Here's a copy of the current TODO file, with annotations and questions :BUGS : :Is setting thumbnailers from the Set Icon box sensible UI? All current thumbnailers use mime_handler in ROX-Lib, so we can pull this= feature. :Installing an icon theme isn't an error! Don't know this one. : : FEATURES FOR 2.1 : :Going Up in List View loses the focus and scroll position. : :Better errors from SOAP messages. : :If you set an icon view with some details turned on (like "sizes" or :"permissions") a maximum width value is silently ignored. : :Info box should close on Escape. : :Shift+Menu on the Up button should show the Send To menu. No comment on those. :Sorting by group/user should use name (Bernard Jungen). Just done. :File2.html comes before File.html. Also, very large numbers aren't handl= ed. Looked at that and thought "too hard" :Mounting/unmounting via a symlink doesn't update the display automatical= ly. : :When the minibuffer is highlighted in red, scanning more items should recheck. : :Text beside icons style is too wide. No comment :Bookmarks: :- Short name for bookmarks. What does this mean? :Extra menu entries for mount points (eject, format, free). This is done. :When copying or moving files and asking for confirmation, display detail= s of :the two files to aid comparison. As is this, unless we need more info. :Bookmarks: :- Show selection groups? :- Auto-add recent operations : :Iconified directories show the directory's icon (Marcus Lundblad)? : :Some way to process the files found by Find. : :Auto-unmount when last directory is closed. : :Active icons in iconified windows (Christian V. J. Br=FCssow). : :When all selected items have the same type, show handlers for that type = on :the SendTo menu (Arnaud Calvo)? No comment. :Use XFS extended attribute to store MIME types. This is begun, we just need more people to be running file systems that support it, :More options to set fonts? Which ones? :Put Disk Usage in the Info box? Done. :Tab completion in save boxes. : :Have an option to set what happens when you double-click the background.= :Or disable this... the toolbar can be used to resize. Double click on background to resize is now optional. :Order icons vertically or horizontally (option)? Should just be a SMOP. :Rescanning sometimes causes the display to scroll (automounter problem).= : :Allow command-line arguments for executation pinboard/panel icons. : :Opening an AVFS directory with left-click should reuse the same window. : :Deleting / moving files should update the globicons? : :'Edit Item' doesn't make much sense for applets... No comment on those. :Make Find expressions easier for beginners. ... but without losing features for non-beginners. :Individual sliders for max window horizontal and vertical sizes? : :Winking of items should be an option? : :Shell / Select If history menu. : :Shift-click on symlink should open the file. Add a 'Follow link' submenu= . : :Option to make menu-click over a file open the File submenu only? No comment :Key bindings in the New File menu don't work (move to dialog box?). Dialog box might be useful. :All leafnames to be truncated, even when details are displayed. :Use condensed fonts for long names? No comment. :Use an environment variable to override the platform-name guessing in :AppRun. Just done that (and in ROX-Session) :Provide a way to set the display style on a per-directory basis :(shell glob patterns?) Also remember window size? Would be useful. Store only the settings which aren't the current defaul= t? :Right-most icon in the last row should extend to the far right of the window, :even if it isn't in the last column. : :Allow filtering on any expression (not just Show Hidden). Filter by name is in. If filer_match_filter() took a DirItem* then more filtering options are possible. :Allow find expression with Permissions command... : : : OTHERS : : :Fully configurable toolbar? : :Corner panels? : :Close Panel menu item? : :Highlighting of icons as you drag a box around them, so it's clear what = you :have caught in the box? : :More permissions checking in Find? -RWX? : :Enable (temporarily) single-click navigation when a special key is press= ed? : :In single click mode, beep when the user tries to double click? : :Copying a relative symlink should make it absolute? Ask during the copy?= : :Recursive 'a-x' acts on the directory first and so can't then change the= :permissions on the contents. chmod(1) has the same problem. : :Option to disable open-file-and-close-window behaviour (sometimes happen= s :accidentally)? : :Remember last scroll position when returning to a directory? : :'Edge folders' (panel items spring-open with zero delay when the pointer= :is at the edge of the scree)? : :SOAP calls to remove pinboard/panel icons? : :AppInfo.xml (Christopher Arndt): : <Property name=3D"x-on-drop-move" value=3D"--move"/> : <Property name=3D"x-on-drop-link" value=3D"--link"/> : No comment yet on those. : : LONG TERM : : :Use a separate process to access the filesystem. Prevents hanging when y= ou :try to access a dead filesystem. Do this via gnome-vfs? Wouldn't need to be a thread rather than a process? Can we assume gnome-vfs is available? Does it work on Solaris? :Allow user to change permissions to another user on the fly, by entering= a :password. 'su' requires a tty - use xsu?
