Re: Gnumeric Question
 

Which repo is a newer version in...I checked extras devel and nothing there.

Re: Gnumeric Question
 

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.

Re: Gnumeric Question
 

Ahh, ok yeah I knew about the desktop version, I used to use it before open office.

Re: Gnumeric Question
 

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.

Re: Gnumeric Question
 

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

Re: Gnumeric Question
 

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

Re: Gnumeric Question
 

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:
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:
Hey presto! Now I have a button at the beginning of the toolbar which takes me directly to the Manage Sheets dialog.

Re: Gnumeric Question
 

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?

Re: Gnumeric Question
 

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:
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.

Nice .... Works like a charm!
