Is anybody working on a GUI for modules? Here's my wish list: - present an "ms explorer" view of modulefiles (with expandable version lists), where every name/version is listed only once according to the order of paths in MODULEPATH; - present all modulefiles/versions at request an provide a window for modifying/reordering of paths in MODULEPATH; - use highlighting for added/initadded modules; - present a menu that: 1. displays help; 2. does "init*"; 3. starts a terminal emulator and does "add <modulefile> ..." for that particular shell according to selection; 4. does "add <modulefile>; exec <modulefile>" (and/or, ultimately, mangles startup files for common window managers so that appropriate stuff is entered in menu definitions); 5. can pop up windows where stdio/stderr is redirected for debugging. What do you think? Gintas |
