hi,

i am trying to use maepad on a daily basis as a diary app
but i am missing following features:

1) sorting notes: latest note entries like 10-06-25 should
be on the top, scrolling in long list is not funny;-)

2) global database search function.

3) password protection of databases.

First, thanks a lot for existence of an example application for starters.

Second, how do I compile it? I have downloaded all the files, and I have installed several dozens packages, but when I run ./autogen.sh, it says:

aclocal-1.7: not found (what is it?)
/usr/bin/autom4te: not found (what is it?)
autoheader: not found
automake-1.7: not found

I'm sure I have automake1.7 installed.

So, what should I do? I haven't modified the files yet, I'm just checking whether I can build MaemoPad at all.

Use "dd" to remove the item (and copy it into the clipboard) and then "p" to paste the item from the clipboard. As it uses the normal clipboard, you can also "p"aste stuff from websites and messages as checklist items.

See this video linked below. If you know how to use Vim, you will be familiar with most of the shortcuts already:

Edit: Oh, there is actually a list of keybindings: the README file.

Yes, please add this as a feature request to the MaePad Garage Feature Tracker.

Same here. It could be implemented easily, but I've not had the time to do so. Add it to the feature request list, so I don't forget to add it eventually (and so that other developers know what users want).

For now, you can encrypt your "memos.db" using GPG after finishing working, and decrypt before adding new entries. Maybe this can be automated and integrated in the UI. If MaePad is to gain password protected functionality, I want it to have strong encryption, because users will expect that from it. Or at least it should not be too easy to decrypt the file. You can add the "Add GUI integration for GPG-based file encryption" to the feature request list.

I hope you are taking about MaePad for Maemo 5, and not MaemoPad (the example app) or MaemoPad+ (for Maemo 4). If you are talking about MaePad, here's how you can compile it (all in Scratchbox):

You can find out more on the MaePad homepage.

Unfortunately, I do talk about MaemoPad example app for Maemo 5. I haven't realized at first, that it's thread about Maemopad+++, an advanced application.

Well... I compile on N900 directly, or sometimes in MADDE. In any case, it's not applicable, as I want to build not MaemoPad+++, but MaemoPad, directly from C source, with C compiler. Sorry for troubling you. Thanks for explanation. Have a good day.

P.S. To moderator: I will not object if you delete my two posts in this thread, as they seem to be quite off-topic.

If you really wish to, you can delete your own posts, but I don't think it's really necessary.

Oh, I love vim! Thank you once again! Now I'm much more productive using MaePad.

The only concern I have is that p is actually doing Gp. It would be nice to have it working as in vim - p puts buffer contents after the selected item, P (shift+p) - before it.

What do you think?

thp | # 159 | 2010-07-03, 15:57 | Report

Sounds like a good idea. Add it to https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/?at...91&func=browse if you have not yet done so

ototo | # 160 | 2010-07-03, 18:16 | Report

Done!

Update: I've added information about o/O shortcuts there as well for complete consistency.
