First of all let me say big thumbs up to this app. I'm an engineer and use it at least once a day.
However is it possible at all to add kinetic(?) scrolling like other lists? It would make navigation a lot quicker.
Cheers.

The two main things I'd like improved in the Gonvert UI:
- Be able to select "from" and "to" units, and then enter new values for conversion without having to go hunt for them again. Right now, for example, if I want to convert length/width/depth measurements from imperial to metric, I need to scroll to the "from" unit, enter the number, scroll to the "to" unit to see the result, scroll back to the "from" unit to enter the next number, etc.
- Be able to mark certain units as "favorites", and then have a "favorites-only" view mode. The very comprehensive list of units is a nice feature of Gonvert, but most of the time they just get in the way; it would be nice to have the option of seeing all the obscure units only when actively looking for them.

The problem with the from field being unselected is an interaction with the kinetic scrolling. On Diablo there's a scrollbar, so you can scroll the display without tapping on any rows of the table. On Fremantle, you have to swipe the table itself to scroll it, and in Gonvert the initial touch of that swipe is counting as a selection of that unit's row. The result is that I haven't been able to scroll to the "to" unit without selecting several other units in the process. Is there some workaround for this that I'm missing? I know it's possible to swipe the table in Qt applications without selecting the tapped row (I do that in PortaBase), I think there should be a way to do it in GTK+ also.

If you're going to put the time and effort into porting this, and adding new features as well, then perhaps you might consider entering into the ongoing coding competition.
However is it possible at all to add kinetic(?) scrolling like other lists? It would make navigation a lot quicker.
