5 This python-script is a quick hack to convert an Eudora (v.3?) addressbook
6 to vCard (GnomeCard) format.
10 You may do whatever you want with it! (Also regarding copying)
12 However, the script is intended to use like this:
14 eud2gc.py <Eudora-addressbook-file> <Gnomecard-file>
16 Be careful not to overwrite your original GnomeCard.gcrd!
17 (But of course you might want to add the converted stuff to it)

28 This perl script provides easy conversion of your filtering rules
29 form sylpheed's old filter system to the new filtering system used
30 in sylpheed-claws. It reads '~/.sylpheed/filterrc' and outputs
31 '~/.sylpheed/matcherrc'.
35 Issue the following command from the 'tools' directory:
39 That's it, the new filtering system is now implemented with your
40 previous rules applied.

50 This perl script converts a monochrome (1 bit) 48x48 pixels GIF file
51 into an X-Face graphic suitable for inclusion into custom headers of
52 Sylpheed. An X-Face allows to quickly identify (or be identified as)
53 the sender of a mail message in a xface-capable MUA (like sylpheed).
57 After obtaining the desired image for your X-Face you should:
58 * scale it to 48x48 pixels (Image->Scale image on Gimp)
59 * down color depth to b/w (Image->Mode->Indexed selecting "Use
60 Black/White palette" and the desired dithering options (prior to
61 indexing doing Image->Colors->Threshold allows you to select the
62 b/w level if you don't want a dithered (dotty) image))
63 * save file as non-interlaced GIF
66 ./gif2xface < filename.gif > filename.xface
68 In filename.xface will be the X-Face header ready to use.
69 You can add a custom header in Sylpheed through Configuration->
70 Preferences per account, "Send" tab, check "Add user-defined header"
71 then "Edit..." if you want to add it via Sylpheed interface, or do
73 echo "0:" `cat filename.xface` > ~/.sylpheed/customheaderrc
75 if you want to create the custom headers file yourself (Warning: this
76 method is valid only if you don't have any other custom header set or

87 This perl script will convert an exported Kmail addressbook into a
92 (You must run sylpheed at least once before running this script.)
94 In Kmail's Addressbook choose '/File/Export List'. This will export
95 your Kmail addressbook data to a *.csv file.
97 If Sylpheed is running, close it.
99 From the command line, execute the following:
101 perl kmail2sylpheed.pl --kmailfile=/path/to/addressbook.csv
103 Your Kmail addressbook data will now be contained in Sylpheed's
104 addressbook, under the name 'Kmail Address Book'.

114 This python script converts the netscape ldif format address book to
115 the sylpheed xml format.
119 Inside Netscape export your address book to a file.
120 From the command line, execute:
122 ./ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>
124 In case of trouble, just invoke your python interpreter directly:
126 python ldif-to-xml.py <path/filename>
128 Either way a file called addressbook.xml will be generated in the current
129 directory. This xml file should be merged with or simply placed in the
130 $HOME/.sylpheed directory.

138 WHAT IT DOES AND WHY IT DOES IT
140 This perl script cleans up in '$HOME/.sylpheed/newscache'. Currently
141 the newscache becomes littered with old directories and files - when
142 you subscribe to a newsgroup a sub-directory gets created for it in
143 ~/.sylpheed/newscache/[nntpserver], should you unsubscribe from the
144 group the sub-directory does not get deleted. Until this is done
145 internally this script will take care of some tidying up.
147 This script removes directory trees of nntp servers that you no longer
148 have an account for. Where an account exists it removes directories
149 and files of those groups to which you are no longer subscribed.
153 Issue the following command from the 'tools' directory:
155 perl newscache_clean.pl
157 This script uses the File::Path module, if you don't already have it
158 installed, you can find it at the CPAN search site <http://search.cpan.org>

168 This perl script is for users who like to move between the main
169 sylpheed branch and the claws branch. Because of some differences
170 between the stored options it is better IMO to use two separate
171 '.sylpheed' directory trees. Doing that manually could prove to
172 be tiresome, and so I've written this script to automate the task.
174 The first time you run this script you enter the full paths,
175 including the executable itself, to both the main version of
176 sylpheed and the claws version. This information is then stored
177 in a file in your $HOME directory called '.sylpheed-switcher'
179 During this initial set-up, your '~/.sylpheed' directory
180 is copied to '~/.sylpheed-main' and '~/.sylpheed-claws'.
182 When you run sylpheed via this script, your '~/.sylpheed' directory
183 is deleted and replaced with a symbolic link to either ~/.sylpheed-main'
184 or '~/sylpheed-claws', depending on the option you choose.
185 (On subsequent usage the symbolic link is deleted and replaced with
186 a new symbolic link).
191 Enter the full paths to the executable, including the executable itself,
194 ./sylpheed-switcher --claws-path=/usr/local/bin/sylpheed --main-path=
197 After the initial set-up, use the following:
199 ./sylpheed-switcher --claws (to run sylpheed-claws)
200 ./sylpheed-switcher --main (to run sylpheed main)
202 Additionally you can append --debug to run in debug mode.
203 Use --help for more info.
205 This script uses the File::Path and Getopt::Long modules, if you don't already
206 have them installed, you can find them at the CPAN search site
207 <http://search.cpan.org>

217 This script is a message catalog translator's tool, it updates the .po
218 files named on the command line.
222 This script needs to be copied to and run from the 'po' directory.
224 ./update-po lang.po lang2.po ...
226 to update one or more <yourlang>.po files from the sourcecode files
227 named in POTFILES.in. The old .po file is save in a .po.old file.
229 For example, when you want to update fr.po, run ./update-po fr.po,
230 then edit fr.po to update your translation.
