Stuff is a tool to manage items. Your items are organized in databases and categories.

You can add default fields for categories so all new created items will have these fields. But you can also add custom fields to every item.

Using combobox as field type, you can enter a comma separated list of entries for this combobox.

Keys:
Fullscreen: toggles fullscreen
Menu: toggles listview/thumbview

When browsing items in listview only default fields from each category will appear. Maybe I'll change this

Don't forget to save all changes you make!!
I'll add an autosave option soon

EDIT:

Current version:
http://kup.vdst-aachen.de/maemo/stuff_current_all.deb

HOWTO:

1. add a new database
2. enter your new database
3. add a new category
4. enter your new category
5. add some default fields
all new items will have this field
6. add new items
7. clicking on an item will open a new window.
you can edit values here or add/remove custom fields


Please, try my app and post comments and bug reports

bongo

looks neat, I'll try it when I can

Neat program. One question, how do you edit the name of a database, category, or item?

Sorry, in this version you can't edit names, but I'll change this soon!

Does this use a "standard" db format so that the stuff in Stuff can accessed from other / desktop apps?

No, it is a simple binary format. But I want to change this to something else, maybe sqlite. There will be even some kind of import and export so you can backup your things and transfer it somewhere else.
Please post your ideas on this!


btw.

I've uploaded a new version, now you can rename databases, categories and items

Yeah. Using a netpad to capture information is good, but I think there would always be a need to manage that data from a PC - without going through export/import hoops.

Stuff uses a database/category/field/data hierarchy, and this is a fairly standard hierarchy.

I am wishing that there could be a standard format behind applications such as this so that things like Keepass, Notecase, BasKet, Stuff etc could interoperate, and also that the format supported brick level synchronisation so that we could modify the same db on two devices and have it all work out. Like the way that ewallet does.

All these applications do different things - provide solutions to different types of problem - but the underlying data structures aren't massively different. If there was a standard, then we could separate the data from the presentation.

Dream on.

Update:

stuff 0.9.1
with some fixes
- Delete Category button was not working
- Items, categories and databases can be renamed now

http://kup.vdst-aachen.de/stuff_0.9.1-1_all.deb

Update

stuff 0.9.2

New settings dialog:
- enable autosave
- enable textless buttons (more space)
- set to start in fullscreen

You can toggle textless buttons with + and -

Get it here:

http://kup.vdst-aachen.de/stuff_0.9.2-1_all.deb

Next:
- error/warning handling
- better search dialog
- more settings
- some minor gui improvements

To be done until 1.0:
- export/import data
- new format to store data (maybe sqlite or xml)

After 1.0:
- some sort of client/server solution with syncing

If there's no common database, you could always just port the application over to a full Linux desktop or Windows/Mac? That way there would be some inter-operatibility. That's what I do with Notecase.
