If we get this information from libDC or our text parsers, fine.
If it is something the user will add  manually they might as well add it in
the notes field.

That wouldn't be too terribly hard in principle. But usually once you take
that first step, people want more. Autocompletion of entries. Ability to
search and/or filter. Ability to display the information in the mobile app,
etc.

I'm not against doing this, but I want us to do this eyes wide open.

I really hope that Tomaz will NOT say "I'll do it", mainly because he is
working on statistics and we have too many things already that got
started and never got finished :-/

Re: Possibility to add custom field?

2017-07-25 Thread Linus Torvalds 
This message was in the Subsurface "Google Groups" thing, and I'm
moving the discussion to the development mailing list instead since I
think more people read that one.

[ I don't know how many people follow that google group, thing - I
just do it over email anyway ]]

Anyway, I suggested to Marc that the natural way to do this would be
to make it possible to edit the "extradata" { key, value } pairs that
we show in the "Extra Info" tab, and Marc said that would work well
for him.

But obviously I don't do UI code. But it feels like it *should* be
fairly easy to make that "Extra data" thing be something you can add
entries to and edit.

Anybody? Help? Tomaz?
