Make a swiping motion to bring up option to delete files from file list

Support for probability functions for Quicksheet
Would like to see at least the PERMUT (permutation) function supported.

To keep the mobile's clock always visible on top when the program is running.
Submitted by texmail02

I would like to suggest the following improvements for the QuickCalendar:

When you change a date, it gives you the month's view instead of just a space to write the date (it is faster than calculating the date or going back to the monthly view). [I understand that this improvement is not easy.]

I believe that these changes could make QuickCalendar very marketable because there is no application with these capabilities yet. I like your products very much.

I would like to suggest the following improvements for the QuickCalendar:

When you select/touch an appointment in the monthly/weekly view, you are given the option to view, edit or update it. The update option lets you change the date only.

We have a request for saving email attachments but not one for sending them.
There is currently a feature request to allow users to sort at:
http://quickoffice.ideascale.com/a/dtd/16523-5219

This does not include the ability to sort Google Docs files by "All Items", "Owned by me", "Bin", "Starred", "Hidden", etc. however.
'It would be nice to have a zoom function when trying to read PDF file.' authored by zwa2go was merged with this idea.
This feature has already been requested. See: http://quickoffice.ideascale.com/a/dtd/20210-5219
Dropbox syncs files that are displayed in the Dropbox folder on each connected device, but files downloaded to other locations are not synced.

See KB article at http://support.quickoffice.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=368
which discusses this issue with regards to iDisk accounts.

As noted, Quickcalendar can be synced to MS Outlook. I've approved this feature request.
'Hi,

I wish QuickOffice could implement protected cell. It helps to ensure that the excel file protected to prevent unauthorised updates by other people that I share the file. It also gives flexibility to open up certain cell to ensure that only that cell is updateable.

'When displaying a pdf file in quickoffice it would be helpful to search for specific content or jump to pages. This would be helpful when navigating large pdf documents. I have some product data sheets that are over 200 pages.' authored by robert_honeycutt was merged with this idea.
There are currently some shortcuts within Quickword that should allow you to scroll by page and/or screen. Please see the list here:

The shortcuts for this specific request do require pressing two keys, however, and this request is for one key press.

'The font for the filenames is too large. Only a small part of the filenames can be seen

With 32 GByte on the iPhone 3GS it’s possible to store all my work documents on the iPhone. Now there are about 10.000 files in 1000 folders, 8 Gbyte.

OK! But finding a specific file it not that easy, because:
1. The font for the filenames is too large. Only a small part of the filenames can be seen (especially in a professional working environment there are filename rules, e.g. (project-name)(normal-filename)(author)(date) e.g. “CRMvers3.01 ReleaseDocumentation ah 2009-11-12.doc“ which reads on Quickoffice like this “CRMvers3.01 …-11-12.doc“. Not very helpful, with 50 other files starting with the same project-name “CRMvers3.01”

Solution:
smaller font, or better: fonts-size setting option (small –medium-large)
and/or landscape-screen feature for file-listings

Other issues:

'You should add a support for Macros in Excell. This would allow people to create applications that can be used on an I-Phone of I-Pod witthout having to go through the runaround of buying a Mac and learning to program an application. I have created an Excell application that allows Constructors and Builders to estimate the cost of constructing a building, just in a few minutes, by entering some simple dimensions and basic parameters; cost of standard building materials is input once at the beginning and only updated as needed. This application would be even more useful if it could be taken along on an I-Pod or I-Phone instead of a Laptop.' authored by jacquescarrier was merged with this idea.

'This app (Quickoffice - iPhone)is really great and essential. Only one thing is missed and we hope an update can work it out. I purchased this app and got disappointed to find that Right-to-Left direction is not enabled when writing. This feature is strongly needed with some languages where the text direction is from right to left, as in Arabic for instance. I found that documents of such a kind are shown in a mess. The words and sentences are here and there and make no sense. Even when writing, it doesn't go well.

'In order to understand my QuickOffice suggestion, you will need to be familiar with either iphonebrowser or iphone explorer and to have DigiDNA’s (free) FileAid installed. Once installed, you need to go to FileAid settings and observe that there is an area called Sharing. Turn on the setting entitled “Use DiskAid folder instead of FileAid folder in FTP.”

Now using iphonebrowser or iphone explorer, you can access the part of the iPhone or iPod Touch directory under root. You will see it as
• [root]
o DCIM
- .MISC
- 100APPLE
- DiskAid
- …
Any file that you put under DCIM can now be viewed on the phone using the FileAid app. Moreover, even files in other subdirectories of DCIM, such as GoodReaderUSB can be viewed and manipulated via FileAid (and vice versa by GoodReader). So apparently, Apple does not firewall the apps in the USB areas as they do in the WIFI area. With DiskAid's “Use disk aid folder…” feature turned on, you can also access the same file directory using WIFI. That is, WIFI and USB access can be merged into the same directory structure.

Now I realize that the DCIM files are not backed up, but for people who want to use their iPod touch/iPhone as a USB flash device, this is not a problem. The iPod/iPhone is the backup.

My request from QuickOffice is to provide the same features as in DiskAid: (1) Provide an option to access files within the DCIM directory (allowed by Apple at this time--we are not talking about jailbreaking or anything illegal), by registering/creating a subdirectory to DCIM called, say, QuickOfficeUSB. Then provide the option within the QuickOffice app to navigate to the QuickOffice USB directory and then all the way up to the DCIM directory (so that the user can see and manipulate files from other apps like DiskAid). Then (2) allow the user to choose the WIFI access to point to the directory under DCIM, so that when the user does upload files that way, s/he can place them in the same USB directory structure.

(You may wish to warn users that the USB directory is not backed up by iTunes. But that is okay with many of us, since we already are pushing the disk limits of older laptops with iTunes music and apps.)

In summary, the problem statement is best framed as "In QuickOffice how can I use WIFI and USB essentially interchangeably in the most integrated fashion. I do not care about backup via iTunes."

Note: everybody seems to say something like "This problem is because of restrictions placed by Apple on the iPhone OS platform and not because of QuickOffice." This is fundamentally incorrect. The restrictions are ONLY in the WIFI area. If you use the DCIM area, there is no such restriction. That is how DiskAid does it, although apparently this is not a well-understood feature in DiskAid.' authored by alexpconn was merged with this idea.
agented, MobileFiles did not include Google Docs support (only MobileMe access)--there has not yet been a Quickoffice release that included access to Google Docs. Thanks!
'QuickOffice is not really usable without efficient (and standard) ways to transfer files from/to desktop PC or Mac.
Sub-ideas :
- Emulate standard USB key (like *any* phone, smartphone, PDA, and any other digital gadget)
- Provide true network sharing, using Samba or NFS shares (not WebDAV)
Nota : We know this is a limitation of iPhone OS and not a limitation of QuickOffice. Anyway, we need solutions to this problem. ' authored by t.ottavi was merged with this idea.

'Whether as an aggregate function or built into the UI, sorting in ascending/descending orderis IMHO a must have feature for spreadsheet software.
