PortableSunbird ics file using relative paths

Submitted by twnty3svn on August 2, 2006 - 7:56am

Has anyone been able to successfully make a ics file visable in PortableSunbird 0.3 using the Remote WebDAV setting?

I use Rainleader on my USB drive, and currently with version 0.2 it works flawlessly, however with 0.3 it can't seem to get it to work.

My directory structure is R:\PortableAPPS\SunbirdPortable\... (with the rest of the structure in place, as per original).

I've tried file:///../../Data/profile/calendar.ics (where calendar.ics is my file residing in the profile directory), however everytime it says finish, it does not show up, and when i edit the calendar it now reads file:///Data/profile/calendar.ics

Must the calendar files live within the SunbirdPortable folder?

I've long had my calendar files stored separately to the calendar application, to make it easier to find when connecting it to different Sunbird/calendar variants. However with Sunbird Portable, it seems to insist that they live at:
SunbirdPortable\Data\profile\Calendar

All of my attempts to move them to a path outside of SunbirdPortable\ results in SunbirdPortable changing their locations back to the default (and ending in empty calendars).

Is this intended? Other versions of sunbird etc. let the calendar files be anywhere.

How to do an INDENT (not a TAB) inside AbiWord?

How do you do an INDENT inside AbiWord? By INDENT, I do not mean TAB, which is different. Permit me to labor the point about INDENT versus TAB because I have tried to get an answer off the AbiWord Internet site and forum, but without result.

To wit, the INDENT:

(indent)(indent)(indent)THIS IS AN INDENT, BECAUSE AS YOU TYPE THE TEXT AND
(indent)(indent)(indent)HOPE THE INDENT WILL WORK, THE HOPED-FOR COPY WILL
(indent)(indent)(indent)LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

To wit, the TAB:

(tab)(tab)(tab)ON THE OTHER HAND, WHEN YOU DO THE SAME THING USING
TAB RATHER THAN INDENT, THE RESULTING TEXT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS.

Sunbird: Google iCal importing bug, dec 31 1969 on repeating tasks

Submitted by Trahloc on May 16, 2006 - 2:59am

I just tried out the portable sunbird, great program except for this flaw. When I import iCal from Calendar.Google.com the repeating tasks repeat every day, regardless of the fact that they're setup for weekly events... and not only that it appears to wrap around the year in an infinite loop.

When I look at the "end" date, it shows December 31, 1969.

I downloaded the latest official version just now and the exact same steps work flawlessly. I'm thinking its just a lil bug somewhere.

Also my events have no end time, but even when I added one it didn't seem to make a difference, it just kept on repeating them.
