6.4 Managing To-Do Items and Events
On the KDE desktop, to-dos (tasks) and events (appointments) are managed with KOr-
ganizer. Start the application from the main menu, with the command korganizer,
or as part of Kontact. After enabling the calendar and the to-do conduit of KPilot, set
some configuration options before using them.
Figure 6.2 KPilot Configuration
KOrganizer stores its files in the directory ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer.
However, given that the directory .kde begins with a dot, it may not be shown by the
file selection dialog. In this case, enter the complete path manually or explicitly toggle
the display of hidden files (dot files) in the file selection dialog. The default shortcut
for this is F8 .
After opening the directory ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer, select a file that
can be used as a calendar file by KOrganizer. In this example, this is the file palm
.ics. In the case of a user called tux, the complete path and filename would be
/home/tux/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/palm.ics, as shown in

ure 6.3, "Dialog Showing the Path to a KOrganizer Calendar File"
