BUGS / FIXES
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* BUG: change border type loses window icon
|
|
* BUG: right click on ibar - select "remove icon" from menu -> segv.
|
|
* BUG: adding app using "applications" dialog to a bar dir for example means
|
|
the target bar dir is emptied and only that app is put in.
|
|
* BUG: .desktop fils with %u/%u and other params are not filtered/handled
|
|
right (maybe put stripped exe as exe and a exe_params with all %'s there.)
|
|
* 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: the ibar specific menu only shows when you right click on icons (and not
|
|
on the bar itself). so, if there are no icons you can't get to the config.
|
|
ibox also has this problem..related to the o_empty object not resizing when
|
|
the module does.
|
|
* BUG: "match this window only" doesnt fall back to other unused remembers
|
|
* BUG: if app asks for borderless in properties - borderless toggle in menu
|
|
doesn't have any effect.
|
|
* BUG: xdaliclock -transparent doesnt use shaped border (not handling shape
|
|
change later)
|
|
* BUG: Hiding the label of e_widget_slider causes the slider line to disappear

ESSENTIAL FEATURES
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* nuke the current eap cache mechanism entirely
|
|
* transition config dialog needs preview.
|
|
* fm2 needs way to replace or extend the right click menu (disable/enable
|
|
rename/delete/refresh etc.)
|
|
* fm2 .desktop parser needs to handle i18n
|
|
* fm2 needs a mime filter
|
|
* fm2 needs to have a mime & filetype -> icon mapping
|
|
* eap editor is broken - segv in advanced mode
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* finish off icccm support
|
|
* finish complete netwm support
|
|
* add a "taskbar" module
|
|
* add cpu load module
|
|
* add setup/install wizard to seed eap files etc. etc.
|
|
* support color classes (gui config etc. etc.)
|
|
* finish clientinfo dialog for borders (netwm props etc. etc.)
|
|
* gui config dialogs for all config
|
|
* make it possible to disable border buttons/actions (tell theme what is
|
|
disabled)
|
|
* Dragging a non-eap 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
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* client list menu could do with work on ordering, using sepaators to demark
|
|
this desktop and other desktops, sorting by recently used, separate
|
|
section for iconified apps etc. etc - configurable.
|
|
* cleanup windows menu item needs action wrapper
|
|
* remove a lot of ipc commands that shoudl be done via the gui now
|
|
* remove config items marked for removal
|
|
* make default set of apps .desktop files in tarball
|
|
* add a installed icons dir with icons for the .desktop files
|
|
* about dialog can do with redesign
|
|
* bg gradient dialog needs a preview widget. also edje needs to be updated so
|
|
we can do proper fills for non 0 angles.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* keybindings dialog doesn't conform its formatting or datatype naming to
|
|
anything else in e17 - it needs fixing.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* default config for shelf is screwy and needs fixing - related to gadcon
|
|
layout algorithm though.
|
|
* ipc is a mess. overgrown. hard to work with. what to do? remove?
|
|
* EAP cache files can be hit and miss and have problems. move things to be
|
|
explicit reloads.
|
|
* 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 config needs a preview of the desktops and their bg's
|
|
* desktop flip animations need to allow control over accel/decel and
|
|
have a better ui - add wobble and controls etc. etc.
|
|
* logout sysaction needs to be implemented
|
|
* reboot, shutdown needs a progress dialog (as it does logout first) and
|
|
show status then a "shutting down/rebooting now" - maybe an abort too
|
|
with a countdown.
|
|
* suspend/hibernate needs a "suspending/hibernating" "progress" dialog
|
|
* suspend/hibernate/shutdown/reboot need to trap errors in exec and
|
|
report (and abort).

|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* full fm2 support as an icon fm needs work - beyond fsel needs and for icons
|
|
on the desktop etc. etc.
|
|
* winlist and exebuf can let the mouse select items
|
|
* up arrow in exebuf with empty buf goes into history mode and up/down let u

|
|
current one (optional too)

|
run gnome-settings-daemon).

|
|
* non opaque move/resize
|
|
* add "osd" subsystem for things like volume controls on keybboards, etc.
|
|
that overlay the screen
|
|

|
|

* pager should be able to be configured to control more than the current zone
|
|
(select which zone they control)
|
|
* add a dialog to allow selecting the default border from among those present
|
|
in the theme (e.g. winter provides a 'square' border). after a theme change
|
|
this should fall back to "default" if the selected one doesn't exist in the
|
|
new theme.
|
|
* icons for all config panel items
|
|
* icons for most mime types
|
|

OPTIMISATIONS
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* 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
|
|
* better app cache for .desktop files
|
|
* 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
