Re: [Evolution] Why I must stop using Evolution

[Harald Beck <harald beck gmx at>]

Hi Philippe,

thanks for the reply.

It's interesting that the crashing on editing recurring events only
occurs in my case (at least not in everone's). Concerning Adam's
suggestion: Well, switching the operating system (which I've been really
happy with for a couple of years) only to get (possibly) a better
performance of Evo can't be the solution, right? ;-)

(I also don't see why the operating system should have to do so much
with editing an appointment in Evo.)

I want to report concerning the mysterious "loss" of data. I was
convinced that data was written in a bad way, such that it could not be
read again because I also tried Tasque which works on the Evo Data
Server as well. Here, also all entries were gone and that convinced me
that something was corrupt.

However, I restarted Evo a couple of times during the day (pseudo-naive
hope in indeterminism, I guess), and finally, everything could be seen
again, only the layers (Calendars, Tasks lists) were switched invisible.
How come? (I certainly did not uncheck them before closing Evo, and even
if I did, Tasque would have still displayed the items.)

Well, for the moment I'll continue working with Evo and report the bugs
in bugzilla if time allows.

(I didn't check for the hibernate problem so far.)

So I step back from my claim that Evolution has to be much more mature
and claim that Evolution has to be a little more mature running under
ubuntu ;-)

Thanks so far,
Harald

PS: @Adam: well, maybe ubuntu needs to become a little more mature such
that Evo doesn't crash any more -- I don't care ;-)
