Introduction

'A simple GTK2 utility for making quick lists'

QuickList allows novice and experienced users to keep track of "things" without any help from a system administrator. "Things" can be anything. Some examples include: bug lists, phone lists, restaurants, team members, calendars, cool URLs, chequebooks, fishing holes, CDs, etc. It is completely flexible.

QuickList makes lists in column format, much as they would appear in a spreadsheet. Quicklist can sort lists, search from them and generate HTML reports from them.

Comma and tab delimited files can be imported and exported. In addition, html can be exported for publishing to the World Wide Web.

QuickList is being migrated to Gtk2 and the old quicklist home is no longer available. Future releases of QuickList will be made from SourceForge and made available via this new QuickList home.

Old QuickList files

The new QuickList will continue using the plain text storage backend from v0.8.6 although XML may be supported later, along with SQLite. XSL conversions will provide simple support for existing data formats like Palm (pilot-qof) and embedded devices (gpe-expenses).
