2010-10-02 - Meganizer with KDE binding at Ubuntu repository
Our Ubuntu repository now contains a KDE version of Meganizer named meganizer-kde. The KDE version uses KWallet to store passwords and the file dialog of KDE to select files and directories.
Hello!
Currently we do not provide arch linux packages. Therefore you must compile it yourself. But it should be quite easy.
As dependencies you need:
- qt4
- Qt4 mysql plugin
- optional KDE library (if you want to use KWallet for example)
- LibEngsas (you must compile it yourself too, s. http://sourceforge.net/projects/libengsas/)
- optional Qca with qca-ossl plugin (if you want to use amazon)
For building Meganizer than, follow the documentation at http://doc.engsas.de/meganizer/en/sec-Packages.html#sec:BuildFromSource

Good Morning,
Meganizer stores the "choosen" default language in ~/.config/EngSaS/Meganizer.conf. May be it is in there from your last run. The option is named defaultLang. Just delete this line or the whole file.
I've tested it on Fedora 13 (with RPM Package, but it is build from latest source) and
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
where the fist two characters are used to determine the choosen language, if defaultLang is not set at the config file.
I hope this will help and I'm glad to here whether it was the solution or not!
Nice sunday,
Joachim Langenbach
It sure looks nice and you're description is also very nice :)
But maybe you can also put in the description the reasons why Meganizer is better than other similiar apps, like for example the most popular in this kind (for KDE), Tellico (www.tellico-project.org)?
Good Morning,
thank you for this hint. The differences are already mentioned in the text, but they seems to be not clearly outlined enough. So we try to write a new text and point out the advantages more clearly.
Kind regards,
Joachim Langenbach

I don't know if it is a bug. But on my Slackware 13.1 Meganizer start by default in German. It's possible to enable the English language.
Good afternoon, thanks! Yes it was a bug. It should be fixed now in branch 0.3.0-rc2 and will go into the packages this week. Joachim Langenbach
Same problem with the lastest source.
