[maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

Qlister 0.2-7 now supports russian, arabic, hebrew and other languages that didn't work before.

I made a simple shopping list app that you can use in portrait mode, mostly because I wanted one and because I wanted to test some Qt stuff. Either way it's up for grabs.

It is currently available in extras-devel So it is experimental software, and should be treated as such. It is currently in a "Works for me" kind of state.

It's written in python using pysidePyQt. It's mostly written on device using pygtkeditor and packaged with pypackager. So thanks for those Khertan.

The app itself is very simple. It's a list that you can edit and then view in portraít, and tick objects once you've put them in your cart when you're shopping. I'm not planning on implementing a great amount of features, but I'm always open to suggestions.

Known issues:
- Some ugly black areas when overscrolling the edit window
- Right to left languages are left aligned in the list

Here are a couple of screenshots:

Version 0.2-3 fixed and is now in extras-testing. bugtracker is at http://bugs.maemo.org/buglist.cgi?product=qlister

EDIT: New version uses PyQt due to some issues with PySide.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

thnx man :) iam really like it iwill download it now and test it and back with feed back :cool:

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

This is a simple but useful application and is the kind of thing that the N900 needs!

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

Haven't try the new version yet.
But I have some ideas for this.
Is it possible to have some database? If we once enter item in our list that we don't have to enter that again but just select it from that database. And to make DB editable so we could edit wrong spelled items or remove some of them if we want to.
Second is to have quantity fields in the list.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

Okay well the next obvious function/feature is being able to pay for your groceries with this app.

When's this coming, cap'n?

P.S. Thread tags still include "pyside".

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

Can I make a feature request? Add a dialog that allows you to choose your spouse from contacts. Then a button that would read your sms database and create a shopping list from the latest message(s) from that contact if the messages have enough commas for example. My wife often sends shopping lists via sms and I often miss an item or two.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

heh actually my wife does that too. I simply copy paste the sms to the app and add some line feeds.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

that's a pretty good idea, I'll think about it. I'm a little strapped for time, and probly wont be doing that much during my vacation, so it might be a while before I'll implement.

I forgot to mention, you can vote for qlister to go to extras here:

cjp I'm sorry but I don't really see this app used for paying for groceries. However I do believe that mobile payment is going to hit it big in the near future, so who knows ;)

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

Nice little app, I'll be using it for my grocery run today. What do you think about adding a little more contrast to the list colors, instead of the light gray on beige? If you wanted to go all out, maybe even provide custom color settings, but that may take away from the simplicity. Thanks!

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

50lbs of beef, now thats metal
nice app

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

Yeah, I guess it could use a bit more contrast. I'll look over the colors on the next version. I guess simply making the text black would improve it.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

am I missing something? I can't seem to add more than one item to a list. I only have the option to edit a note and not create another.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

Each row in the text is one item, so just type something, press return and write something else. And yes there is only the one list :) keeping it simple...

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

like it. +1 vote for adding a "remote wife update" feature :)

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

ok thanks, once I understood that you just enter items on a different line I got it.

I love the simplicity of this app. It's not over engineered to the point of being unweildy and bothersome to use in a real life situation where you need to quickly add items and administer a list. Fab app.

Already promoted to my desktop :)

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

love it

i would love a data base so i dont have to enter them again and again

also a font color change or background

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

hmm how about a remote-wife-update-light, where you cut 'n' paste the sms and it automagically makes the list. like replace commas with newline or something? I really don't want to bother with conversations api.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

You can basically get it with sqlite with a simple sql query:

/home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db

Maybe add some logic to concat split messages.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

Hmm, for some odd reason this app doesent work for me. when i click on icon it loads but then returns to desktop. Ive rebooted n900 couple times but nothing happens.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

Exact same problem here :(

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

could you run /usr/bin/qlister.sh from xterm and paste the output here?

thanks, could you run it as user and not root, just to see if it's different.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

The app starts fine for me but pressing the Edit button doesn't do anything. Terminal output when pressing the Edit button is:

$ qlister.sh

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

thanks a bunch. could you do a
dpkg -l python2.5-qt4-core

and tell me what version you are running. I have 4.7.3-maemo5.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

Could you tell me what version of pyqt you're running?
type
dpkg -l python2.5-qt4-core
in xterm to find out. should start with 4.7

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

ok I found the problem.

I was unaware that pyqt 4.7.3-maemo5 had yet to reach extras. I managed to vote it in now so it should be there shortly.

either way those of you with the issues, can upgrade pyqt to 4.7.3 by doing the following:
With extras-testing enabled launch xterm and type
Qlister should work after that. no reinstallation needed.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

Thanks. That helped ;)

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

excellent. working now and i found this app very usefull.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

I would find the possibility to clear already checked items from the list very useful. When the list grows long it would make it easier to use.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

I tested that but it caused me to forget stuff due to accidental clicks. Could be an option for a future version though. Or doubleclick to hide or whatnot. I'll think about it.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

Just noticed. Longpressing key to make different character doesent work I mean when you longpress Q it should be 1. Works on sms etc. thanks to PR. 1.2.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

For those of you who are into experimental stuff, there's a new version (0.2-4) coming to extras-devel that autorotates by default. To turn off autorotate, simply click the rotate button. There is currently no way to turn autorotate back on, so you have to restart the application to do that.

Let me know if it works.

And feel free to vote for version 0.2-3 in the testing queue:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...qlister/0.2-3/

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

bollocks. An error in the control file made that one useless. Ok uploading 0.2-5 in a bit.

EDIT 0.2-5 is in the queue. Should be in extras-devel within 30 minutes. Is in extras devel, and it works on my device at least.

Re: [maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application
 

auto-rotate works fine

Shopper is available for testing - I'd appreciate help getting it to Stable :)

mece: the C++ code is at http://gitorious.org/lbt/shopper if you're interested.

I played with gestures too; although not the same as Qt Gestures - mine are per-widget.
