Description info 2007-02-17 12:46:09 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I keep getting an errormessage from korganizer:
"Cannot write archive to final destination."

I don't seem to loose any data, it is just really distracting to get this message all the time.

Google doesn't return anything useful.

It may be a file permission issue, but I can't see anything wrong with 
~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc or ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/*, they are all writable.

I have no idea where to look or what "archive" it is trying to write. Any suggestions welcome.

This bug turned up over a year ago and has been with me ever since, now in version 3.5.6.

It may not be a bug but a local problem, but at least I suggest to make the error message more informative (which file is it trying to access?). Thanks!

I had the same problem. Turns out that the directory that my korganizer archive file lives in didn't exist. You may want to check that the directory exists in:

File -> Archive old entries -> Archive file

Cheers,


Jeremy

Thans Jeremy, that was the problem.

SVN commit 847222 by winterz:

fix bug "Errro "cannot write archive to final destination""
Basically, we simply use more description error string from KIO::NetAccess.
But strings have changed so we can't backport.
