Thank you for your suggestion on todo list plasmoid, actually it's what I was looking for;) Still it would be nice to have these two functionalities merged into one plasmoid, but hey, I can get rid of remember the milk at last:)

Keep up the good work!

After a restart all resources are shown/selected instead a of the subset I choosed before the restart.

Except for that: great work. very good.

Hello? anybody out there? Is this project still maintained? It's really good and I found nothing similar.

I really would appreciate a fix to the resource bug.

You see how often I use this feature ;-)

Can test the fix in the git repository?
Else I can send you a patch.

I'm sorry for my harsh words... I did not even see there was a new release. I checked the Changelog and noticed that my "bug" was not fixed yet and - yeah it was late :)

I try to try the newest git version ;)

My try to get the files from the repository failed... I thought there might be an easy way without knowing git...

The command is
git clone http://github.com/geflei/plasmoid-eventlist.git

for the first time.
To stay uptodate
git pull

And stupid me allways tried git checkout (like svn co).

Anyway: it works. I restarted plasma and it was still configured. great work :)

there's a new release since may 24th so yes it's still maintained.

i noticed a strange behaviour after using the applet start to use a lot of memory (usually i'm using around 1.5go on 6Go available)
i'm noticing since under kde 4.3.5 (mandriva 2010.0 up to date ) & kde 4.4.1 (mandriva cooker) faster in the second case (probably less than 5 minutes against 2 hours for kde 4.3.5).
The plasmoid is of course build against each version of kde.
Under each akonadi i've got 7 calendars
3 of them are using local ical files,1 in the birthday calendar and the 3 others are ical file available on http
Please let me know what i should do to provide more information
In the ~/.xsession-errors i can read (when it's starting to use a lot of memory) a lot of

I cannot reproduce that, but i dont have such a "complicated setup".
You can try "plasmoidviewer plasma_applet_events" on the console if there's some more related info in the output.
Add some kDebug() stuff in the model code, if you can.
It does not happen right from the beginning?
Can you try with disabled calendars?

Greetings, Gerd

i'm not sure where to add the Kdebug() info :/
i guess it's in eventmodel.cpp or eventmodel.h but that's all (yes i'm not a coder :p ).

I can increase the speed of the « memory & cpu » usage when setting the day to display to 7 (instead of the 365 default).
i don't have more useful logs when starting the applet with plasmoidviewer.
i'll try to use only one calendar to test

on the logs (see below) i add an entry & after set the display to 10 & after 7
then it started to used a lof of memory & cpu probably after a 5 minutes delay.
At this moment it is not possible to access to the configuration applet menu.

Ok, I can reproduce the duplicate stuff.
I hope I find some time the next days to take a look at it.

on this test the applet was running under kde 4.4.1 with 4 akonadi ressources 1 ical file & 3 ical file available on http & check every 60 minutes

Hello,

I think that the Date and Time should be used as category instead of Misc in plasma-applet-events.desktop

cf http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Plasma/PIG#Category_Names


Regards,

Yes, thats right, will correct it in the next version.

Thanks, Gerd

Hi,
I updated, and it looks fine in plasmoidviewer.

Here are some suggestions:

1. The usage of a timer to figure out when to update is broken for many laptop users, since we tend to just suspend the system (well, I do at least), so the applet isn't correctly updated. I suggest using the time engine and to check weather to update every 1, 5 or 10 minutes, at least as long as there is no safe way of knowing when the system resumes (there is not at this point, afaics).

2. instead of or in addition to updating at midnight, update when the next event is finished, so that past events never shows.

3. For events "today" or "tomorrow", do not show the date in the event string. "10:30 Meeting with development team" would suffice!

4. Change the group "week" to "this week" and have it contain events in the rest of the current week (after "today" and "tomorrow") if any. For those events, the string could be "Friday 10.30 Meeting with development team" ("<day> <time> <event title>")

5. I am not aware of the following titles, but after "this week", maybe "next week" would be nice, followed by month groups.

6. Default to a shorter time than a year, what about 7 days?

7. Make the event title simpler - what about just "upcoming events"? Afterall "akonadi" is an abstraction that is not really meant for end users!

8. Replace the tooltip with a nice plasma one :)

9. If contact/korganizer is running, the edit dialog is displayed on a different desktop, and not getting focus. Maybe there is a way to fix this, or will be in the future? The nicest thing would be to create a dialog for it unrelated to korganizer, but I do not know if the dialog is available for that.

Hm, that was a lot of suggestions - I could maybe help with some of it, if you like it?

Trying to add another instance of this applet makes plasma crash. There is no bt, plasma just restarts.

Hi,
I could not do "git clone http://github.com/geflei/plasmoid-eventlist/", file http://github.com/geflei/plasmoid-eventlist/info not found. Did you run git update-server-info on the server? (question from git output)

I'm new to git though, so this may be a mistake on my side (?)

Nm, I found the clone url at github.com. Learning...

For the resource selection:

There should be a "Select shown resources" entry in the context menu that opens a popup dialog?

I can't find any. Is there a branch i should use? Btw, what about putting it in the settings dialog?

Hmm, works for me with
git clone git://github.com/geflei/plasmoid-eventlist.git

Should be the 3. entry after "open event" and "new event"?

If not send me an pm wit your email, I'll send you a patch.

I'm not sure to put it in the settings dialog as the resources are independent of the applet and my change (probably rare case ;-).
I think about an option to remember the not shown resources of the session.
