If I might interject at this point. :~) Whereas I completely agree it's a shame and that knoda is the stand-out database application I can find for Linux, I would think the problem is time and money.
I have absolutely no idea whatsoever how many people actually use it in anger like I do, but maybe if we really want to see it continue to evolve and grow we should think about paying someone to update it? If there are only a handful of people using it, that's probably not going to work. If there are a lot, then we should look at trying to see whether there's any way at all we could have someone work on it and we all donate an affordable fee. Open source is free as in freedom, not free as in beer and it's only fair to pay for a developer's time. knoda has a few things that are great, but several things that would mean it would impractical for a business of any sort of size with non techy people using it IMHO. That and any bug fixes would mean there was plenty of work for someone! moebius wrote: > Bonjour, > Unfortunately, I've found no solution except yours.... > It would be nice to find someone able to look at the code to update it ; > I don't understand why knoda, that is a very good frontend with features > that are nowhere else in linux world, is left without noone to maintain it. > > cordialement, > > > Robert Leleu a écrit : >> Did you, Moebius, found a way to have Knoda using another viewer? >> >> I used the Janitor of Jaunty.....and Kdeprint just disappeared, so, >> again, I can't see the reports >> >> Alas it seems that kprinter is "hard-coded" in hk-classes. >> In >> http://knoda.sourcearchive.com/documentation/0.8.3-2ubuntu1/hk__kdereportpartwidget_8cpp-source.html >> I found >> >> 00599 void hk_kdereportpartwidget::print_report(void) >> 00600 { >> 00601 hk_string buf=p_report->printcommand(); >> 00602 p_report->set_printcommand("kprinter -j none"); >> 00603 p_report->print_report(false); >> 00604 p_report->set_printcommand(buf); >> 00605 } >> >> and googling for kdeprint download, it just seems that KDE4 made kdeprint >> download availability disappear from the net...... >> >> >> >> >> >> Robert Leleu skribis (esperanto estas la unua internacia lingvo): >>> presumably, I do understand that...but am not able to handle it. >>> Perhaps I'll try to have a look this summer, I'm too busy at the time, >>> being candidate to european elections for Europe-Democracy-Esperanto. >>> >>> Korde >>> >>> moebius skribis (esperanto estas la unua internacia lingvo): >>>> Thank for the answer, I'm going to try this. >>>> Anyway, it must be possible to modify sources in order to tell knoda to >>>> use another viwer like gv or evince.... >>>> >>>> cordialement, >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> Robert Leleu a écrit : >>>>> remember my message of november (to which you responded!), which I attach. >>>>> >>>>> I'm alo whith Jaunty, and Kghostview was not deleted in the >>>>> installation, so Knoda goes on reporting >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> moebius skribis (esperanto estas la unua internacia lingvo): >>>>>> Bonjour, >>>>>> I've installed the recent ubuntu jaunty 9.04 (I had before a 8.04 >>>>>> ubuntu) and installed knoda witch is provided with it (I have verified >>>>>> before changing of distro !) >>>>>> >>>>>> When trying to make a report, I got twice the same alert box with the >>>>>> message I've put in subject and after a blank report.
