Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

The only difference was fixing the typo. I'm not too sure what the schema is either. Feel free to post what you've got for others who are concerned about loss of data.

Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

Well, a simple "sqlite3 -csv <databasename> 'select * from items' > <exportfile> " would do the job, I guess. Of course, databasename and exportfile have to be replaced with current values.

This is just a shoot in the dark as I didn't check the order of the values in the exported file. This command exports the data ion the same order the columns in the db-schema are defined, beginning with uid, listname, category,.... In case the order has to be rearranged the statement must be adapted, that would also be no problem.

Three enhancement/feature request for my favorite to-do app:

1) Instead of typing in a date being able to pick it from a calendar (a la Seqretary),

2) Having multi-tiered tasks, and

3) A new icon :)

Thanks for all the great apps you develop and support.

Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

Hello there,

I had a quick questions about Multilist. I've been using MaraTick for a long time on my BBerry, but now I upgraded to the n900 and Multilist looks like it will be a great replacement, since MaraTick is BBerry only. I have hundreds of items in MaraTick and I've exported them and created a .csv file. I can't figure out how to import it into Multilist! I see the import button, of course, but I can't get the file selector to see my export file. Is there some special extension or location that will get this to work?

Thanks in advance.

The problem with CSVs is that they are very generic but don't have a good way of specifying what schema they are. Multilist is designed to be able to import CSVs it has exported but that is it.

It should show csv files in the browser. I'm assuming instead that they problem is you can't find the right folder? I was lazy and am not using a user-friendly import/export dialog. I just now filed myself a bug to fix this. A work around is to hit Ctrl+h in the import/export dialog, click the left side's "Nokia n900" and the "Documents" etc folders are actually ".documents" (the "." prefix means hidden, Ctrl+h shows hidden).

I'm leaving for Meego Conference soon but if you could give me the a description of the columns (usually the first line of the csv) I try to fix the dialogs and add support for that version of csvs.

Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

At the time I updated multilist for n900's there weren't so many list programs. I've not been too active on adding really cool features or making it nice, I've been too busy with other applications. I'm willing to try to add things as people need them but I recommend checking out some of the others (I know there are more I just can't remember their names).

I wish there was some kind of wiki database where programmers/users could enter in features/pros/cons of an application and link applications as similar so you could get side-by-side comparisons of them and make discovering related apps easier.

Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

Thanks for the reply!

I figured it out. It wasn't that the folder was hidden. I was expecting to see the files listed with the folders and simply select that. Once I realized that I had to type the filename into the text field labeled "Location" and use the folder navigation controls to simply select the folder, I got it to work.

Thanks again.

Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

Am I the only one who's multilist won't start anymore? When started in xterm it says:
EDIT: I could sweare, before upgrade to PR1.3 it worked.

Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

I've not upgraded yet to PR1.3. I just double checked and I don't seem to be using pickle anywhere.

Was there any kind of callstack associated with it so I can see where that error is coming from?

Re: [Announce] Multilist
 

Yes, I just didn't want to type it on my PC as I didn't post from N900 directly. Will append the complete output next time I'm online with N900.
