Please add in Ubuntu to your statements as you chose to use a distribution that deliberately ships old versions and doesn't provide upstream bugfix updates to their users. +1 Just to get the facts straight who to blame for missing quality. Yep, I'm on openSUSE 12.3 GNOME 3.8.1 and *YES* I use Evolution all day every day. It is stable.

The Help - About - Contents shows an error message : Could not display help for Evolution. The specified location is not supported. I don't understand the not supported part. Knowing where the help files are located might give me a start. I've looked in /usr/share/evolution/3.6/help/. The only entry there is quickref/ and see I files for different languages. There is no en folder. There is a folder named with an upper case, underlined C which contains an English quick reference card. I can't find anything else. The gnome help system (yelp) looks for things in /usr/share/help The language you are looking for is the same as your locale settings and in locale terms, 'C' is the default if your locale doesn't exist. What it comes down to is that the 'C' locale is American English. So the Evolution help files should be in /usr/share/help/C/evolution and on F18, those files are provided by the evolution-help package. P. Don't know how I missed it, guess I was just stuck on the evolution folder. There are 219 files including a folder with images. Everything has root as owner with read write permissions, root as group with read permissions and everyone has read. They were apparently bundled with the evolution package as there is no evolution-help shown in the repository, and the files are obviously there. The error message I'm getting seems a little strange to me. It doesn't tell me there is no help available, it says the location isn't supported. Could it be that I'm missing a package from the gnome desktop? Does Evolution call the help files directly or does it call on a process of some sort to read and display the files? I'm curious about the naming of that folder, how on earth did it end up as 'C'? ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Could it be that I'm missing a package from the gnome desktop? Does Evolution call the help files directly or does it call on a process of some sort to read and display the files? It uses yelp - the Gnome help system. What happens if you run yelp help:evolution from a command line? I'm curious about the naming of that folder, how on earth did it end up as 'C'? It's historic. From the net somewhere... In the C programming language, the locale name C “specifies the minimal environment for C translation” (C99 §7.11.1.1; the principle has been the same since at least the 1980s). As most operating systems are written in C, especially the unix-inspired ones where locales are set through the LANG and LC_xxx environment variables, C ends up being the name of a “safe” locale everywhere. POSIX specifies that both C and POSIX must be valid locale names, with the same neutral settings. So 'C' is from the 'C' language. The C locale basically comes down to 7-bit ASCII.

Re: [Evolution] Settings not being retained
Yes, KDE has something like that. You can choose between Start an empty session and Restore previous session. There's another option but I can't remember what it is, right now.

This is obviously a new undocumented feature, as it didn't act this way in previous versions. I am hesitant to upgrade the version number as it is not available in the openSuse repositories and I don't want to create any problems. This is not the end of the world, but I'm wondering if it is possible to manually modify the file where current settings are stored, and put in the sizes I wish? Would it stick then? A similar issue was discussed on the list in the last few weeks. Check the list archives. poc Does KDE have something like Gnome's Preferences-Sessions-Save the Current Session button? If so, set the evolution window(s) the way you like and try clicking this and then logging out and in again. It worked for me (on an older version on Gnome).
