maemo.org - Talk - [Announce] scout - search contacts, conversations and calendars

How about tabs for each of the categories? Enter the word in the general screen to search for and then hit a tab which opens that particular screen and starts the query for that particular category and shows the results for that category. 1 tab should be "query all", like you present the info right now. In all screens the word searched for should be visible and editable.

You can then "tab" through the results and minimise the amount of scrolling.

Re: [Announce] scout - search contacts, conversations and calendars

Thank you so much for this app. As an ex palm user wiith a calendar back to the 90's i can at last search again.

I prefer the settings as they are or maybe down the side.

Is the search quicker by just searching say calendar, rather than all options or does the setting selection just control the results display? Its not bad took just under a minute to bring up around 50 entries from 1994-2009.

Can you make the keyboard arrow up/down keys work for scrolling the results list?

Keep up the good work!

Hmm... what about to view this buttons only after the search to simply quickfilter the result list and not before the search has began? :rolleyes:

Second the idea, this seems more streamlined to use then the other way around.

Would this not unnecessary increase the query time? That was at least my idea when proposing hitting a tab to start the query for one of the categories.

Hi,

I need one additional vote in extras-testing. The current
version in extras-testing is the same as in extras-devel.
Please (test and) vote if you think this application is ready for extras.

thanks
nicolai

edit: That was fast :-)
Now promoted to extras.
