Re: [Announce] PortaBase - A portable database application

Re: [Announce] PortaBase - A portable database application

The extras-testing quarantine period for PortaBase 2.1 is over, but there are still only two votes in approval of promoting to extras. If you've been using it without trouble or can spare some time...

Re: Tizen?

Re: Is there an app to manage Credit Cards / Bank accounts?

I'm plugging my own application here, but I use PortaBase (http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/portabase/) for this. I have a financial transactions database that I originally created in...

Re: [Announce] PortaBase - A portable database application

Allowing boolean columns to be used in calculations turned out to be a one-line change, so I just checked that in; it'll be in the next release. Syncing is much more complicated, and I suspect...

Re: [Announce] PortaBase - A portable database application

First, the MobileDB import question I missed a while ago: PortaBase should correctly handle importing decimal fields, but I don't think any of my sample files have them (the import code was borrowed...

Re: [Announce] PortaBase - A portable database application

I was writing a post to explain the CSV import, then saw that you already figured it out. I realize this process is rather awkward, so one of my goals for 2.1 is to be able to define a new PortaBase...

Re: Spontaneous Program Termination of Qt Apps

The key point here is whether the app was launched from the command line or the application icon. When an app is launched from the command line, it's a standard process and acts pretty much as you'd...

Re: Spontaneous Program Termination of Qt Apps

Sounds like you need to implement support for D-Bus communication with the app; I suspect you have it configured to advertise itself as supporting D-Bus, but haven't yet added the code to actually do...

Re: [Announce] PortaBase - A portable database application

I actually spent a fair amount of time fiddling around with the row colors and looking through the Qt code that controls this. As far as I can tell, Qt 4.6.2 on Maemo 5 completely delegates...
