[Evolution] preventing ctrl-backspace from putting text into the clipboard
I'm running Ubuntu Hardy with Evolution 2.22.3.1 I use ctrl-backspace to delete a word preceding my cursor all the time when composing messages in gnome. However, I've noticed that the behavior of this shortcut also cuts that text and puts it in the clipboard. Applications such as openoffice or gedit, however, merely delete the word and leave the clipboard untouched. I've used tools such as glipper or parcellite to record clipboard history, but it's still annoying to track back through it to find the string I want that I literally cut using ctrl-x. I'm not trying to tell you that ctrl-backspace shouldn't put text in the clipboard - I have no idea what people like. But I would like to remove this functionality for myself because I find it very annoying. I searched the mailing list and found that others have suggested looking at ~/.gnome2/accels/evolution or /usr/share/evolution/2.22/ui/evolution-mail-message.xml Does anyone know exactly how I would disable the cut functionality of the ctrl-backspace shortcut in Evolution running under Ubuntu 8.04? thank you very much, Matt ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Yes, I am moving from 32bit to 64bit. My original computer was 32 bit, as was the interim computer I transfered evolution successfully to last week. But my new computer, where I am getting this problem with evo not opening, is 64bit.

The only way you can migrate is remove or move .summary and/or .ev-summary files from your .evolution/mail/. This would let Evolution do auto-migration, instead of migrating from the summary files. If you have IMAP or other remote accounts, it downloads summary from the server. export FILTER_RECENT=1 if you have filters to archive mails from remote, servers, as it might download old mails and you don't want to re-archive them. -Srini ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

But if the procedure works on other computers, then why would we think there is a bug involved? i.e. if it were something systemic, then wouldn't we expect many people to be affected?

Yes, maybe this comes from the webmail setup or another Mail.app. After removing
folders.db then all directories were recreated again. All is fine,
thank you. I even saved some 70MB of disk space, how come??

Because the error message is from deep in a library routine and mentions trying to allocate an absurd amount of memory. It *is* a bug. The trigger for the bug may be in an external file, but it's still a bug for Evo to collapse in this way. Apps are supposed to check their inputs and behave sensibly, even if it's just to give the user a meaningful error message. > i.e. if it were something systemic, then wouldn't we expect many > people to be affected?

Something about incompatible file formats between older and newer versions of Evo when the machine architecture also changes. In other words, a bug. poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] migration strategies - Help!
I presently run Fedora Core2 and Evo 1.4.6. Yeah, I know :-) I am about to sketch out a strategy for upgrading to (32-bit) Ubuntu 8.10, which includes Evo 2.24.3, although what with the rather aggressive nature of the synaptic package manager, I will doubtless be involuntarily upgraded to a slightly later version within hours of installing. I have cruised out through the Web and read any number of FAQs and docs. It has given me the impression that Evo doesn't expect anyone to upgrade Evo versions, because every migration discussion I've seen refers to importing address books, folders, folder rules, and existing messages, from just about any other package out there *except* Evo. In playing with the trial installation on another box, I've verified that Evo doesn't recognize importing of those elements from previous Evo versions. This seems just a trifle odd :-) Obviously I am missing something. I need to pursue this before I launch the upgrade, because I have a large investment of time in all of the mentioned elements, and have no desire to have to recreate them manually from scratch. I am confident that there is a way for me to preserve my Evo 1.4.6 Contacts, Folders & Filters, and the thousands of existing messages hanging around in those folders, and subsequently pass all of that data to my new Evo 2.24.3 (or whatever synaptic has it up to by then). But I cannot find documentation which demonstrates how to accomplish this. Can anyone point me to an appropriate resource?
