Customize and improve Qalculate GUI #448

Open pstein opened 1 year ago

pstein commented 1 year ago

I am evaluating Qalculate v4.50 on Windows and wonder how to improve GUI.

First of all: I miss an option to show the history of previous calculations.

How can I enable it?

Secondly there is the small subwindow (with "RAD" label at the right). It always shows the same as in the top-sub window.

So it seems to be useless. How can I disable it?

At last I would appreciate if I could merge formula entry field subwindow and result sub window into one.

How can I achieve it?

Click on "History" below the result (click on the padlock icon next to "Keypad" to simultaneously show the keypad), or press Ctrl+H.

It shows (on the left) how the current expression is interpreted, or description of the arguments of the current function. You can disable it in preferences (Edit->Preferences->Look & Feel->Display expression status). The label at the right will however still be shown.

It is not possible in the qalculate-gtk. It seems as if the "New" Qt UI (qalculate-qt) might suite you better.
