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 Shell command with a temp item selected doesn't work.
16 Using spring-opening with a missing directory has grab problems (Gkt+
20 - Panel menu appears, but menu item under cursor doesn't highlight
22 - Pinboard text background types none/outline don't work
23 - Can't set menu shortcuts to a single key (eg, 'L') (GTK bug)
24 - Eventboxes don't DnD highlight (GTK bug)
25 - Details should use a monospace font (GTK/Pango bug?)
26 - Action window log doesn't scroll properly (GTK bugs?)
27 - Spawning shell scripts sometimes gives Bad Address (glib bug)
29 User icons for mounted/unmounted?
31 When setting the icon for a directory, offer to create a .DirIcon instead of
32 adding a path to globicons.
34 Order icons vertically or horizontally (option).
36 Rescanning sometimes causes the display to scroll (automounter problem).
38 Panel sometimes won't accept drops:
39 - Create panel without a window manager running
40 - Start sawfish. Panel no longer accepts drops.
41 - Same thing happens with gnome-terminal => sawfish bug (WM_STATE)?
43 Allow command-line arguments for executation pinboard/panel icons.
45 Opening an AVFS directory with left-click should reuse the same window.
47 Allow subdirectories inside SendTo, shown as submenus.
49 Deleting / moving files should update the globicons?
51 Pinboard icons can only be dragged one at a time.
53 Remove icon should work with MIME stuff.
55 'Edit Item' doesn't make much sense for applets...
57 Option to mount on click, Shift+Click to open without mounting.
59 When following symlinks, don't convert to the 'real' path. Up should
60 go back to the directory containing the symlink.
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.
73 - Clear window before resizing
75 Don't beep for paths with a # in the leafname (for AVFS).
77 Path Entry minibuffer -- add a drop down list for bookmarks.
78 Way to reopen last closed directory. Also do this for Select If.
80 Shift-click on symlink should open the file. Add a 'Follow link' submenu.
82 Option to make menu-click over a file open the File submenu only?
84 Key bindings in the New File menu doesn't work (move to dialog box?).
86 All leafnames to be truncated, even when details are displayed.
88 Use an environment variable to override the platform-name guessing in
91 Provide a way to set the display style on a per-directory basis
92 (shell glob patterns?) Also remember window size?
94 Right-most icon in the last row should extend to the far right of the window,
95 even if it isn't in the last column.
97 Allow find expression with Permissions command...
102 Fully configurable toolbar?
106 Close Panel menu item?
108 Toolbar buttons for sort type?
110 Highlighting of icons as you drag a box around them, so it's clear what you
111 have caught in the box?
113 Allow the filer to go inside GNOME-panel and similar?
115 More permissions checking in Find? -RWX?
117 Enable (temporarily) single-click navigation when a special key (e.g. Alt)
120 In single click mode, beep when the user tries to double click?
122 Options to set where the toolbar appears?
124 Copying a relative symlink should make it absolute? Ask during the copy?
126 Recursive 'a-x' acts on the directory first and so can't then change the
127 permissions on the contents. chmod(1) has the same problem.
129 Option to disable open-file-and-close-window behaviour (sometimes happens
132 Items on the panel should be sensitive right up to the edge of the screen
133 (GTK bug prevents this currently - should be fixed by 1.2.11).
135 Remember last scroll position when returning to a directory?
140 Use a separate process to access the filesystem. Prevents hanging when you
141 try to access a dead filesystem.
143 Allow user to change permissions to another user on the fly, by entering a
144 password. 'su' requires a tty - do we need an SUID binary?
