Re: [Usbpicprog-technical] upp_wx GUI

Hi,

There are a couple of things I really like about what you did:

    * I think you are doing a good job, the filenames you changed make
      sense and also some of the object names (like readHexfile wasn't
      only reading anymore)
    * I like the tabbed layout you created
    * It is good to have the form-builder project up to date (I stopped
      using it, because I only used it as a template and found it more
      convenient to edit the code itself)
    * The bakefiles seem a good idea, since people can now build the
      project from their favourite IDE. (Though I have no idea what to
      do with it, and I don't even want to know because I just like my
      good old automake things)

There are also a couple of things I dislike about what you did:

    * Why have you removed all the "&" signs from the strings? They
      should be in the menu and now also the language files are all
      corrupted...
    * Why have you removed the progress bar from the status bar? I liked
      it there, now you can't see any progress anymore? or do you have
      another idea for it? (please communicate before you change big
      things like that!)
    * I thought I was clear about the checkboxes for usbpicprog /
      bootloader. The fact that you don't like them doesn't mean that we
      agreed that they should be removed...
    * I miss some things in the menu like Preferences, Connect
      Usbpicprog etc. I think I have not made them through formbuilder,
      but I implemented them in cpp. If you want to fallback on
      formbuilder it's ok, but we will also have to implement them again.
    * My window doesn't resize anymore (well, the Y scale resizes, but
      in the X-direction it is maximized and I am unable to drag the
      size. Maybe this is an ubuntu / wxWidgets 2.8.0 thing, and I
      haven't spent much time on finding the problem in the code, but it
      needs a fix.

Regards,

Frans
