Since then I found a workaround for korganizer: you can do "open" in the file menu to open a local .ics file, or start with "korganizer <file>" on the command line. That seems to completely bypass the non-working akonadi stuff. Not ideal, but works for now. kaddressbook is not working for me anymore - can't save new entries - but I have not tried very hard either. > This, along with your observation[2] that kdepim44 is no longer > maintained makes me think we'd be better off moving forward with the > new kdepim now. I'm inclined to agree, but I also value stability a lot. I am heavily depending on korganizer at work. > [1] http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2012-March/012603.html > [2] http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2012-February/012587.html Bengt _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list kde-freebsd@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information
