Version: 3.2 pre (using KDE 3.1.9) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.2 20030908 (Debian prerelease) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-ck2-bbns Greeting, I found that KOrganizer has some problems while reopening the KOrganizer after save and close the KOrganizer. The data stored in Chinese became unrecognizable. All I can do is retype them in English. The problem existed in KDE 3.1.x through 3.2 CVS Head. KOrganizer is great program but so far I have to chose Gnome as my personal information manager. Tim Tsai
Could you please attach a example calendar file containing chinese text and maybe a screenshot how it should look like on screen. If Evolution works ok with chinese you could also attach an Evolution generated iCalendar file as reference.
Created attachment 2735 [details] KOrgranizer .ics file with Chinese text
Created attachment 2736 [details] The Chinese data become a mess.
Created attachment 2737 [details] the Calendar file generated by Evolution The file works fine with Evolution but when I open it with KOrganizer, it looks terrible. I don't know why, because it looks normal under Kate. However, .ics generated via KOrganizer only few Chinese words are recognizable under Kate.
Created attachment 2738 [details] the screenshot from Evolution. Works perfect!
I think the problem is not only .ics file itself but also KOrganizer because the KOrganzier can't even see Chinese with .ics from the Evolution. Both of .ics are utf8 format and I have no idea why it doesn't work.
Subject: kdepim CVS commit by kainhofe: Fix KOrganizer's encoding problems: -) load all files as latin1, unfold long lines and only then interpret it as utf8 (the calendar file is not strictly utf8!!!) -) Fix utf8-problems with group scheduling (characters are now correctly interpreted as utf8 for everything, LC_* settings are irrelevant. Dirk's patch solved only part of the problem.) -) Fix all encoding problems that had to do with various settings of the LC_* environment variables, since the calendar file does no longer use local8Bit for anything. -) This also fixes printing cyrillic text (it was not a printing problem, but again the encoding problem, since local8Bit was used) CCMAIL: 52404-done@bugs.kde.org, 52687-done@bugs.kde.org, 54023-done@bugs.kde.org, 55387-done@bugs.kde.org, 55541@bugs.kde.org, 59106-done@bugs.kde.org, 59998@bugs.kde.org, 65815-done@bugs.kde.org M +4 -0 korganizer/mailscheduler.cpp 1.22 M +5 -0 korganizer/outgoingdialog.cpp 1.37 M +2 -0 korganizer/plugins/webexport/exportwebdialog.cpp 1.4 M +7 -13 libical/src/libical/icalvalue.c 1.10 M +1 -1 libkcal/calformat.cpp 1.12 M +3 -3 libkcal/htmlexport.cpp 1.6 M +11 -4 libkcal/icalformat.cpp 1.52 M +2 -2 libkcal/icalformatimpl.cpp 1.92
Greeting, in KDE 3.2 Beta1 the problem still exists.
Created attachment 3151 [details] KOrganizer in KDE 3.2 Beta1 Screen Shot The Chinese data still remains unfunctional.
Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created korganizer-devel mailing list.
Do Chinese events it still not work with KOrganizer from the 3.5 releases? I just tried it and -- apart from the fact that I don't have any chinese fonts installed -- it seems to work. At least the same number of characters is shown as in the evo screenshots. I don't know if the right letters are used, but I don't know any reason why not. Cheers, Reinhold
I believe this bug is now fixed in KOrganizer with svn trunk r865619 (KDE 4.2). The evolution file (which is encoded in valid UTF-8) imports fine, and displays all the characters correctly in KOrganizer, and when subsequently exported, the .ics file contains all the valid characters.
