Features for 0.6 and beyond – post your suggestions
Hi,
we’re currently working in making the WP application more robust, faster and less buggy.
In addition we have a list of features that have been planned for some future release, these include for example:
- Threaded replies to comments (WP for Android does this well)
- Statistics
- location sharing
- camera integration
- Smaller avatar icon for smaller screens (currently the layout in e.g. E71 is not optimal)
- Better image gallery browsing (We’re following closely what will happen with Qt Mobility: http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2010/02/15/qt-mobility-project-beta-package/ )
What would you like to see in 0.6 Beta? What are the important mobile features that you would like to use? Be free to post your ideas and wishes!

Thanks for the feedback! Whenever you have time, can you please go and have a look at http://nokia.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20, where I have prepared a special build for you to test. Hopefully it will resolve your connection problems.

insert link, inline images, update twitter and facebook —- New Blog Post – http://fldjfl/ddjdj – hello

things like twitter and facebook updates I believe are easier handled on the server side rather than on the client side. Plenty of plugins for self-hosted sites, and built in support on WordPress.com: http://en.support.wordpress.com/twitter/

Agreed there, I made a similar comment not knowing WP.com supported this built-in as a preference per blog.
The problem is this suggestion, like mine, is likely made after information on how to achieve this not being immediately obvious to the user via the dashboard. This is really a result of a lacking UI/UX design for the dashboard which requires the user to understand how the application works rather than presenting a logical task-oriented model based on what they’re likely to need or do.

interface should be more good looking (WordPress for iPhone)….. like the twitter app – Gravity. can you please tell me when it would be available for testing???

i forgot to mention spellcheck

Thanks vinitneo for the suggestions. I fully agree with the linking, also other rich text formatting helpers would be usable. Currently you need to insert the html tags in the content field in order to link. That’s not too comfortable.

Really need a smaller install. Kills the small Nokia N97 C: drive with the full QT install.
thewinchesterau 3:49 pm on February 16, 2010 Permalink |
The 11MB size of the Qt package isn’t the fault of WordPress. However, I totally agree with the sentiment that for users of N97 devices and similar with almost crippled memory sizes, combined with the face Qt is a forced C: install, it makes the decision to use of Qt-developed applications on their handsets that much harder an option.

In order of preference

Also, forgot to mention proper display of paragraph breaks in view post screen. Everything appears as one whole big block of text, thus making things difficult to read.

Totally agree with your Order of preference and proper display of paragraph thing.

Photo Preview whilst selecting an image to add to your post, and also maybe a template selection for aligning the image in your post, say, left with text to right with set border, centre, or right with text on the left with set border. As it stands, unless you have previously renamed an image in your library, its hit or miss if you select the right image to insert.
As mentioned to Janne, Spell checker, he did say this is on the Wishlist which is great.
More wishes
Add HTML for embedding videos/images from webspace.
Add URL, set up where you highlight the text you wish to add a url, then once highlighted, hit add url, and then paste the copied url into the input box.
Bold, Underline, and align settings please too.
Im sure I will think of more, so for the time being, keep up the great work guys, your doing yourselves proud.!

Hi Micky,
Have you noticed that you can preview the images by pressing the green right-arrow in the image selection list? That loads and displays the image (also pressing keypad right should do the trick).
In early versions we had all the image previews visible when browsing the images to attach. Unfortunately the solution we had was too slow to be usable – generating the thumbnail takes around 0.2 seconds with some devices. Works ok with less than 10 images
Of course the thumbnails could be cached or generated at the background in another thread. Both of these increase the complexity a bit, so we decided to wait until Qt Mobility project gets their “document gallery API” ready: http://qt.nokia.com/developer/new-qt-apis
Thank you for the wishes. Looks like many of us wants to get the post writing part of the application better. There are not that many comments about comment managing, setting up a blog etc.
Micky 12:05 pm on February 22, 2010 Permalink |
I had not noticed this, so thanks for pointing it out, perfect, and can understand in it being this way, makes sense.
Thanks again.

Ok, we will have a problem, and its the connection timing out problem. I just wrote a very long post, possibly 400 words, was a great article too, and after hitting save, it said adding new post for a minute of so, then connection time out message, gutted, as I have lost all my work in that article, and its not saved to drafts either. As soon as I hit save, it went to comments view, and no option to save, also, I still could not copy, and paste my work, so gambled in the hope it would work, but sadly not, really gutted.
Micky 5:01 am on February 23, 2010 Permalink |
A work around for posting a lengthy post, I posted the following article by writing a paragraph at a time, saving it to draft, and then editing it to add another paragraph. This worked fine, so I wonder if the timeout is something to do with the amount of words in a post, or the size which causes the issue?
Janne Kalliomäki 8:08 am on February 23, 2010 Permalink |
Yeah, it makes sense that if you have a bad connection and the server is pretty busy, the network engine is too hasty to terminate the connection due to timeout. A fix to Trac issue #24 should mitigate the issue considerably.
Micky 8:16 am on February 23, 2010 Permalink |
Looking forward to testing the new update. Copy and paste is a must have too during testing, as this would save losing written posts during tests.
Micky 4:41 pm on February 24, 2010 Permalink |
Abstract from my test post with 0.5.3, with some suggestions.
Previous version also did not allow copy and paste, so you could not even copy your work, and say paste it into an Active Notes page prior to uploading. If upload failed, you lost everything.
Another suggestion, and request I will add to the WordPress wishlist, is that text will start a new post with a capital letter, and also automatically present a capital letter after a full stop, which this latest build does not.
Thats it for now, keep up the great work guys.!

This is what I was talking about when I said there was a problem with T9 entry. @Micky try inserting symbol when you are using T9
Micky 4:56 pm on February 24, 2010 Permalink |
I cannot access T9 at all. Unless Im doing something wrong, but all I can do is use text, lower case, and higher case. I don’t seem to be able to switch to predictive text for some odd reason. Copy, and paste don’t show either with shift long press.
vinitneo 5:14 pm on February 24, 2010 Permalink |
T9 is working for me…. the lower and higher case thing is annoying….. Copy/paste is not active yet. But I don’t understand why T9 isn’t working for you.
Micky 4:51 am on February 25, 2010 Permalink |
How are you activating T9? What are you doing to switch it on and off? Just in case Im missing something here.
