[Evolution] I can't use British English
Greetings I just found out that with Evolution and aspell-en on fedora-18 (my box at least) I cannot perform spell checks in British English. Aspell-en provides British, Canadian and United States English. I only see "United States" English on the Spell Checker list despite the presence of aspell-en. I have tried the re-installation of the dictionary, and change of system-wide regional language ... the situation persists Can someone advise on how to go around this anomaly?

Re: [Evolution] LDIF and CSV import anomaly
Someone on this list advised me to try: evolution --import *.vcf I can't seem to locate that conversation but I'd like to say a huge *'THANKS'*. It worked. One more observation though: I find that the phone numbers are duplicated into another field titled 'other'. So I end up with the contact having the same phone number on two fields (other and Work). *Here is a sample VCF card:* BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Fakelast;Fakefirst FN:Fakefirst Fakelast TITLE:Musician TEL;WORK;VOICE:02012473049 EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:fakeper...@yahoo.com REV:20110403T050042Z END:VCARD There is only one phone number in the TEL;WORK;VOICE field. Why is Evolution Showing that number as a WORK number as well as an OTHER number? ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Evolution Drops the first and Last names and uses 'Screen Name'. Where did you get 3.0.0? ... can't find that in Fedora Repos. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

[Evolution] LDIF and CSV import anomaly
Why is Evolution finding it hard to import my .ldif or .csv files in one piece? I had the fields for those files sorted out in Thunderbird and Evolution still drops the name fields. I only get a decent import from .vcf files. Maybe the team should consider a chain VCF importer (one that can import a series of VCF files in one process) regards Onyeibo ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] Handling Aliases, Silent Mode, & "Combo Tasks"
Greetings
I'm not sure if this should fall into the hacking section or general
section ... so pardon me if this is the wrong audience. I have bumped
into some areas in Evolution that, I think, might either be buggy or
could use some improvement. It is possible that I'm doing something
wrong. I'd appreciate some corrections, and links in that case. Here
they are:
1. Once an account is set up it becomes difficult to implement an
"alias sending". Evolution doesn't allow its user change the sender's
field when composing ... except for accounts created locally. For
people involved in open-source projects like Evolution this makes it
hard to use evolution to send list related mails. Why? Some users
have email aliases tied to their email accounts ... and use the
aliases for such projects. Is there no way one could override the
sender's field so users can enter their email aliases instead?
2. It would be nice if evolution can start silently ... docked in the
panel and runs on the background. This will ensure that the user gets
notified when mails arrive. This also frees the task bar. This
functionality can be archived in conjunction with another application
called Alltray, but alltray has side effects. It introduces shaky
graphic performance (Compiz transitions are affected)
3. This is more of a feature request: Wouldn't it be nice if Evolution
can handle what I call "Layered Tasks" ... or "Stratified Tasks" ...
or maybe, "Combo Tasks". I've been thinking about this ever since I
started using Evolution. I see Combo Tasks (or whatever) as a Task
that has other tasks inside it -- like a project with small
objectives. As the smaller tasks get satisfied the Main Task counts
of progress (in percentage). One can modify the Combo task by adding
or removing mini tasks ("tasklets"). Is there something like this
already? This will help group related tasks together ... like in a
Project (but it doesn't have to be a "HUGE PROJECT"). It could be
handy for DIY domestics like "Build a Kitchen Cabinet" ... then you
can have sub-tasks like: Design the Cabinet, Discuss it with and,
possibly, involve the family, Establish Wood type, Buy parts, Cut the
pieces, Assemble it, Varnish and install it, Celebrate. The sub-tasks
are full tasks on their own with dates etc and can send
notifications/reminders, but they update the Combo Task (container)
with progress. It gets more interesting if Sub-tasks can also be Combo
tasks. I hope I'm not sounding crazy
Thanks for the anticipated response
Regards
Oku, O
