| orgin | [STICKY] Task list | 20090223 06:45 |  |
High priority
| | Things that need to be done before it can be released to Hyperion |
- Add Amber support
- Check file type command parsing bug where the parser stops after the first tag
Other tasks
| | Less important tasks that should be done but is not required for a first release |
- Implement rename (multiple files with pattern ala dopus)
| | Open requester for entering in and out patterns |
- Implement popup menu when right clicking entries
| | Information
Copy
Cut
Paste
Leave out
Protect
Edit comment
Add icon
Remove icon |
- Add user configurability to popup menus
- Investigate if xadmaster could be used to browse archives.
| | If possible then implement it |
- Create multiple string requester
| | Title
Array of String title+ string buffer
[Button] [Cancel] |
- Add user definable popup menu and main menu entries
- Make Copy/Move progress bar
| | - update only once every xx ms
- only open after xx seconds during a move/copy |
- Make it possible to open listers on separate screen.
- Make progress requester display overall progress using selected items as reference
- Per folder snapshot
- Add favorite path list
- Add AREXX port (But why? Each filer would have it's own port)
- Add new buttons for select all and clear selection
- Add marking of selected files sent to clipboard
- In the requester(s) about missing destination window, add 'open destination' button.
- Add ability to hide files from view using a pattern
- Add force option when trying to copy files that are read protected
- Move search result into normal view (New view mode)
- Add a mode where the user can select to which path an assign leads to
- Investigate what might cause FilerCX to stop getting click events when you press numeric enter in another application.| | After some investigation, the commodity never receives a message when enter is pressed, nor does it receive any other message after enter is pressed. So there's something happening in the commodity exchange outside of FilerCX that makes it stop delivering messages to the FilerCX commodity. Another commodity messing up? Bug in the commodity system? |
- Add 'advanced' keyboard select mode
- Remove loading of unused resources in prefs
- Add TAB completion to address field
- Add ringhio support for thumber
- Make select pattern work on root view
- A drawer drop on the root view should open that drawer in the filer
- Add a way to close all open listers (some kind of broadcasting message)
- Split "replace" into "replace" and "merge" where replace first deletes the destination.
- Add inline renaming
- Add dropdown menu for toggling thumbnails
- Add ability to set snapshot mode per drawer
- Add user defined Fx-keys
- Add project icon support
- Check if it's possible to reduce the number of error requesters that are shown when entering a non existent assign/volume name.
- Add a file/folder summary to the delete requester.
- Recheck if tooltips can be added to user buttons.
- Make "parent" position itself at the drawer it just left.
- Make sure that canceling operations only clears already processed items
- Make sure that skipping operations does not clear non processed items
Unlikely tasks
| | Things that does not seem possible to do with the current OS components |
- Set the background color of the non filled listbrowser area.
| | Not supported by the listbrowser class |
- Make the lister use the same colors as used by the workbench lister mode
| | The colors are stored in an undocumented binary IFF file that might change in a new OS versions which could make parsing it unreliable |
- Implement icon view mode that will display icons the same way the wb does but always name sorted
Finished tasks
DONE- Add device name to Name column in root view. Examples: "RAM Disk (Ram:)", "Storage (DH2:)"
