A friend of mine whom I converted to SuSE some time ago and KDE PIM circa 3.5.10 uses the "CUSTOM" fields in the Contacts portion of KMail/PIM/Contacts. Specifically, she uses the ROLE: field and has defined some custom fields like JOINED_DATE: ORIENTATION_DATE: MAILING_LIST and so on. She is still using that version but I am testing 4.4.1 of Kontact for her for possible upgrade. I have found that there is no way to edit the fields, nor use the data in those custom fields in her mailing lists programs. She has many thousands of customers/members in her business that she uses KMail and Kontact and a custom written mailing list program that can use the *.vcf fields maintained/exported by Kontact to control its' mailing of EMail to her customers and club members, which may be several thousand on any given mailing. The custom program sends / meters the rate at which she sends mail so that no single ISP is flooded with email at any time and mail is only sent to those that have requested mail previously. Her ISP used to limit her outbound send rate to so many per hour and so many per day and even that limit is accounted for in the program, but the custom fields in her Contacts list are important to her and it appears to me that while the fields seem to be in the *.vcf files that are imported (dont know if they stay there or not permanently but...), but for sure, Kontact's editor neither displays nor allows editing of these fields that were created in v3.5.10 and exported by that version. It would be somewhat imperitive for the new version of Kontact to maintain the ability to import and edit CUSTOM fields, ie, if the field is defined in an imported *.vcf file, it should be displayable and editable. Thanks for listening and I believe this to be the same 'hammer' as bug 223034.

Don't know exactly what you are telling me here. I am a true believer in "stable" (been there - done that and regretted it) but everyone on this list says 4.4 is "It" The "Cat's Meow?" so to speak. So I just jumped and upgraded to 4.4 because I was so dissapointed with KDE4 up to that point, hoping, of course, (ignorantly) that 4.4 was the answer. Apparently not. When will I learn??? Soooo....chastising me, as I have done to myself, is deserved, it would be nice if people who are in the know, would help me to extricate myself from this morass. Any and all ideas, suggestions, would be most helpful. At this moment I cannot send out emails to my distribution lists and the backlog grows significanly. Dear God, I pray that I will not have to rebuild lists with hundreds of Email addresses.

[opensuse-kde] audacious2
by Peter Czanik 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hello, I have an ugly problem with audacious2. I know, it's not a KDE application and not even something comming from an official openSUSE repository (it is packman), still I'd like to know, how this kind of problem could be debugged/solved. Since the latest KDE upgrade to 4.3.5 (which was an official upgrade on openSUSE 11.2) text in audacious menus is not shown any more (or is on black on black, which is the same from the usefulness point of view...). It worked fine before the upgrade and still works fine when I start TWM instead of KDE. Here is a screenshot: http://peter.czanik.hu/audacious_popup.png Bye, CzP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] two weirdnesses with kde 4.4.1
by Mathias Homann 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hi, I'm running 4.4.1 from buildservice:kde:kde4:factory on an 11.2 and I'm having two weird effects here: 1. when I put my mouse pointer over a desktop icon, a black circle with a + sign appears in the top left corner of that icon. I can click that + to turn it into a -, but there's no other visible effect than that... where does that come from, how do I get rid of it or what is it good for? 2. On every login the icons on my desktop arrange themselves in several neat columns along the left edge of my desktop. All options that I could find regarding icon placement have already been switched off. With as many desktop icons as I have this can be rather annoying... Any hints? My desktop is configured like this: 8 virtual desktops, only one activity set (desktop view), pointing to the standard desktop folder (~/Desktop). "Glassified" plasma theme, oxygen window decorations & icons & style. ~ is on a nfs share. composite effects are active. ... I'm running the same configuration on my laptop (same versions installed, same desktop setup, same "look configuration"), and neither of the two is happening there... the only difference that I can think of is that on the laptop ~ is on a local partition... Anyone got some suggestions for me? thanks, MH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Can't Ctrl C and Ctrl V to copy and paste from Konqueror?
by Bob Smits 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

I've been using Kaggregator in KDE-PIM, which uses Konqueror as the browser to go to links from Kaggregator. Unfortunately, Konqueror no longer seems to be able to Copy highlighted material with Ctrl C, and then to write it with Ctrl V, the way we've done it for ever. Is this a setting I've missed? Or is this a new "feature" in Konqueror?

[opensuse-kde] OpenSync and KDE
by Malte Gell 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hello, I want to sync my Nokia N97 with KOrganizer from Kontact. I use openSUSE 11.1 and try to learn about OpenSync. I would like to know, does the libopensync-plugin-kdepim that comes with openSUSE 11.1 support KDE 4 or only KDE 3? I use KDE 4.3.5.
