[maemo5] Qlister - Simple shopping list application

[mece]

Qlister 0.2-7 now supports russian, arabic, hebrew and other languages that didn't work before.

I made a simple shopping list app that you can use in portrait mode, mostly because I wanted one and because I wanted to test some Qt stuff. Either way it's up for grabs.

It is currently available in extras-devel So it is experimental software, and should be treated as such. It is currently in a "Works for me" kind of state.

It's written in python using pysidePyQt. It's mostly written on device using pygtkeditor and packaged with pypackager. So thanks for those Khertan.

The app itself is very simple. It's a list that you can edit and then view in portraít, and tick objects once you've put them in your cart when you're shopping. I'm not planning on implementing a great amount of features, but I'm always open to suggestions.

Known issues:
- Some ugly black areas when overscrolling the edit window
- Right to left languages are left aligned in the list

Here are a couple of screenshots:

This is a simple but useful application and is the kind of thing that the N900 needs!

Haven't try the new version yet.
But I have some ideas for this.
Is it possible to have some database? If we once enter item in our list that we don't have to enter that again but just select it from that database. And to make DB editable so we could edit wrong spelled items or remove some of them if we want to.
Second is to have quantity fields in the list.

Okay well the next obvious function/feature is being able to pay for your groceries with this app.

When's this coming, cap'n?

P.S. Thread tags still include "pyside".

Can I make a feature request? Add a dialog that allows you to choose your spouse from contacts. Then a button that would read your sms database and create a shopping list from the latest message(s) from that contact if the messages have enough commas for example. My wife often sends shopping lists via sms and I often miss an item or two.

heh actually my wife does that too. I simply copy paste the sms to the app and add some line feeds.

that's a pretty good idea, I'll think about it. I'm a little strapped for time, and probly wont be doing that much during my vacation, so it might be a while before I'll implement.

cjp I'm sorry but I don't really see this app used for paying for groceries. However I do believe that mobile payment is going to hit it big in the near future, so who knows
