Memo component for Evolution

News

• Aug. 11, 2005

  I'm not updating the CVS repository anymore to Evolution's latest because it takes too long to sychronized Evolution's CVS repository with my own on Sourceforge. I will keep releasing patches against Evolution's CVS, though. This will happen every week or two until the code actually gets into the Evolution base code.

  In case anyone's wondering (I noticed files were actually downloaded!), I'll be updating the CVS repository to Evolution's latest soon as well as releasing new files.
  
  I just moved and started a new job, so I haven't had time to do anything with the current code. I'm currently trying to get the copyright assignment done with the Evolution team so my code can be accepted. So far, though, no luck (it's been a few weeks), but I'll keep trying (paper probably got lost in the mail or something like that).
  
  Also, if anyone wants to help, please let me know. I had a suggestion from Not Zed on the evolution-hackers mailing list to maybe eventually move the e-table to gtktreeview or e-tree (based on gtktreeview). I took a look at what the gtktreeview looks like, and I like it. While it'd be a lot of work, I think it's worth trying to switch over to it. All I need is a simple interface, and the e-table one is not that. It would also allow users to view the contents of a memo inline, similar to the way that Outlook shows summaries of e-mail messages (of course, that's a personal preference if you like that - I don't like it in e-mail messages, but might for Memos).

• Jun. 21, 2005

  • Uploaded 6/21/05 version of Evolution/EDS CVS from cvs.gnome.org.
  • Created a Gnome-Pilot conduit for Memos (todo-conduit as well - should be in CVS, not in patch)
  • Summary in table is generated from the memo content.
  • No "click-to-add" feature, and there never will be due to how the summary and memo content (i.e. iCal 'description') is generated.

  I won't be working on this for a while. I need to finish school, take a small break, and then I'll have time to work on the bugs. Right now, it crashes in a few places, especially creating a new view and using the "click here to edit" functionality.
