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

AWESOME Nicolai !!!

Thank you SO much for this much needed basic search functionality.

Playing with it I notice it doesn't seem to search the "Job Title" field of the contacts which is not a major problem as such, but would be really nice to have in a future update.

Thank you for this wonderful, powerful, little application!

How often does this do the indexing? I experience a 4-5% CPU usage increase in hildon-desktop after installing this app. Not much but I'm a freak about the battery on this phone :D.

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

It works without additional Indexing. There must be a other reason for your higher cpu usage. :)

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

You're right. Sometimes the CPU % just spikes up and won't go down until a reboot. Bleh.

Use power search to find widget/applet problems releated to hildon-. Probably you have installed some 3rd party folder management applet which triggers hildon-desktop bug.

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

I can't search for contacts using their first name. Anyone has the same problem?

Hi,

new Version 0.0.9
Fixed bug with name search in contacts (see above).
Fixed bug with address search (for some vcards address
search didn't work)
Fixed bug in alarm time picker for tasks.( minutes for alarm times
can only be in 5 minute steps. Prior version allowed to select
arbitary times (like 10:33) but these alarms were ignored.

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

the [STOP] button doesn't seem to be working for me. I hit search, and if I find what/who I'm looking for I need to put scout in the background to finish.

Pressing [STOP] does nothing. If I press it often enough, I get the "scout not responding. Delete Y/N" dialog.

Hi RWFarley,

on which search options does this happens?
Or can you make some tests and search only one category
(contancts, calendar, conversations) and tell on which
category the stop button does not work.
Thank you
Nicolai

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

I had all three services checked.

Test with all other Apps closed:
Contacts and Conversations seem OK, but they also finish quickly.

Calendar is the problem. I DO have a large calendar (~5000 entries from Outlook) but that's what the [STOP] button is for, right? :-)

It does seem to have stopped adding to the results list. The "circle" is still "spinning" and the [STOP] button is blue....
