Re: How to delete multiple SMS messages
 

May i know the reason why we can't modify or update the code to enable the message app in N9. I think it is simple to the developer to enable that functionality, Mail client is having that great thing.

Please reply me...

It isn't open source hence the issue...

Re: How to delete multiple SMS messages
 

Then there is no possibility ... is it? Is it possible to make a new app with the same feature... Can our community developers build an app ... Even it is a paid version... [ I am just asking]...

Re: How to delete multiple SMS messages
 

Of course it can be done. The question is, what would be the motivation to do it. If somebody sees it as worthwhile development project then it will be done, as fa as I know the interfaces are documented so there is no major roadblocks on the way.

As long as people are content to use the existing messaging application thee is no pressure to develop a new one :)

Re: How to delete multiple SMS messages
 

Thanks for your reply juiceme... I am totally missed up that feature . Still waiting waiting waiting nearly 1 year... But no update fixed it... I have only 2 problems with n9
1. Multi selection (Or Mark ) in message application. (In deleting messages)
2. Text editing application...

Totally disappointed with this. The Meego UI is fantastic. But what is the Use if it missed up the basic required operations and features.....

Re: How to delete multiple SMS messages
 

Ok, your actual problem with the messaging application is the SMS delete having no multiselect feature, you are happy with how it behaves otherways?

Well what comes to my mind as the quickest way to fix this would be a separate application to select and purge messages straight off the SMS database :)

The DB interface is known as the SMS backup/restote tweak uses it, and this way one would not need to worry about interfacing to the system message delivery path.

How does that sound?

Re: How to delete multiple SMS messages
 

juiceme,

I haven't investigated yet but have you tried /home/user/.cache/tracker/meta.db for the messages database location? I think it may just be the elusive database...

Re: How to delete multiple SMS messages
 

Yes You are correct. Messaging as conversation is good. I just want the multiselct and , delete only the unwanted messages...

If it is not possible atleast to remove the confirmation while long press and delete messages one by one...

Any way for your information i am not qt developer, Just trying to become qt developer. I am working in php. I hope with some c++ knowledge i can achieve it.(to become qt developer...) Like This team and support very much. Very happy to being here...

Thank you very much...

Re: How to delete multiple SMS messages
 

You must be correct, when I just cat the strings from that DB I get bits and pieces that look like my SMS's :)

That finally confirms what I have suspected, SMS'es are not really stored anywhere in "real space", just inside trackers DB. So, when as you remember I blew my tracker few weeks back I lost all my SMS'es (and would have lost em for good if I didn't have backup from the day before...)

Re: How to delete multiple SMS messages
 

Well, QT is quite nice environment to code in, there are not many difficult things and there are a lots of example code snippets in the QTCreator that one can look up. For anyone who knows C/C++ (and PHP :)) it should not be difficult to start developing on.

Creating an application that reads SMS list from the tracker DB, lets user select the deletable messages and purges them from the DB could easily be a kind of learning example with QT :D
