Hi,

I confirm that problem. ;-(

p.

comfirm
OpenSuse 12.3
KOrganizer Version 4.13

I can confirm the Problem too.

openSUSE 13.1
KDE 4.13.0

I have the same problem here... However, only with two of my categories. The colors for the other two categories are saved correctly. It seems quite arbitrary which ones are saved and which ones are not.

In my experience Korganizer correctly shows only early created categories with color inherited from 4.12. For new categories it doesn't save color

I don't know if that is true in my case; I am using 4.13.0, and only discovered about the categories feature just now.

BTW, using KDE 4.13.0 on Chakra Linux.

Could this be a Xapian bug ?

(In reply to comment #7)
> Could this be a Xapian bug ?

No. Colors are stored as tag attribute in akonadi and there is indeed TODO in
KOPrefsDialogColorsAndFonts::updateCategoryColor() to get the color from the tag. I suppose I forgot to port some parts.

Hi,

The problem still exists in 4.13.1 version. ;-(
And Max, you are right, Korganizer keep corectly color which was created early, but lose of category name. :-(

Regards,
Simon

Same here on Kubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr with KDE 4.13.0  and Antergos with KDE 4.13.0. As mentioned by Willem (Comment #6)  not every category is affected, only three of eight. All three categories are created by me.

hey guys,

you have to change this file

~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc

 search:            [CategoryC Colors2] 

you'll find all categories listet (even those that were already deleted in Korganizer)
with your prefered colors. Delete all you don't need (Idon't know if it's necessary, I did it anyway)

  search:          [General] 

you'll find all categories listet, except the categories you have created on your own!

Change it to the categories you want/need (without spaces!), save, open Korganizer.

Assign the colors for one last time to the categories and the problem should be solved!

Thank you Marc, this workaround at least solves the issue; my colors are remembered again!

So can it be that tags with spaces are the issue? I did have tags with spaces previously...

Well, first I made Spaces and suddenley ALL colors were wrong. Then I remembered Dr. Sheldon Coopers words:  "Pennyneedstogetherownwifi.....No spaces!" and that was the solution.

(I must confess that I use  Linux since 6 months now, which explains the abstract way of thinking...)

btw. sorry for double posting, I don't know how to delete the second one...

Hi, workaround does not... work for me.
There are no custom colors listed under [general] in ~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc

(In reply to comment #15)

under [general] the CATEGORIES should be listed, the colors are listed under [CategoryC Colors2]

Hi, 
no categories either. [general] only lists:

CalendarFilters=
Current Filter=
Current View=Month
Range mode=1

that's all...

hm... and if you insert the point on your own?

That's the look of the file in my ~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc


CalendarFilters=
Current Filter=
Current View=Month
Custom Categories=Besprechung,Diverses,Geburtstag,Termin,Urlaub,Arbeit,,Sonstiges,Persoenlich
Range Mode=1

just one point different...

Hi,
it partially worked. KO does remember custom color settings if i add the catagories to [general] manually...
It's not perfect, but I'm happy!

Thanks!

You're welcome

perhaps it's not the most elegant solution, but I'm glad it works (til the bug is fixed)

I also had to add 

Custom Categories-....

my self under [General]

Thanks for the workaround!

Bug still reproducible in KDE 4.14.6.

It continues in KDE 4.14.9

Stills reproduces in 4.19.2 - openSuSE 13.2 :-(

No categories are listed on [general] in my configuration file. Maybe that's a clue for the maintainers ;-)

Force is to conclude that Korganizer development is abandonned ....

Create a new catergorie, Korganizer will rember it (the name not the color!!!) but the name is not saved into korganizerrc....   It means Korganizer is actually reading the config from somewhere else!!!

Anyway that really pisses me off that 20+ comment on that bug and after 2 years no message from the developpers while 
1) this is very basic feature
2)unit testing shout automatically and easily prevent releasing code like that...
3)There is a blog entry every day on planet kde about the alleged might of KDE < they should shut up

Those people have no respect

It was adding the custom categories into general that finally did it for me. Thanks

For God's sake!!! Two years, new version of akonadi, kde and bug still exists.
WTF?!?!?!

devs are working on the Qt5/KF5 port, very little is happening in the 4.14 branch.

But the problem still exists in new branch, so...

(In reply to szymon.pysz@gmail.com from comment #42)
> But the problem still exists in new branch, so...

Which branch did you test ?

Hi,

korganizer 15.08.2-1 ; Arch Linux
If akonadi crash or kontact my colour dissapear.  All calendar are from CalDav (owncloud)

It would be nice if korganizer get colour from CalDav server.

are they retained if akonadi doesn't crash ?

Hi,

No, sometimes even reboot colour dissapear. 
Very often I have to restart agent (caldav agent) in akonadi because my calendar dissapear. 
After the reboot shows up and also without previously setting. 

Akonadi has a big problem. :(

p.

still not usable :(

are you all using the DAV resource? 

in this case this might be related to this bug here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341998

This bug appears to be fixed in Kontact/Korganizer version 15.12.1.  However bug 357236 introduces another issue that causes category colors not to render correctly.

This bug persists in Korganizer version 15.12.3-18.5! Congratulations to the busy developers......

I don't think they are busy, just non existent.

There should be a warning somewehre that KOrganizer is abandoned atm.

Cache tags by name instead of gid

To set and retrieve category colors, a TagCache is used, where tags
are stored by gid. So far, the utf8 encoding of a tag's name was used
to retrieve a tag from the cache. In general, however, the gid of a tag
is not the same as its name. Since the gid may be unknown when looking
for a tag's color, this change switches to the tags' names for keys.
