2 A RISCOS-like filer for X
5 This is a list of features that should/will be added when I have time (or
6 when someone sends patches!).
11 Dragging a pinboard icon doesn't remove the tooltip.
13 When the minibuffer is highlighted in red, scanning more items should recheck.
15 Panel sometimes won't accept drops (sawfish bug).
17 Using spring-opening with a missing directory has grab problems (Gkt+
20 Changing the pinboard font doesn't realign the icons.
22 Dirs in /proc which have no access permission keep bringing up error boxes.
26 Use XFS extended attribute to store MIME types.
28 Clean out thumbnails cache (memory and disk) from time to time.
32 Option to show DnD menu on button-1 drags (for pen users).
34 Put Disk Usage in the Info box.
36 Tab completion in save boxes.
38 Have an option to set what happens when you double-click the background.
40 Option to auto-choose Large or Small icons depending on the number of files.
42 User icons for mounted/unmounted?
44 Order icons vertically or horizontally (option).
46 Rescanning sometimes causes the display to scroll (automounter problem).
48 Allow command-line arguments for executation pinboard/panel icons.
50 Opening an AVFS directory with left-click should reuse the same window.
52 Deleting / moving files should update the globicons?
54 Pinboard icons can only be dragged one at a time.
56 Remove icon should work with MIME stuff.
58 'Edit Item' doesn't make much sense for applets...
60 Option to mount on click, Shift+Click to open without mounting.
62 Make Find expressions easier for beginners.
64 Improve thumbnail handling:
68 Individual sliders for max window horizontal and vertical sizes.
70 Winking of items should be an option.
72 Path Entry minibuffer -- add a drop down list for bookmarks.
73 Way to reopen last closed directory. Also do this for Select If.
75 Shift-click on symlink should open the file. Add a 'Follow link' submenu.
77 Option to make menu-click over a file open the File submenu only?
79 Key bindings in the New File menu doesn't work (move to dialog box?).
81 All leafnames to be truncated, even when details are displayed.
82 Use condensed fonts for long names?
84 Use an environment variable to override the platform-name guessing in
87 Provide a way to set the display style on a per-directory basis
88 (shell glob patterns?) Also remember window size?
90 Right-most icon in the last row should extend to the far right of the window,
91 even if it isn't in the last column.
93 Allow find expression with Permissions command...
95 Unify ROX, GNOME and KDE MIME type guessing systems.
96 Still use our own system for MIME handlers and icons, though.
101 Fully configurable toolbar?
105 Close Panel menu item?
107 Toolbar buttons for sort type?
109 Highlighting of icons as you drag a box around them, so it's clear what you
110 have caught in the box?
112 Allow the filer to go inside GNOME-panel and similar?
114 More permissions checking in Find? -RWX?
116 Enable (temporarily) single-click navigation when a special key (e.g. Alt)
119 In single click mode, beep when the user tries to double click?
121 Options to set where the toolbar appears?
123 Copying a relative symlink should make it absolute? Ask during the copy?
125 Recursive 'a-x' acts on the directory first and so can't then change the
126 permissions on the contents. chmod(1) has the same problem.
128 Option to disable open-file-and-close-window behaviour (sometimes happens
131 Remember last scroll position when returning to a directory?
133 'Edge folders' (panel items spring-open with zero delay when the pointer
134 is at the edge of the scree)?
136 SOAP calls to remove pinboard/panel icons?
141 Use a separate process to access the filesystem. Prevents hanging when you
142 try to access a dead filesystem. Do this via gnome-vfs?
144 Allow user to change permissions to another user on the fly, by entering a
145 password. 'su' requires a tty - use xsu?
