Oops, thanks for pointing it out. I've got it fixed locally.

I like the concept, but wouldn't it be more ergonomic with a vertical layout ?

It took me a little time to get used to the pie menu concept. I like some things about ejpi, but my biggest dislikes is that it sometimes takes longer than I would like to just press the buttons due to the tap-and-hold model. Particularly needing to tap and hold for - + * / functionality.

My controversial suggestion: keep the pie menu, but move from tap-and-hold to just tap. That means that, for example, the 5 button can't be dual-function (tap for 5, tap-and-hold for - + * /) -- you would have to move - + * / to its own button. There might be other buttons you'd need to re-arrange. However, I think the end result would be that you could make more use of the pie menus & save some screen space. I also think eliminating tap-and-hold would make the program more intuitive, but I realize that can be subjective.

Thanks for your cool and useful program!

In theory the hold is just for the menu to popup and you can just tap or drag to get all the functionality.

Unfortunately on Maemo this hasn't worked out so well as (its kind of flakey) compared to the desktop and has been a great annoyance to me.

Yeah, I just don't like the one second delay to wait for the pop-up to happen. Call me spoiled.

Neither do I. I wrote it on the desktop and got it running smooth and when I deployed it, I was very disappointed.

ejpi might be what I use to learn QT and I hope to have a better experience with these types of things.
