[»] Using the dialer function to open an email Mozilla window
by rmau - Mar 9th 2004 02:52:51

Judd,

Congratulations for your JPilot program. I use it as my date and address book, syncronizing with my Palm. Works just fine !! The Find window opens in a separate window, making it much easier to work with , in comparasion with the Window Palm Desktop.

I have recently moved from Windows to Linux, and am not a programmer, altough I have a reasonable Linux administration knowledge.

I have the idea of using the Dialer function to open an email window using as parameter the E-mail address stored in JPilot.
I changed the Dialer command in the Phone Dialer window to :
mozilla -remote "mailto(%n)" . This works fine if the Mozilla Mail is already working.

Clicking in the Dial Button the Mozilla Mail opens correctly, but there is a problem. In the address window dialog , if I enter an alphanumeric character as a "phone number" it is not transfered to the Phone Dialer window, Phone Number box - it works just with numbers.

I tried to look in your source code, but I am a very bad C programmmer. I presume that changing this "cheking" is a minor one, and could add a great functionality for JPilot.

[»] J-Pilot works fine for me
by Ramin - Jun 26th 2003 05:47:18

Thanks for this great software.
J-Pilot was bundeled with my RedHat 9 and works fine with my handheld.
I had some trouble getting the USB port to work and gpilotd caused some problems but finally it's working for me.
I am also able to sync my Palm device with Evolution Email through pilot-link.

[»] Copy/Cut/Paste is available in JPilot
by wpennington - Dec 22nd 2001 00:05:31

In my prior review, the limitation of cut/copy/paste is due to my own limitations. Cut/copy/paste buttons are absent, but if you use the traditional Ctrl-X (cut), Ctrl-C (copy) and Ctrl-V (paste), you can cut, copy and paste to and from JPilot

[»] J-Pilot easy to use
by wpennington - Nov 12th 2001 22:15:30

Synchronizing my Palm Pilot is a high priority in moving to Linux on the desktop. JPilot came packaged in Mandrake 8.0, and what is most shocking is the synchronizing speed. A few seconds, when using another OS, it took a few minutes.

A feature that is lacking is the ability to cut and paste. I often cut from emails and paste to my Palm program, but JPilot does not yet support cut/paste (at least on my system).

Regarding the sync speed: The most likely cause of the slow speed is that jpilot by default backs up all (or at least most) of the files on the PDA. The Palm desktop seems to sync only the data files unless you specifically request backup for files.

Having a full backup is handy when doing a restore.

Subsequent syncs will be quicker since only changed files are backed up.

[»] Wow!
by Terry Traub - Sep 23rd 2001 14:20:23

Great job, Judd. This is just what I was looking for; like others, I boot Windows specifically to sync my PDA (Handera in this case). I'm happy to have one less reason to boot stupid, unstable Windows ME.

I've been using this software for years and I still love it. Simple, powerful, effective. I have only one issue with it. On Solaris (don't know about other OS'es) 0.99.9 and below has a substantial memory leak. Over the course of a day, it'll balloon to hundreds of megs. Obviously restarting it fixes it, but I don't think that's intended behavior. -Crat http://lpmuds.net

[»] jpilot is great, request export/import feature
by Chris Uhlik - Sep 3rd 2001 15:21:55

jpilot is fabulous!! This is the final program I needed to
sever my Micro$oft relationship. I am now able to be
fully Linux and abandon dual boot since I can now do
everything better in the Linux environment. Thanks!

Feature request: I'd like to be able to export address
book records to an ASCII file where I could do things
like massage with PERL, then reimport. This feature is
prettly slick in the Windows desktop application except
that it doesn't work. Importing a file that I've exported
causes an error --- probably doesn't like something in
one of my notes fields or something. A true working
export/import feature would be very welcomed. I've
just downloaded the source, so I'll look into adding it
myself, but if anyone has a more developed starting
point, please let me know.

Chris
