Promoted to testing, let's see if it pulls libgda3-sqlite with it (it should).

Just a few ideas for icons any comments?

I like the best in this size, but I wonder how it scales.

Edit: Also better short and long descriptions for the package would be good (but I'm no copywriter...)

0.5.2 packages preinitialized database.

This may be overkill and may not be easy or desireable to tie together with a humble ww calculator, but...

If you haven't heard, have a look at the "NUT" application, a command line tool for working with the USDA food nutrient database. http://nut.sourceforge.net/

Also if someone has better ideas for UI they're welcome (I'm a coder, not a designer...).

Because it might not be immediately obvious to everyone how the program is supposed to work here's a quick overview (if someone could make a proper tutorial with screenshots I'll post it on the project homepage):

Main screen

On left we have buttons for the important actions.

On right we have current points saldo and a calculator for quick calculation of points without having to bring up the log creation view. When we run out of space the calculcator will go to a dialog or something.

In Menu we have access to settings and to points/weight history.

Settings

Set the target points for a day, how many minus points (excercise!) per week are calculated towards saldo (you can and should log everything but there is a limit to "free" points you can use this way).

Set the day the week starts on (ie. on which day the weekly points counter resets)

Choose which algorithm/formula to use for points calculation.

Points and Weight log

These are ATM trivial implementations for viewing history, show datetime (in UTC thus the Z indicator) points/weight and first line of notes. Planned improvements: Local time, view full log entry, show weight log as graph (this will probably take a long time to do).

Log Points

On left free text field for notes, the first line is used in many places so make it descriptive.

On right the calculator (again) and a free text input for points, it's not mandatory to use the calculator. And a nice thumb sized save button.

In Menu checkbox to use as template and option to backdate the entry (due to problems with Hildon documentation it ATM does not limit the year range to anything sensible and also post-dating is possible but definitely not recommended).

Log Weight

Essentially same idea as with points but no need for calculator and no sense in using as template.

Log points from template

Clicking this will give a selector of log entries saved as templates, currently only the first line of notes is shown but points display is added as soon as I figure out a good way (GtkTreeView is not my friend), once selected you will be taking to the points log creation view with points and notes pre-populated from the template (the calculator base values are not saved [and saving them is going to be a bit tricky since the whole calculator changes based on formula that is used for points calculation])

It seems to do a whole lot more, very interesting. Didn't test but based on the documentation I'd guess it uses some sort of curses like interface. Integrating nut to the calculator/points log is not doable in any sensible way and not even desirable.

However porting nut to Maemo might be a good idea (main question is if it chokes in case the terminal is not 80x25)

How big do you need it I have it in 256 pixels also.

I will work on some short and long descriptions. On the templates can you have an option to search templates and maybe for the pop up you have now could you do like favourite templates.

I was more thinking of how it scales down in case somewhere a 48x48 icon is shown, it has small details... On device the 64x64 works fine. if you have SVG I would like that, otherwise the 256 version will have to do (it's good to keep everything in the repo, this way losing something accidentally is much harder)

Basically the templates are meant to be the favourite list (I'll add a way to remove the template status from an entry later), making the template picker searchable should be possible but it's a really complex widget to work with (I just don't really understand GtkTreeView).

Thanks, this is really brilliant! I haven't installed this yet, but I will as soon as I have some time. I don't have extras-testing enabled yet, and would rather not enable it before I know whether this program will actually be usable for me. Does the program calculate points using the American or the European algorithm? And does it use metric or US standard units?
