Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

*sigh* lack of SSO is annoying. At least its one bugzilla for a bunch of projects. Its annoying creating accounts for every little OSS project's bugzilla.

I have a strong dislike for filing items for other people but I went ahead

You must be an angel! :)

Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

thanks, the new version now opens normally.
Another question. it is possible to import data from an xml or csv file?

Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

Simple but very effective! Thanks!!

I would note that I would prefer to keep the UI simple and XML would be fairly complex to query the user how they want to map free-form xml to a set of lists.

Import/export of csv could work well and I think would have value.

Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

yes, csv can be extracted from a file xls (Excel) or imported from a database.

I have a website php / mysql and would like to have data on the N900 for offline research...
was in this way with Smartlist2go in the Palm Centro.

Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

As soon as I finish porting nqa to Diablo (should be done in an hour or so) I'll add csv support. Who knows, maybe I'll event move to csv as the backing store, removing the misplaced use of a database and allow more flexible colums. One can dream at least.

Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

I just pushed 0.3.11 to extras-devel

• Saves the filter on restart
• Search finds text in the middle of titles, not just the beginning
• Import/Export (import appends rather than merges for now)

Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

Way cool news.

What's next for our Diablo knight in shining armour? Will you clean up the excellent but long deserted Yellow Notes app? I'd think it would be up your alley with it being an editor, etc... Nudge, nudge.... :)

Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

I'm actually playing with the new release from -devel. Latest one (0.3.11-2) works just fine, but I first installed 0.3.11-1 which refused to start. Obviously you just spotted out the problem and fixed it. Great!

Some more suggestions:

• search works excellent now. Next step could be implementing regex-support - but imho you can put that on the very bottom of the todo list
• more important could be a filter/search by one of the additional fields. Actually search only queries the title. Being able to query the note field too may be very comfortable. Also I don't see a possibility to filter items by priority, quantity or any of the given fields. Would that be possible?
• export creates a csv file with a uid in it. Could you explain how to create that uid, so one could create a similar file for importing data? And probably you could add the possibility to select which list to export. ATM all lists are exported into one file
• there is a field called 'date' but I just don't know what it's supposed to be. There is no date selector and I can enter any data I like to. What's the deeper meaning of this field?
• Would it be possible to have separate settings for the lists? I'd like to set up different lists where I'd need different fields enabled but these settings always apply to all lists.
• My biggest wish: could you in any way implement a possibility to create a daily entry? I need to track my allergic reactions and would like to have an entry for every day either with the date as title or using a working date field where the actual date is pre-filled. So I'd just need to tap on "add entry" and have a basic entry for that day and then just needed to fill in the strength of reaction. Multilist would be perfect for that, but entering a date is a pain on this device.

Thanks in advance and keep on that great work!
