Re: [Evolution] Evolution 3.2.1 questions

2012-01-16 Thread Pete Biggs

 
 1.  Is the link to Google Calendar bi-directional?  If I add or change
 an event in Evolution, will it be reflected on the Google server?

Yes.

 
 2.  When will the link to Google contacts include syncing groups, in
 addition to the main address book?  Is there an add-on that will
 accomplish this?
 
syncing? - as far as I know it doesn't sync contacts locally, it uses
them direct from Google.  But yes, groups are catered for - they are
represented within Evo as categories - you may have to add the
category within Evo for it to be able to be used, but the functionality
is there.

Re: [Evolution] Ran out of Disk Space Error

 I have the alternate folder location as noted in the reference you gave
 it is:
 
 $HOME/.local/share/evolution has 773 items, totalling 783.7 MB.
 
 $HOME/.config/evolution has 56 items, totalling 56.8 KB
 
 $HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution is 59 items, totalling 133.7 KB
 
 Not sure if this is good or not, they are non-zero which seems good, but
 my inbox and folders were many thousands of emails so the size seems too
 small. And still evolution does not start except to wizard new user
 screen.

 ...
 
 What I don't understand is that I ran out of disk space, evolution was
 not running but is corrupt/missing, why would the files be
 lost/over-written and why I now have 50Gib free and the only thing
 apparently missing is evolution. I would have expected the computer to
 stop but not overwrite data??

Hi,
the information about configured accounts is stored in GConf, and if it
failed to store its cached values due to disk full error then it results
in this New Account Wizard issue. The problem is that adding new
accounts will not help, because they will get assigned new IDs, but you
can use your outdated backup and restore from it only account
definitions. If you didn't add any new account, or removed or anything
like that, then you'll be able to restore it also with your mails.

Make sure you've not running any evolution related processes, like
e-calendar-factory, e-addressbook-factory or evolution-alarm-notify.
Then extract the backup file to a /tmp or anywhere else, to a new
directory, find there the backup-restore-gconf.xml file. Replace in it
each #EVO_USERDATADIR# with /home/login/.local/share/evolution and
run this command:
   $ gconftool-2 --load backup-restore-gconf.xml
which should restore your accounts.
Hope that helps,
Milan

Re: [Evolution] Configuring Evolution

2012-01-16 Thread CLOSE Dave
I asked:
 There are a number of parameters which I'd love to tweak for Evolution
 but I don't see any way to change them through the UI. For example, I'd
 like to be able to change the length of lines used when wrapping text.
 Does Evolution have any hidden configuration interface comparable to
 Firefox's about:config. Are these parameters stored in Gconf and, if
 so, are they documented somewhere?

Pete and Andre answered, pointing to the FAQ and some online help.
Thanks. That takes care of the line wrap question. But I'd still like to
know if there is a complete list of all configuration parameters
somewhere.

And at least one of them mentioned in the FAQ doesn't seem to work for
me. I have,

  $ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style
  text

But I still get icons on the toolbar. Of course, I'm running KDE on
Fedora 16 so maybe there is some reason Evolution ignores the setting in
this situation?

Re: [Evolution] Image loading threads don't cancel

2012-01-16 Thread Lailah

It happens to me too and is very annoying.  A bug perhaps?

 When an HTML message is loading images, its thread will not cancel when
 you change to another message. This is unacceptable behaviour. The
 thread that loads parts of a message should cancel immediately when the
 user changes to a different message. If it does not, the whole
 application hangs, sometimes for a very long time. Even clicking the
 cancel button on the thread does not stop it.

Make sure gnome-settings-daemon is running.  It feeds display and font
settings like toolbar-style to GTK+ applications.

Hi,
let's move with this to evolution-hackers (where you posted this too),
because this list is intended for users, not for developers.
Bye,
