Clipboard sharing over bluetooth

Posted on 2010-03-24 13:01 UTC by Mardeg. Status: Waiting, Categories: Utilities.

1. User A: Copy text or image to clipboard from any app.
2. User A: Send clipboard over bluetooth to User B who gets a prompt to allow his clipboard to be overwritten with that of User A.
3. User B: Paste clipboard contents into any app.

The idea is to automate everything else to make this a very rapidfire way of sharing.

I just realised this is really just 2 steps for each user, so let's show it that way:

User A

- Step 1: Copy content

- Step 2: Run app to select receiver

User B

- Step 1: Confirm overwrite of clipboard

- Step 2: Paste content

Multiple selections and actions in list views

Posted on 2010-03-27 10:58 UTC by Jens Wiik. Status: Waiting, Categories: User Experience.

The List example in Qt Widget Gallery supports multiple selection, but the user needs to separately activate it from the menu.  This is not practical, and users need to know to look for it.

I think multiple selection should be available constantly, but having checkboxes next to each row would be ugly, so I propose a background-colored area instead.  See the attachment.

Furthermore, the multiple selection mechanism could be extended to offer quick access to secondary actions.  The current popup menu is uncomfortable.  When a "checkbox" is activated, a toolbar could replace the top row of the list view.  In my example, obvious buttons would be select all, select none, add to playlist, add to current playlist, delete.

The area outside the checkbox area would still function as it does now - single click to primary action.

Touch Zoom for Image viewer and camera

Posted on 2010-03-28 22:47 UTC by sopheak hean. Status: Waiting, Categories: Media.

Not sure if this have been posted but I'm going to go at it.
As you all know there is no virtual Zoom buttons on the screen for Photos and When recording or taking pictures.

Would have been very easy to use with on screen buttons instead of the Volume keys.
Also very handy when recording video, physical button zoom make noise and virtual button zoom doesn't.

Alarm based on destination time not home time.

Posted on 2010-03-30 08:21 UTC by K B. Status: Waiting, Categories: Utilities, User Experience, System.

I travel quite a bit between time zones.

I want to be able to set an alarm based on my destination time, rather than my home time. With the current set up I found that I could not without set an alarm for my destination time zone without changing the local clock.

MMS function by default on the n900

Posted on 2010-04-01 08:48 UTC by Rene Ganzer. Status: Waiting, Categories: Internet & Networking.



I miss the MMS function on the N900. EVERY new Phone on the market supports
MMS, but only the newest and best phone out now, can't do this by default.

Yes i can install Fmms, but it doesnt work for me now with the correct operator
settings to send an image, text yes but thats it.

So it would be super if a menu point mms can be added by default, and the
settings must not get inputed from the user itself. Should work same as
Internet or SMS. Automatic configuration or ordered from Operator.

Please add this feature to the new update.

Thanks
