[Scribia-dev] Things to work on

[Ben H. <bh...@al...>]

Great, welcome back! thanks. <Argh this mac sucks i cant even 
compile/link and type an email without freezing for 2 minutes.> Ok.

I have a bunch of changes in the works which i will try to finish 
tonight if i can...

Things BEN is working on (but not yet checked in. Ben cant seem to 
finish something before starting on something else :)
---------

0. Changed name of "Characters" folder to "Scribia Characters" so we 
dont get mixed up with Scribus files. (done)
1. progress bar when views are rebuilt
2. prefs file implemented.  (done)
3. moved constants to ScribiaConstants.h (done)
4. Trying out my "menu view" idea. This will let the GUI handle 
whatever lark adds, without me having to hand-add new "table columns" 
to the views. The user will be able to choose (and save) whatever 
fields she wants.


GUI-type things i will work on after these are done, unless someone 
else says "i'll do that"... I'm not including scanner issues here...
---------

1. Add "Vers" resource or some sort of version identifier to the save 
file format.

1a. Add switches so old save file formats are read in properly.

2. Making changes to the edit fields within tables "stick", and get 
copied into the document. (this may require some refactoring) Work to 
be done here is in CEditItem. Shouldnt be terribly hard.

3. Change over to the new trainer map-based format. (is it ready lark?)

4. Add .r file with the main app's VERS resource to project so 
updaing version number is easier. (like CL source uses, thanks for 
the idea DT :)

5. Use the mozilla javascript library to put Paramedic's "raining 
thooms" in the about box.

(ok #5 is optional. but i hear it is very simple to implement)

6. Fix the LPicture so it actually SHOWS the exile picture the user 
chose. (its not using the right resource file, so its not displayed. 
However the pic is saved in the save file. I think we might just need 
to create the LPicture dynamically)

7. Based on user preference, (which i put in the prefs file already) 
do a recursive scan when scanning folders for logfiles.


I think i want to get all these done before the next release.
