Thanks! I'm assuming you're talk about the Mac one, yes? I think it's possible to change the number of decimal places via an AppleScript, so you could perhaps do it that way in the short term. But I'll certainly look into a way of doing this - thanks for the suggestion!]]> Tue, 10 Jan 2012 12:01:53 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7816#Post7816 Posted by James Thomson:
No, the rewrite on the Mac side hasn't happened yet I'm afraid, but it's all still on the to do list.]]> Wed, 28 Dec 2011 10:33:22 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7815#Post7815 Posted by James Thomson:
Are we talking iOS or Mac? I had assumed iOS. The layouts are in the settings menu for horizontal and vertical, and separate from the themes which just change the visuals.]]> Wed, 28 Dec 2011 10:32:23 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7738#Post7738 Posted by oppomix13:
can i test my first post in this forum?]]> Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:39:18 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7737#Post7737 Posted by James Thomson:
Sorry, this whole site is just for our various apps. Try somewhere like http://www.vintagecalculators.com/html/calculator_forums.html]]> Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:06:46 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7733#Post7733 Posted by Zatopek:
I apologize if I'm in wrong place. I want to buy a handheld calculator with a DeltaPercent key. I used to have a Cannon KS-81 but that model is no longer made. Can anyone suggest such a handheld calculator? Thanks.]]> Sun, 27 Nov 2011 23:09:25 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7704#Post7704 Posted by James Thomson:
Right now, no, there isn't an option - but that's a good idea. The Roll key is for RPN, it rotates the stack around like a conveyor belt.]]> Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:45:03 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7614#Post7614 Posted by James Thomson:
Thanks - I'm looking to improve the tape a lot in a future update, I will file away these suggestions for then!]]> Thu, 06 Oct 2011 20:48:06 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7606#Post7606 Posted by James Thomson:
I've had a couple of requests for this, will see what I can do!]]> Sun, 02 Oct 2011 08:48:49 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7546#Post7546 Posted by James Thomson:
No, this is not currently a feature, although something I am considering adding in future.]]> Sun, 28 Aug 2011 00:20:19 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7403#Post7403 Posted by James Thomson:
Well, in a way, the dashboard widget version was my solution for this kind of this - one button access. But I'll consider it!]]> Wed, 11 May 2011 22:56:59 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7384#Post7384 Posted by Raimund:
Of course, a short glimpse at the button field indicates non-decimal mode. What about an additional menu entry "set DEC mode"? ]]> Fri, 22 Apr 2011 10:47:15 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7303#Post7303 Posted by Steven Michalske:
i've had thoughts about this topic for some time, and working in the low level embedded world i can't even just deal with 8,16,32,64 bits. I deal with 10 bit, 24 bit, name your bits. So when setting the word width, take a note from the HP48 and make it an arbitrary setting. Fixed point math support..... This one is trickier. But when working with microcontroller i ofter switch to fixed point representations of my math, this one is more of a challenge in display, but having to remember the decimal place should stay with a slide rule.....]]> Thu, 03 Mar 2011 14:18:42 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7283#Post7283 Posted by James Thomson:
Still thinking on the best way to do it - the 2.3.x releases have all just been bug fixes.]]> Sat, 29 Jan 2011 08:35:00 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7226#Post7226 Posted by James Thomson:
Never say never, but I doubt it I'm afraid - it would require rewriting a lot of code as the Android system is very different to that of iOS.]]> Wed, 29 Dec 2010 11:43:49 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7215#Post7215 Posted by EQBob:
Ditto. I'd buy (in an instant) an expansion package that would do that and allow the printout table to be emailed, copied, etc. Great idea IMHO. EQBob]]> Thu, 16 Dec 2010 08:10:32 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7190#Post7190 Posted by James Thomson:
Yes, it's definitely on the wish list!]]> Wed, 08 Dec 2010 20:16:15 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7151#Post7151 Posted by James Thomson:

I think this will be fine now, I just haven't got round to implementing it since the rules were relaxed, It's definitely on my feature list I want to do soon.]]> Fri, 15 Oct 2010 18:16:23 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7080#Post7080 Posted by James Thomson:
Consider it noted! I've held off from adding inches of water and mercury because they aren't completely defined as a standard measure, but I'll look into it.]]> Wed, 08 Sep 2010 07:07:10 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7020#Post7020 Posted by James Thomson:

In RPN mode, PCalc has a "Last" button - it's the 2nd function on Enter - which does something like this. Are you using PCalc in RPN or regular mode?]]> Sun, 01 Aug 2010 23:41:48 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6998#Post6998 Posted by James Thomson:
Thanks! It's not exactly Nixie tubes, but it's heading in the right direction - this theme is in the next release 2.2: http://twitpic.com/27vc4s/full]]> Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:37:34 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6996#Post6996 Posted by James Thomson:
Thanks, most of those are on my list already - there are no technical reasons why the initial ideas couldn't be done, all the support is in the backend already - they are just XML files inside the app. Fractions is a lot harder, but I know people want it. Likewise date and time, which is just a case of coming up with a new UI. Thanks!]]> Sun, 25 Jul 2010 08:50:02 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6995#Post6995 Posted by James Thomson:
I completely agree, and the iPad version does this. On the phone though, all my attempts to scroll to the bottom failed! Maybe on iOS 4 I can make it work. I'll try again... Thanks!]]> Sun, 25 Jul 2010 08:46:53 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6989#Post6989 Posted by davheili:
I'm thinking that the horizontal layout Rolando suggested above would be great for a new "Adding Machine" mode.]]> Fri, 23 Jul 2010 16:42:31 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6977#Post6977 Posted by James Thomson:
We don't have any flow conversions just now, but I'll consider it certainly. Therms, we've already added. For speed, is feet per minute used in any particular industry or area? It didn't seem too common which is why we didn't include it before. I'm hoping to add user editing to the constants soon - there are really too many to include to keep everybody happy without making them hard to access. Not sure when, but it's on the list.]]> Mon, 05 Jul 2010 13:06:01 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6957#Post6957 Posted by PaulMcQ:
Please add a financial module. I'll even spend actual real cash to get it !! You should recognize that if you can get a tight-wad financial sales guy to say THAT.... you've got a hungry market out there. Your UI is so much better than the others. I've tried and dumped a couple of the other software finance calculators here. I'm stuck still dragging my physical HP around with me. Pleeeeeese..... Meanwhile I use yours for everything else]]> Tue, 22 Jun 2010 17:16:02 GMT http://www.dragthing.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6952#Post6952 Posted by James Thomson:
