Synchronizing with KOrganizer

On the KDE desktop, calendars, to-dos (tasks) and events (appointments) are mangaged with KOrganizer.

Managing your Calendar Appointments

KPilot allows you to sync your appointments and display them in KOrganizer. By default, KPilot uses the standard KOrganizer file. However, this is not always a good idea. If save your appointments into a different file, you can easily switch on or off the calendar in KOrganizer and make it distinguish it from other sources. Proceed as follows:

Start KOrganizer: press Alt+F2 and enter korganizer.
Create a new calendar file. Right-click in the lower left pane (named with Calendar) and choose Add.... If it is currently hidden, select Settings+Sidebar+Show Resource View to enable it.
Choose Calendar in local file. A new dialog window opens.
Insert a name into the text field (for example “Palm”) and choose the location of your calendar file. It is recommended to use the directory ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/. Proceed with Ok.
Start KPilot.
Go to Settings+Configure KPilot. The configuration dialog appears. Enable Conduits+Calendar (KOrganizer) and in Calendar Destination switch to Calendar file. Select the calendar file that you have created in KOrganizer. Finish with Ok.

The next time you synchronize your appointments, it will be saved into the new file.

Managing ToDo Items and Events

Initially, it should be sufficient to enable the ToDos conduit without changing any of the defaults. If you want to store your Todo list in the same file as shown in Section 13.4.1, “Managing your Calendar Appointments”, proceed as follows:

Start KPilot and select Settings+Configuring KPilot.
Enable the ToDos (KOrganizer) conduit.
Select in the To do Destination the entry Calendar file. Point it to the file that you have created in Step 2.

The next time you synchronize your todos, it will be saved into the above file.
