Description: K-Letter-Wizard makes writing letters easy. Just enter address and subject and with some help from latex, you get a very good looking letter. Only english, german and dutch output at the moment.

Hi,
I just received two bugreports from invalid email-Adresses. So I can't answer. So if anybody wants to send bugreports:
1: I will answer again :-)
2: Please attach the output of kletterwizard run in a console
3: Please tell me which version and if source or package.
Thanks for helping improving Kletterwizard.

Under SuSE 9.1 it worked flawless for me. Since I updated to SuSE 10.0 I have the same problem. That's very sad, cause i wrote all my letters with this great app.
Anyone knows how to fix this ?
p.s.: If I leave kletterwizard running and type into konsole: latex /tmp/kde-xxxx/kletterwizardxxxx/tmp.tex, the correct tmp.dvi is being generated. So it must be a communication problem between kletterwizard and latex.
ok. i found it.
remove the whitespace before \\nonstopmode (line 231 in src/klwletter.cpp)
depending on your gcc version you may also need to remove the \ before } (same line and file)

It's time I add my comment, and I must ay, this little application is a joy to use. Easy, clear, and produces a great-looking letter.
There are a few formatting issues regarding American/Canadian letter standards that I've made known to the author, but they are not bugs, just a small wishlist.
Another request: Can we also have the ability to save letters in different formats (kWord, etc.)? Or at least, to save letters in whatever "Kletterwizard" format? I know it's Latex, but can this be done?
All in all, great program, and well worth the download.
i have tried kletterwizard 0.9.5 and encountered the following problems :
* kletterwizard crashes if kghostview is not installed
here is the error message : "FATAL: Could NOT find a Part for image/x-eps (Postscript Viewer). Is KGhostview installed ?"
* The tab order is not set up properly on the gui (try to switch from one lineedit to another with the tab key).
The newer Mandrakes (since 9.0) won't run this application because the file g-brief.cls is no longer a part of tetex-Latex. The last version MDK has with this file was 1.0.7 and current is 2.0.2. Any idea what replaced this file and how to make the product use the newer cls file?
The error is as follows

So when you attempt to either use the preview or save/print the file there is no .ps file to save/view/print.
Thanks

…you do realize that “kletterwizard” means “climbing wizard” when translated from german? (“klettern” means “to climb”)
Is there a chance to get a KDE 4 port of this great application? It's the only one i'm really missing in KDE 4.
As a french person, I can translate to this language. Just gimme files for this and how to use them, and I'll be happy to help you

Hello, same problem for me. Can you tell wich libraries must be installed to use the program? Or ist it a problem with access rights?

Hello, thank you very much, it works !!!!!! Best regards, Norbert
How do you change the font in kLetterwizard (of the letter you are typing)?

The usual Problem with the designer version: Edit src/klwPersonalSettingsFormBase.ui and change version="3.3" to version="3.2.1". Will fix the tarball
Nice work. Compiles and runs great in KDE 3.4 beta 2

You can save it as *.letter. This can be opened by kletterwizard. It can be saved as PDF which can be opened by KWord, right ?
Saving is possible already. Its XML. I would like to be able to export to odf. But I need help for that. Any volunteers ?
can someone provide some static binaries, please?
i have tried kletterwizard 0.9.5 and encountered the following problems : * kletterwizard crashes if kghostview is not installed here is the error message : "FATAL: Could NOT find a Part for image/x-eps (Postscript Viewer).

It says in the README that you will need kghostview. I will care about the tabs
.. but it should not crash

Forget this comment, i've found the problem with playing with mime type associations.

g-brief wasn't GPL for some time. But it is lppl now. Maybe it will be in MDK soon. If not, just download it here: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/g-brief/
