Feature request: option to collapse contact items #32

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I would like to see an option to collapse contact items.

For example:

QuickGold finds three contacts (*), each with free phone numbers (#). You
get nine items for your search (like today in QuickGold 1.1.1):

       -
#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#  <-- John Smith (*) 012-345-6789 (#)
#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#  <-- John Smith (*) 012-345-9876 (#)
#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
...

There's one global button to collapse all these items (like the "+" in
Windows Explorer's tree view). After you press it your nine items become
three (one for each contact):

       +
***************  <-- John Smith (*)
***************
***************

If you select one item it expands and the contact's three phone numbers are
shown:

       +
***************  <-- John Smith (*)
###############  <-- 012-345-6789 (#)
###############  <-- 012-345-9876 (#)
###############
***************
***************

Tap the name again and it collapses. Tap the "+" icon and all expand back
to todays view like in the beginning.

Of course it could be optional if you start you search in the expanded or
collapsed view (QuickGold could remember your last setting or you set it
via settings menu). Or if QuickGold finds more than X contacts then they
automatically collapse (so all contacts start collapsed until you narrow
your search down to under X contacts).

Just a quick example for an implementation but I would really like to see
something like that.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
QuickGold 1.1.1 on iPhone 3G 2.1

Too complex for QuickGold's current needs, and I don't see a big need for this.
Typing a few more characters to narrow down your search is far faster than the
cognitive complexity of navigating the +/- thing. Also, really, NO complex 
interfaces
in QuickGold. They just can't be done properly within SpringBoard. QG needs to 
be as
light weight as it can be. It just has to be automatically intelligent.
