New Xfce beta focuses on usability

10-23-2008 11:00 AM
Xfce version 4.6 is shaping up to be more significant than most minor releases. Besides fixes and enhancements that are invisible to the casual user, the first revision in almost two years of GNU/Linux's third most popular desktop includes numerous changes to applications such as the calendar, mixer, and logout dialog, a new configuration engine, and usability changes to the desktop. Their combined effect is to increase the usability of Xfce without sacrificing any of the speed for which the desktop is well-known.

ORAGE(1)																  ORAGE(1)

NAME
orage - Calendar for the Xfce Desktop Environment SYNOPSIS
orage [options] [[FILE]...] DESCRIPTION
orage is a fast and easy to use graphical calendar for the Xfce Desktop Environment. It uses portable ical format and includes common calendar features like repeating appointments and multiple alarming possibilities. orage does not have group calendar features, but can only be used for single user. orage takes a list of FILEs for ical files that should be imported. Contents of those files are read and converted into orage, but those files are left untouched. For a more detailed explanation of orage, please see the Help menu. OPTIONS
-v, --version Print version information and exit. -?, --help Print brief help and exit. -p, ----preferences Open the preferences setting window. -t, --toggle Hide orage if it is visible and show it if it is hidden. -a, ----add-foreign file [RW] Add a foreign file into orage. By default this file is read-only but adding RW after the filename makes it writeable. -r, ----remove-foreign file Remove foreign file from orage. The file itself is not removed or modified. If you want to remove it, you need to do that separately using proper operating system command. FILES
All orage datafiles are by default in ~/.local/share/orage and all configuration files are in ~/.config/orage. (Note that you can change these locations, so if you do not find them, check from the UI.) BUGS
Please report any bugs and enhancement requests to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/. Usage related questions can be sent to xfce@xfce.org email list. HOMEPAGE
