Description Dotan Cohen 2009-06-20 01:21:28 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.90)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When upgrading from KDE 4.2 to KDE 4.3 all the user's templates are gone.

I'm using trunk and templates are fine.

Couldn't that be a ubuntu problem?
Comment 2 Dotan Cohen 2009-06-20 02:14:07 UTC
I suppose that it _could_ be a distro problem, but it seems much more likely to be a KDE problem to me. I think that it is premature to close the bug as DOWNSTREAM but if you feel that is the right thing to do then I will not object.

Dotan,

Do you have stuff in ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/templates?
That's were templates are stored.

If not, we need to figure out if korganizer removed them, or if something else happened to them.

If there, then we need to figure out why korganizer isn't seeing them.
Comment 4 Allen Winter 2009-06-20 02:42:07 UTC
Dotan,

Also check for a value EventTemplates in your korganizerrc file.
EventTemplates is the list of valid templates.

I have already recreated the templates, but judging by the dates of the files in there some of the old templates still exist:

jaunty2@laptop:~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/templates/Event$ ls -l
total 40
-rw-r--r-- 1 jaunty2 jaunty2  542 2009-04-23 23:09 ארגון לתת

jaunty2@laptop:~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/templates/Event$

As I updated to 4.3 in 2009-06, anything older than that was my old templates.

As I've already added new templates, I do not know how valid this is, but it shows the two currently-configured templates. I do not know what was there before I added them, though.

jaunty2@laptop:~/.kde/share/config$ cat korganizerrc | grep EventTemplates
EventTemplates=התנדבות בלתת,פגישה עם יעל
EventTemplates=התנדבות בלתת,פגישה עם יעל
jaunty2@laptop:~/.kde/share/config$



I suspect that the problem was in korganizerrc, as the templates still exist in~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/templates/Event.
Comment 6 Allen Winter 2009-06-20 14:39:19 UTC
So it seems korganizer did not remove the template files.  That's good news at least.

Let's wait and see if any other ubuntu users experience the same bug.
Comment 7 Allen Winter 2009-09-04 23:38:11 UTC
Dotan,

Can we close this?
Yours is the only bug report about this, so I really don't know what more we can do to solve it... unless you have more info.

Sure. If nobody else is complaining it may have been due to the way Ubuntu packaged KDE 4.3 or even some mistake of my own.
