Announcing a new application: SplitTheTab
 

In the past, I've been using a spreadsheet on a Palm Pilot and, recently, on my N810 to track expenses for me and my friends when going on vacation together.

SplitTheTab is a specialized, more tablet friendly application to do the same.

It's written from scratch in PyMaemo, and I just uploaded an alpha release to the Garage.

You can find more details on the Garage page, or directly download the .deb package .

Feedback and questions are welcome, please use the tracker
for actual bugs or feature requests.

Below is a screenshot of the (to-be-improved) transaction editor.

looks great and may be a little UI enhance?

quick guess, os2007 (maybe it should be called maemo3 these days?)...

Re: Announcing a new application: SplitTheTab
 

The "OS" would be the environment included with the Diablo SDK. ;)

Re: Announcing a new application: SplitTheTab
 

That's correct - I'm using the Diablo SDK and created the screenshot in DIABLO_X86 mode on my Linux box. On the tablet, it looks like you'd expect.

great app idea for a portable device!

Re: Announcing a new application: SplitTheTab
 

1st app installed in almost 4 months! Installation is a breez, no hic hup! Nice app to the tablet, I specially like the report feature, just like a bikini, simple and to the points :) . Thanks, Henningspruth.

Feature request: can the clock and time be optional, as reimbersement rarely related to time. the calender is awesome.

Hm ... the time is used to put the entries in chronological order. Maybe the window can be uncluttered by using a separate dialog to modify the date and time (which is not often required if entries are made in real time).

Your kudos for the calendar go to Nokia - this is a standard Hildon component.

Version 0.2 of SplitTheTab is now available in the diablo extras-devel repository.

This is my first "proper" tablet application, and I must say that I am impressed with the scope and quality of the development infrastructure (scratchbox, garage, autobuilder, ...)!

Re: Announcing a new application: SplitTheTab
 

Version 1.0 of SplitTheTab was released today and is available from the extras repository.

Major new features include:

• A built-in calculator with support for tip percentages
• Report generation features
• Export of the transaction list to an OpenOffice spreadsheet
• Many minor usability enhancements

It can be downloaded using the Application Manager, or from its Maemo Downloads page.

More information is at http://splitthetab.garage.maemo.org.

This is the only app I miss in my N9. Perfect when travelling two or more families together.

Does anyone know of a good replacement?

Thanks.

Re: Announcing a new application: SplitTheTab
 

I'm the original author of SplitTheTab, but I'm afraid I can't be of much help. Development has focused on porting it to Android, see https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...thetab.android.

Re: Announcing a new application: SplitTheTab
 

Thanks for answering my call.

Is there any way to run it in Meego? I guess it would not be very difficult to port it, but of course I lack the needed skills.

Re: Announcing a new application: SplitTheTab
 

I've never owned a Meego device, and don't know how easy it is to port apps from Maemo. It probably is fairly straightforward - SplitTheTab is entirely written in python with the usual Gtk bindings.

Quick reply...
Apkenv is a compatibility layer for applications packaged as ".apk", runs on Harmattan (N9).
Best wishes.

Re: Announcing a new application: SplitTheTab
 

No, it is not the same. That is just for sharing a ticket at a restaurant.

SplitTheTab is far more complex and useful.

Re: Announcing a new application: SplitTheTab
 

Too technical for me. Thanks anyway.
