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

Dear nicoli,

The new version seems to crash for me.. i tried enabling on contact search and then it works. But when Conversation is in search criteria and I enter the search string and press search button. Scout app crashes.
Is there any old settings file I should remove

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

Hi leojab,

no, there aren't old settings, the prior version didn't saved
any settings.
During developing I had many crashes caused by badly character
handling for non-ascii characters.
This is mostly fixed, no crashes anymore. But there may still be
a bug, and that may happen only on some conversation texts.
Is there a chance, you can deduce from your conversations and search
query, which text could cause this?
regards
nicolai

Hi nicolia,
I have been trying various combination and can confirm that the crash issue happens only in the Conversation app search. I have tried various english texts but it crashes. I think any search into Conversation failed.
My conversation has arabic sms's as well. Is that an issue?

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

Good hint, yes that may be the problem.
Now I know what I have to look for.
Thank you.

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

Great update. Works now very fine. :)

I have a suggestion for this:
What about showing the single SMS in a seperate (stacked) window as before and place a Button "open this conversation" under the SMS message to open the whole conversation if the user wants to see it? :)

I don't like a option for this. I would prefer to have the choice after I see the search result. Sometimes I have to read the result before I know I would read the whole conversation.

Probably one of the most useful apps for N900 so far!
Thank you Nicolai.

One suggestion:
I would like to type a name and find the SMSs sent or received from that person. Is it possible?

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

I have the same problem, conversation crashes Scout when a search is done with the option selected. Used the same search word that previously worked with version 0.1

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

I would like to bring to your notice an issue:
1. Scout searches within Notes and displays results however clicking on it shows only the Calendar event instead of the actual note text

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

Nicolai, great work. As far as searching emails - that would probably be prohibitive without indexing. Tracker is capable of indexing emails, but that seems to be disabled (at compile time?) on the N900.

And of course, there's search over file contents, too (.doc, .pdf, etc.)
