CSV Touch

Great useful fast app

Of course, there are always things you would like to see added. For example, * provide (or document for the less knowledgeable) a way to copy CSV files directly from my PC without using a FTP server. * In LINKS, touching a phone number asks me for a confirmation before dialing, but touching an email address does not. This results in switching to the Mail app, and if I touched the address by mistake I have to cancel out of Mail and then re-launch CVS Touch. Adding a confirmation before emailing would be helpful. * Will there ever be a way to modify or add to an existing CSV file? More work, I know, but would be useful. (Of course, this would require a way to save the modified file back on the PC or server.) Thanks for this great app.

Very nice so far. I hope you plan to evolve it. Some suggestions: 1) Make multiple sorts available w/o going to preferences. After selecting a file ("Books"), get a screen that lets you select the first sort column ("Authors", "Genre", etc.). This might even be the first N lines of your current list instead of a dedicated screen. Besides being generally nice organizationally, this would help with long field values keeping you from seeing the other data, as with the band, "The Presidents of the United States of America". 2) Hierarchies. Rather than seeing ALL my albums sorted by artist (for example), I want just a list of artists, where I can then click one to get the album names. The next level would not include the data from that column. 3) Marketing: Your app is better than some dedicated Book and CD library apps. You should add some text to your description to cover these usages and get more search hits. ("book", "CD", "library", "collections", collectors", etc.) 4) Some of the settings could be per-file. That's a long list, but the app IS well done and I'm glad I bought it.

I've been using this for 10 minutes, and the potential here is awesome. And it works quite well. To answer the previous post, if you're looking at the files, simply swipe from right to left on a file name, and you'll have the option to delete the CSV file from your list. I'm having one problem and a wrinkle: - After importing a pipe delimited file with 20 different columns, I can't seem to get it to let me sort on anything but the first column. I don't see where I have the option to do different sorts, or secondary sorts. Only one option seems to be availabe, and that option is the whole list of columns, all strung together. - The smart delimiter handles commas, pipes, tabs, etc, but the combination of quotes AND commas, which is what the app I'm playing with (Palm Desktop) exports in by default. Anyway, a VERY cool utility. I'm thrilled to watch it evolve!

I tried this out and it works well. I would like to see a sample database to get a sense of how the database needs to be contructed. You have lots of options for deliminaters (I think that is how you say it) but you can't use paragraphs of text in a record field if they contain any of them. It will screw things up. This almost reminds me of a palm DB program but without the editing features. People would create useful dbs and people would use the program to view this useful shared db creations. I like programs like this that allow people to add to the functionality through the program even though this may not be intended for that. If links were available this woud become more interesting.
