Synchronizing a Handheld Computer with KPilot
5.2.3 Managing To-Do Items and Events
On the KDE desktop, to-dos (tasks) and events (appointments) are managed with
KOrganizer. Start the application from the main menu or with the command
korganizer. After enabling the calendar and the to-do conduit of KPilot, set
some configuration options before using them.
Figure 5.2: KPilot Configuration
KOrganizer stores its files in the directory ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer.
However, given that the directory .kde/ begins with a dot, it may not be shown
by the file selection dialog. In this case, enter the complete path manually or ex-
plicitly toggle the display of hidden files (dot files) in the file selection dialog. The
default shortcut for this is




F8 .
After opening the directory ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer, select a file
that can be used as a calendar file by KOrganizer. In our example, this is the
file palm.ics. In the case of a user called tux, the complete path and file name
would be /home/tux/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/palm.ics, as shown
in Figure 5.3 on the next page.
KOrganizer should not be running when data is being exchanged with the hand-
held. Otherwise KPilot fails to carry out the sync operation.
