BUGS / FIXES
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* BUG: if maximize policy == fullscreen then weird things happen on
|
|
maximize and unmaximize with gvim (probably gvim tries to resize itself
|
|
on maximize and it screws e's account keeping) but on unmax it ends up
|
|
just moving a bit, not going down in size.
|
|
* BUG: smart placement seems to screw up if a shelf is at the top of the screen
|
|
* BUG: e17 screen res diaolg doesnt work under xephyr - why?
|
|
* BUG: "match this window only" doesnt fall back to other unused remembers
|
|
* BUG: xdaliclock -transparent doesnt use shaped border (not handling shape
|
|
change later)

|
|
* fm2 needs a mime filter
|
|
* middle mouse on gadgets as a quick move/resize thing?
|
|
* language packs: need to have a tool to load/setup a language pack (which
|
|
means .mo compiled files from a .po, an optional font and a config file that
|
|
specifies the locale and font) and then install the font(s) either as a user
|
|
or superuser, and the .mo in the system or a user locales dir.

|
|
disabled)
|
|
* Dragging a non-desktop icon from a border to the ibar should automatically
|

create the icon and add that (instead of warning the user that this can't be
|
|
done)

CLEANUPS
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* menus need to be able to limit max width (especialyl windows and lost
|
|
windows menus) optionally.
|
|
* app menus should prune out menu submenus if the submenus only contain menus
|
|
and no actual app desktop files (just a menus tree and nothing useful)
|
|
* client list menu could do with work on ordering, using separators to demark
|
|
this desktop and other desktops, sorting by recently used, separate
|
|
section for iconified apps etc. etc - configurable.
|
|
* remove a lot of ipc commands that should be done via the gui now
|
|
* remove config items marked for removal
|
|
* about dialog can do with redesign
|
|
* clientinfo dialog could be nicer - then again it is an obsucre thing.
|
|
* desklock's pam profile should be configurable as system-auth doesn't
|
|
always work and the fallback checks might not work either.
|
|
* If a user has set a border type on a window, don't bother to check for
|
|
changes.
|
|
* need to audit, namespace and expand text and color classes
|
|
* need to specify what is NEEDED from a theme, what is optional (in terms of
|
|
parts, groups and signals). etc.
|
|
* winlist should support place for window "screenshot" in list as well as
|
|
app icon
|
|
* winlist could divide windows up into blocks - sub-lists within a container
|
|
per desktop (with stick windows considered to live on the "current" desk
|
|
when winlist starts)
|
|
* make it easy for modules to hook into ipc and extend it for themselves
|
|
* e_color_dialog needs to have an area for favorite and recently selected
|
|
colors. store in config and use ilist? or store as color files and use
|
|
e_fm2? or custom widget?
|
|
* virtualize e_bg to be able to put a bg in any canvas (given any desktop
|
|
config input) and return an object.
|
|
* virtual desktops preview should allow clicking on a desk to access the
|
|
"wallpaper" dialog. should default to only changing the clicked desktop
|
|
* desktop flip animations need to allow control over accel/decel and
|
|
have a better ui - add wobble and controls etc. etc.
|
|
* internal windows (config dialogs, etc) should re-open after a restart

"NICE TO HAVE" FEATURES
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* nice to have a menu item for a window for "add keyboard shortcut to run this
|
|
app" would be nice usability
|
|
* full fm2 support as an icon fm needs work - beyond fsel needs and for icons
|
|
on the desktop etc. etc.
|
|
* switch to desktop of a new window if it opens on another desktop than the
|
|
current one (optional too)
|
|
* emit signal to submenu entries if they have a submenu shown for them or not
|
|
* setup configs for gnome and kde (as options) if they are installed (eg
|
|
run gnome-settings-daemon).
|
|
* check evas engine can work on a given screen before using it
|
|
* add non-opaque move/resize (use shaped windows with canvases etc.)
|
|
* add "osd" subsystem for things like volume controls on keybboards, etc.
|
|
that overlay the screen
|
|
* file icons on the desktop (people ask for it) - xdnd for these
|
|
* pager should be able to be configured to control more than the current zone
|
|
(select which zone they control)
|
|
* icons for all config panel items
|
|

OPTIMISATIONS
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* add evas pre/post render callbacks per evas canvas and callbacks per object
|
|
for pre/post render too
|
|
* optimize clock theme (speed/cpu) (rotation in edje??? or evas???)
|
|
* evas could detect an image is scaled multiple times and keep a scaled copy
|
|
that it could share in cache, and then punt the original back to cache.
|
|
* evas could support 8bbp alpha only images for dropshadow
|
|
* on disk app cache for .desktop files, icons and paths
|
|
* new fm code's file scanning isn't insanely fast - icon size calcs etc. speed
|
|
up for special cases like list view?
|
|
* new fm code re-lays-out a dir every time the queue is processed - maybe try
|
|
to speed this up
