Right-click on the launcher and select "Properties".  You'll see an
editable field labeled "Command".

I don't know of an automated way of doing that.  Syncing the local cache
for offline usage can sometimes take awhile, so I don't think we want to
trigger that when you tell Evolution to close or else it may appear that
the application is hung.  Best to just click the connector icon in the
lower left corner when you're done and close the application when the
syncing is complete.

Hi Matthews,

Thanks for your valuable inputs.

According to ur suggestion How do i modify the "command" property of
Evolution panel launcher to "evolution --offline" ? I dont have a clear
undersatnding in thiscan you elaborate?

Is there any thing in the code that can be modified so that a set the
application to offline always before i close the application ,
irrespective of what was the user state before closing ?? This would really
help...I actually need to set the state to offline before closing.

Awaiting your reply.

Thanks & Regards
sv.

Awaiting your reply;

It's stored in GConf under /apps/evolution/shell/start_offline.  It
retains the offline state from when you last closed Evolution.  But I
believe the --offline option was broken for awhile.  It's since been
fixed, but you may be using a version with it still broken (I don't know
what version the breakage was introduced).

Assuming that's not the case, if you want to force Evolution to always
start in offline mode, I suggest modifying the "command" property of
your Evolution panel launcher to "evolution --offline".

Hope this helps,

[Evolution-hackers] Running Evolution offline.....

2008-05-21 Thread svalbard colaco
Hi all;

If i run ./evolution --offline ; i needed to Know what is the Macro or a
variable that gets set to keep this offline state, when i run it...and in
which file it gets stored??
As per my undersatnding evolution is by default  run as online.so when i
set the offline option and close the application , it retains ofline
status.. next time i run it;.
for this it might be reading or getting the current status from some
wherewant to know from where it got the status???

I actaully want to start my application as offline by default,...?? what
changes in the code will that require??

Any knowledge in this regard will be of great help.


Thanks & Regards
sv.
