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!).
10 tasklist_update(): add_window() if new==old?
12 Hard-code sub-class-of.
14 Size and position settings don't work on new windows.
16 Odd things to investigate:
17 - foreach_remove in filer settings.
18 - newChild -> newChildText?
19 - Remove Filter regexp code.
21 ROX has an implementation of GtkIconTheme copied from GTK 2.3. GTK 2.4
22 also has its own copy. Both copies scan the theme directories when
23 initialised, which is a waste of time. ROX should use the GTK version
26 Saved settings for display size and position make the window flicker when
31 Windows should include the toolbar size when autosizing, but still allow the
32 window to be resized smaller. Remove the current option.
34 Going Up in List View loses the focus and scroll position.
36 Better errors from SOAP messages.
38 If you set an icon view with some details turned on (like "sizes" or
39 "permissions") a maximum width value is silently ignored.
41 Shift+Menu on the Up button should show the Send To menu.
43 Sorting by group/user should use name (Bernard Jungen).
45 File2.html comes before File.html. Also, very large numbers aren't handled.
47 Mounting/unmounting via a symlink doesn't update the display automatically.
49 When the minibuffer is highlighted in red, scanning more items should recheck.
51 Text beside icons style is too wide.
55 - Short name for bookmarks (you can assign names to items, so instead of
56 seeing "/usr/share/doc" in the menu, you see "Documentation").
59 - Show selection groups?
60 - Auto-add recent operations
62 Iconified directories show the directory's icon (Marcus Lundblad)?
64 Some way to process the files found by Find.
66 Active icons in iconified windows (Christian V. J. Brüssow).
68 When all selected items have the same type, show handlers for that type on
69 the SendTo menu (Arnaud Calvo)?
71 Tab completion in save boxes.
73 Order icons vertically or horizontally (option)?
75 Rescanning sometimes causes the display to scroll (automounter problem).
77 Opening an AVFS directory with left-click should reuse the same window.
79 Deleting / moving files should update the globicons?
81 'Edit Item' doesn't make much sense for applets...
83 Make Find expressions easier for beginners.
85 Individual sliders for max window horizontal and vertical sizes?
87 Winking of items should be an option?
89 Shell / Select If history menu.
91 Shift-click on symlink should open the file. Add a 'Follow link' submenu.
93 Key bindings in the New File menu don't work (move to dialog box?).
95 All leafnames to be truncated, even when details are displayed.
96 Use condensed fonts for long names?
98 Use an environment variable to override the platform-name guessing in
101 Right-most icon in the last row should extend to the far right of the window,
102 even if it isn't in the last column.
104 Allow filtering on any expression (not just Show Hidden).
106 Allow find expression with Permissions command...
112 Fully configurable toolbar?
116 Close Panel menu item?
118 Highlighting of icons as you drag a box around them, so it's clear what you
119 have caught in the box?
121 Enable (temporarily) single-click navigation when a special key is pressed?
123 In single click mode, beep when the user tries to double click?
125 Copying a relative symlink should make it absolute? Ask during the copy?
127 Recursive 'a-x' acts on the directory first and so can't then change the
128 permissions on the contents. chmod(1) has the same problem.
130 Option to disable open-file-and-close-window behaviour (sometimes happens
133 Remember last scroll position when returning to a directory?
135 'Edge folders' (panel items spring-open with zero delay when the pointer
136 is at the edge of the scree)?
138 AppInfo.xml (Christopher Arndt):
139 <Property name="x-on-drop-move" value="--move"/>
140 <Property name="x-on-drop-link" value="--link"/>
147 Use a separate process to access the filesystem. Prevents hanging when you
148 try to access a dead filesystem. Do this via gnome-vfs?
150 Allow user to change permissions to another user on the fly, by entering a
151 password. 'su' requires a tty - use xsu?
