URL field
Thomas R. Shannon wrote: I noticed that in the details dialog for tasks there is a URL text box. The box brought to mind a post that I made a few weeks ago. It might be really cool to have a button which executes the file or brings up the web page indicated based upon mime type. In fact, it would be a very logical extension of the field. Any comments?

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Do we want timezones for tasks?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Strictly speaking, incorporation of time zones should be provided in a framework layer below the application layer, because of their universal uses. I am not certain how Linux / Gnome incorporates time zones (and how they are changed), but when someone travels with their laptop and changes the time zone to the new location, it is reasonable to expect that appointments and tasks are displayed reflecting the corrected time(s). Unfortunately Unix has pretty poor support for timezones, so we've had to use our own code to be compatable with the iCalendar spec. The user will be able to set the current timezone within Evolution, but it won't be connected to the OS's timezone. Maybe we'll be able to fix this in the future. P.S. There are not 365 timezones (offsets) -- it's closer to 24. We use the Olson timezone database, which has timezone information for 365 cities. Using offsets is not enough - different countries have different daylight-savings rules.

Re: [Evolution] recurrences
Xavier Bestel wrote: Hi folks ! I've tried to schedule a recurrent appointment, each last thursday, but the best I could do was to set it each 4th thursday, which is not the same sometimes (for example, in may, it should be the 31st instead of the 24th). Yes, we should support choosing the last Thursday. (The internal code supports it, but the interface doesn't at the moment.) I've added it to the bugtracker.

Re: [Evolution] Gnome Calendar broke my Evolution calendar!
John Leach wrote: I decided to bring in the trusty old gnome calendar program to view (and add to) my evolution calendar (~/evolution/local/Calendar/calendar.ics assuming it was in a standard format. Everything opened up fine, I edited the calendar and saved it. Evolution uses the iCalendar format, while gnomecal uses the older vCalendar standard. So you shouldn't use them directly on each others' files. We plan on adding a vCalendar importer before 1.0. But I don't think we have a way to convert vCalendar to iCalendar at the moment.
