Sorry, I was just talking about gnumeric in general, it's a Gnome desktop app that can run on maemo, but it runs on regular desktop Linux and WIndows and OS X. We only have a modified version of 1.8.3 to run on maemo.

The 1.9 branch is a development branch, so it might have other issues. To get it you would have to compile it for maemo, no easy task.

Gnumeric is one of those apps that I don't use regularly on Maemo, but when I do it's invaluable (whether it's doing cashflows, tax calculations, graphing some data etc.)

I hope we'll see a Fremantle version.

Maybe the easy-debian version of Gnumeric would adress your problem... it can display a sheet selector and allow you to switch sheets easily.

I had that installed, was just too slow for me unfortunatly, not to discount all the hard work the developers done on it.

I was very annoyed by having to muck around in the menus each time I wanted to change sheets, and was about to convert all of my spreadsheets to text files, when I happened upon this file:
Code:
/usr/share/gnumeric/1.8.4/HILDON_Gnumeric-gtk.xml
In this file there are sections to change the layout of the menus and the toolbars. Scroll down to the <toolbar name="StandardToolbar"> bit and add the following line below it:
Code:
<toolitem action="SheetReorder"/>
Hey presto! Now I have a button at the beginning of the toolbar which takes me directly to the Manage Sheets dialog.

Awesome! Thanks alot! Any idea how I might change it so that I can set a small icon to display rather than the big button?

If you look through the menus you will see that some of the items have icons and some don't. I'm guessing that the Manage Sheets function simply doesn't have an icon. Let me know if you figure it out!

By the way, I also added the following:
Code:
<toolitem action="ViewFullScreen"/>
<separator name="std-sep1"/>
So now I have quick buttons for sheets and full screen, and a nice little separator to block them off from the rest of the buttons. I don't know if it was necessary, but I went down the rest of the toolbar items and bumped up the rest of the separator names to std-sep2, std-sep3, etc.
