I totally agree (using kde 3.2 beta2). It also affects other notes, so it's a very annoying bug. Only workaround is to disable to knotes plugin in kontact. Happens here too =\ *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 67782 *** sorry, problem still exists for Kontact => Knotes *** Bug 72799 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** In KDE 3.2 RC1 this bug is not there anymore, so this one should be closed,. Cheers, Jeroen reappeared in 3.2 release. *** Bug 76152 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Is this fixed with yesterday's knotes plugin backporting from HEAD? Yes. This problem still persists when using an IMAP-resource for the notes (kdepim version CVS Oct21, 2004): notes are not synchronized between knotes (hereafter knotes) in the systray and the notes plugin in kontact (hereafter kontact plugin). Steps to reproduces: 1. Start knotes, kontact plugin 2. Type some text in a new note in knotes 3. Note is not updated in kontact plugin 4. Try the other way round, same problem Expected result: Notes should be synchronized, or there should be a method to get them synchronized easily. I tried this: Only restarting knotes (systray icon -> quit; Run Command -> knotes) updates the notes there, and only restarting kontact plugin (Select components -> unselect, apply, select, apply) updates the notes shown in kontact. Notes are apparently written to the IMAP resource, but just not reread when the kontact plugin gets focus again, or when knotes gets focus. Suggestions: - I realize that this might create overhead if you have to check on the IMAP resource every time the focus changes to knotes or the kontact plugin. - Maybe knotes can send a dcop call to the kontact plugin when a note is changed to tell the kontact plugin to update. Same trick the other way round. This is not a very good solution either, because other programs that want to read notes will have the same problem and would require a change in the knotes and kontact plugin code... - Maybe a dcop entry to knotes and the kontact plugin to ask for the last time a note changed... - Last suggestion: a "refresh notes" button in both apps if working with IMAP resources. By far the easiest, I guess ;-) But then again, I am not a programmer, so please forgive me if I am missing something obvious. Thanks for the truly great work you are doing! Wouter PS: I can make this a new bug report if you want. I just thought that creating a new bug report with exactly the same title would be confusing... With Knotes 3.3.1 and Kontact 1.0.1, notes-plugin 0.1, the problem still exists. This bug should be re-opened. I have a related problem too. On my KDE 3.4.1 system, if I make a new note in Kontact (1.1.1) with Notes Management plugin (0.5) and KNotes (3.5) open in systray, I have to close KNotes and re-open it for the new note to appear on the desktop. It'd be nice for there to be some kind of push mechanism from kontact->knotes such that new notes or changes to notes from Kontact are pushed to KNotes, which immediately makes the changes in its own view. This bug should be reopened, it still appears in kdepim-3.5.5-0.2.fc6: Notes written in Kontact notes plugin will not appear in KNotes, and vica versa. Restarting either app doesn't help.
