contacts info field

[mai9]

hi, I think the Info field is too small. Maybe it's because I enlarged the OS text size, but I can only read one single line of text, when in the cellphone I can read three!





Also, I don't know why but I can type more text on the cellphone that on your program

using v1.4.5

The note-field is limited to 50 chars (also on the phone)

[mai9]

I think that that number depends on the characters you write. I am able to put this text on the info field on the cellphone:

Home: Quito
Work: Of. Mare
Fax: Of. Pare
Othr: Suc

There are 53 characters counting the EOL, but 50 counting without it.

On you program I can't write the last characters "Suc"

something you didn't answer: could you make the info field taller?

[FJ]

I don't think its needed to make the field taller - if you enable the notes in the listview you can also see the whole note.

[mai9]

but I'd like to see more text when typing!

I don't understand that you suggest making a column 50 characters wide, it really isn't practical.

And in my opinion, the place to see all text is in the "Edit contact" window where you see all fields, whether you use them or not.


and what do you say about the 53 vs 50 characters?

[mai9]

and what do you say about the 53 vs 50 characters?

can I get an answer on this please?

[FJ]

Most phones have a limitation of 50 (and not 53) characters so i will leave this.

You want to see more when typing the info-field - i want to creat a clear Userinterface - over and out.

[mai9]

I discovered that those 53 characters are showed in your program on the column, but not on the edit window. To me that means, there's a bug on the edit window.

I find very frustrating your zero interest with what I am saying. Saying that most SE have 50 characters and mine is 53 is an insult to me. Please take your own program seriously and don't tell me that I have a mutant cellphone with three extra characters.

mai9, I checked this and I have exactly same situation.
But this is not FJ's fault (or his software). PC takes actually 2 characters to go to next line (enter button). Phone do it in other way, it does not use any characters for going to next line.
This all situation come from technical differences between PC and Phone.

That's what I think about this.

[FJ]

There are alot of other important bugs, so please don't missunderstand me. I cannot beleave why you are making so much troubles cause 3 chars in the not-field of contacts (by the way - i never use this field).

In care of the world-peace i will look waht i can do for the next version
Is that ok ?
