upcoming features for QuickGold
Please leave your suggestions for features you want to see in future versions of QuickGold. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please list needed features in the Issues table as well instead of leaving a comment here. Please try to keep it one feature-per issue filed. It is getting a bit difficult for me to sort things out from the comments :) I will read the issues and just attach labels appropriately to them. Thanks! Features plannedThis is based both on my thoughts as well as your feedback.
Features I am worried about, and not likely to implement soonMainly, because I want QuickGold to be fast.
In general, I think the purpose of QuickGold is to speed-up things that need to be done very very often. For example, app launching, calling people, searching Google, etc. are some of the things almost all people do way too many times on the phone. How often do people search for SMSes? or Notes? Or music? I think not very often. But I may be wrong. So, if you have particular use-cases for these as well, let me know. |

#1 The ability to search bookmarks would be great!
#2 The ability to get to specific portions of the Settings app such as bluetooth, brightness, airplane, etc (the way you can get to specific settings in OSX System Preferences with Quicksilver
Thanks!
how can i remove my contacts from the search results? (ive got many contacts and just want to use quickgold for apps)
love the app, thanks!
I want to turn off everything but contacts - QuickGold for dialing contacts is such a huge improvement it's the only way I dial number. But apps and other things get in the way.
How about a customize menu where we can enable or disable different things to search? Also the blue arrows on each contacts to go to context (dial/sms/view contact).
A settings option to Double Tap the Home Button or an Icon to start Quick Gold vs a single tap...
The ability to input via Veency from remote computer. This doesnt seem to work for some reason. Not sure if it's a QuickGold problem or a Veency problem.
I would like the ability to create Calendar events from QuickGold : Here is how I think it could work : 1 - Type Calendar 2 - Press blue arrow at the right 3 - A popup appears with 2 choices : Launch calender, or Add event 4 - If you choose Add event, cursor goes back to field and you can type the info for example : Lunch with Sally tommorow at noon
This would require a parser, but could be very cool !
zataang, re: speed of operation and "how often do people search for SMSes? or Notes? Or music? I think not very often. But I may be wrong", you could consider having a preferences setting, where users can select which categories of data will be searched by QG.
"settings so people can restrict / include what things they want to search for"
What I think would work well is to have check-boxes at the top (maybe on a bar with show hide button to quickly access them) and the search result is updated immediately. Boxes could be: Apps / Contacts / Messages(includes email?) / web (includes bookmark and history)
That's the feature that I'm really waiting for! Great work thus far!
Forgot to add, another feature would be useful is a priority setting, such as giving priority to apps over messages, contacts over web history etc.
ok sure, the next big version will most certainly have a preference pane. thanks a lot for your ideas folks, keep them coming :)
Great app, thanks for putting this together! My suggestion is to be able to search through the calendar. Maybe this will slow it down to much, don't know but having a universal system search that includes the calendar would be great! Also including the ability to search for the company of a contact would be of use as well. Will donate when i get some money in my pocket!
I think that launching the first ocurrence when ypu tap Go instead of tapping on the item would be a very ultra timesaver!
I ALSO would be quite interested in a double-tap home action. I've used Dock pre-2.0 in the past for this, and the new version of Dock just slows things down so much. QuickGold is amazing and I've been extremely impressed. Simplicity, I believe, is amazing with an application, and you have pulled it off. Hats off to you. Double-Tap functionality would be absolutely amazing.
I am curious as to why you folks need the double-tap functionality. Typically, the double-tap for Home is hooked to something else by the iPhone, and I wanted to leave that as is. Please let me your intention and I will work something out.
I agree with jezu.tk on the Go button. I find myself typing in enough chars to find the contact I want unambiguously and it would be great to just hit Go to call. Great work on the app. This and intelliscreen are reasons to have a freed phone.
there should be a setting page.. maybe you can have icon that brings up setting page? or have a page in the Settings.app. If this is gonna be anything like quicksilver, it needs to be more customizable. If i can add custom keyword search, other than "g <google search>" , this app would be much much useful. and maybe you can add options to choose which category you are using? meaning, some people only wants to search contacts while some people wants to be able to search music and video. so instead of you worrying about quickgold slowing down because you have to search musics too, you can let the users worry about that and just give them option to be able to search music.
oh and, when searching for contacts, it would be nice if i can click the search result to view the contacts in the contacts.app. I have ipod touch and... therefore can't make calls or send sms.
Instead of adding double tap, I'd rather there be optional universal triple tap behavior to launch. This would allow me to go from locked-to-launch with a quick 3-key sequence... (not sure if that's possible). Or, at least in the middle of using an app I could triple tap to pull this up.
I think the app is a great start!
Hey Zataang - Searching emails to me would be the one killer feature that I miss most about not having a blackberry... can you squeeze it in? Seeing as there is a 200 email limit currently for each account (yes, I know you can download 200 / imap path / account, but few people do) - it shouldn't bog the UI down much (you could also include a setting in the pref pane you have planned to index your email beforehand and store the index in an SQLite db somewhere) so the response time to user queries would be quick!
Enjoy the donation I sent...
Peace, S†åç™
Feature request:
- Ability to open a contact without calling it (would be useful if you want to look at the address etc.). Either a point in the menu on the right (open contact, send text message, send mail, cancel) or if you tap the name (in the middle) or the left icon.
- Highlight the search characters in the found items (for the first and the smaller second line). It would make it easier to quickly recognize why something was found.
I don't know if it's a bug or a missing feature: - Search for email address does only work if the contact has no phone number.
The seek for app "pages"!
I have a request: can you build in the function that you can easily scroll throug "pages" of apps (on the sprinboard) with typing in like just number "1" to go on the first page, or like "10" to go to the tenth page. Cuz I have like 10 pages of apps and dont know every app by heart, but I mostly know on which page its on or that its near that page. You know how that is - I mostly use the apps on the last page (the newly downloaded/installed) and the apps on the first page (like safari, calc, cal...).
That would be really cool if you could manage!
