MINI FREEZE:
|
|
|
|
Status: OFF
|
|
|
|
What is this:
|
|
|
|
We will have lots more of these during e17 devel for serveral reasons. A mini
|
|
freeze is a call to STOP adding new features and funkiness. It means people
|
|
need to stop and go BACK over their code and fix FIXME's. All those bits of
|
|
code where things are string together with sticky tape and chewing gum need
|
|
to be fixed PROPERLY. This may mean pooling code into a common subsystem
|
|
(this is not a new feature. it is fixing loose ends with design). This may
|
|
mean adding api calls to make implementation cleaner or remove hacks. it may
|
|
mean more debugging tools in things like e_object and more checks for sanity.
|
|
|
|
This means testing stuff so it doesnt crash. or make things unusable or leak
|
|
memory. check leaks (use valgrind or whatever tools) to check for leaks, and
|
|
for stability issues. double check you return the correct values from
|
|
functions or use return values. Check callbacks. Compile with -W -Wall to
|
|
help find obvious bugs waiting to happen. Modules need to clean up on
|
|
shutdown. Code needs to use the appropriate subsystem that is available for
|
|
what it wants OR a subsystem needs writing if it will be a shared/common
|
|
feature.
|
|
|
|
This issues list must be brought to 0 size before E17 features can move
|
|
further.

FIXME: group these TODO items into:
|
|
|
|
1. essential features
|
|
2. fixes
|
|
3. cleanups
|
|
4. optimisations
|
|
5. nice to have features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the things (in very short form) that need to be done to E17...
|
|
|
|
Also look at all the .c files - they have their own localized TODO lists
|
|
|
|
These are in no particular order:
|
|
|
|
* bug: when u send a window to another desktop and then restart - it goes
|
|
back to the desktop it was on before sending it (we dont update the
|
|
properties)
|
|
* bug: pager doesnt handle container/zone resize properly (and goes a weird
|
|
size)??? (try resize screen to like 480x640 (new aspect))
|
|
* window icons should be able to be chosen if e eapp icon overrides netwm
|
|
icon or the other way around.
|
|
* eapps need to provide title matching too as well as name and class
|
|
* .eapp needs to become .eap :)
|
|
* icons should be able to be overidden from the theme (eapp and menu stuff
|
|
etc.)
|
|
* transients should have option to always follow parent
|
|
(move/resize/raise/lower)
|
|
* netwm center on parent support
|
|
* setup configs for gnome and kde (as options) if they are installed (eg
|
|
run gnome-settings-daemon).
|
|
* sometimes the mouse gets locked to a window with a mouse grab of some sort
|
|
in x (it gets the down event and not the up?) so e thinks its down but it
|
|
isn't
|
|
* maximised apps when e restarts are not recognised as maximised
|
|
* maximised apps need their border to change (only titlebar for example)
|
|
* need an "expanded" mode for windows that maximises but NOT over modules and
|
|
you can still shade, resize etc.
|
|
* actions to make current zone different (warp mouse to there)
|
|
* actions to make the current container different
|
|
* could speedup dropshadow's gaussian blurr with mmx and sse by doign 2 or 4
|
|
rows at once
|
|
* make it easy for modules to hook into ipc and extend it for themselves
|
|
* check evas has eet support early on.
|
|
* add locale and encoding fields to eapp files (to launch eapp in that
|
|
locale+encoding)
|
|
* add input method selector stuff to eapp - same as locale
|
|
* gadman needs some changes to virtualise the canvas/container the gadget
|
|
ends up in (eg in popups or border)
|
|
* titlebar/border expansion/gadget panel for modules to put window widgets in
|
|
* add actions to flip desktops on a given zone and/or container only
|
|
* pagers should be able to be configured to control more than the current zone
|
|
(select which zone they control)
|
|
* re-implement all ipc to go via e_ipc_handlers.h and e_ipc_codec.[ch]
|
|
* start module needs to have a way to alert users to "click here" and back
|
|
off alerting users as they learn what it is (over time)
|
|
* sometimes windows that get shut down/closed get unparented but the whole
|
|
border stays around - something is keeping extra references maybe? it is
|
|
hidden, until you flip desktops then it appears again - but with no client
|
|
around. currently they have a dangling reference - need to find out WHO
|
|
added that ref and didnt remove it (i haven't seen this for ages now)
|
|
* fix action delete (can segv if action is stored for "long runing actions"
|
|
like move/resize)
|
|
* break out desks x/y size config so you can have a different desktop size
|
|
per zone - right now there is a signle global (use this later as the default
|
|
for new/unconfigured zones)
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* perhaps we should split focus and "selected" windows. selected window is
|
|
what ocused is now and focus is something only affectinbg keyboard input. if
|
|
the focus window becoems another managed window it becoems the selected
|
|
window - otherwise click to focus or pointer focus will chose the selected
|
|
window that may get the focus if it allows it...
|
|
* check window max size. if < size of zone (or maximisation area) disallow
|
|
maximising and tell border edje object (via signals) to somehow disable the
|
|
maximise buttons :) (and remove from the menu) or center client in frame or
|
|
something else to not exceed max size for window
|
|
* bug: if you have 2 zones and you fill up zone 2 (right) mostly and then run
|
|
a big xev (xev -g 1280x1024) that wont fit it gets placed offscreen to the
|
|
right of zone 2
|
|
* gadman gadget menu needs icons :)
|
|
* module api needs to move label and icon to data file (.eapp file?), not api
|
|
* gadman edit mode for simple gadgets activate with a button bind (eg
|
|
alt+click on module like windows) or a pure key binding
|
|
* make e17 re-locatable (ie use e_prefix.c stuff instead of #defined paths)
|
|
* gadget containers (shelves?) using popups as well as in-line in a canvas
|
|
* add key input focus control for desktop modules
|
|
* finish off icccm support
|
|
* optimize clock theme (speed/cpu) (rotation in edje??? or evas???)
|
|
* finish complete netwm support
|
|
* make the cursors an edje buffer canvas for changinig cursor depending on
|
|

|
|
* add a way to access "all" apps app dir
|
|
* non opaque move/resize

|
* ibar need to support label pop-ups
|
|
* ibar should support subdirs with pop-up icons...
|
|
* ibar need to handle drop from other places (xdnd, drop from window etc.)
|
|
* ibar lamp needs short timer on mouse out for hide before hiding (and del
|
|
the time on mouse in)
|
|
* ibar needs lamp follower to be optional in ibar config (for the user)
|
|
* borders need to be able to change border theme on the fly by mene or app
|
|
properties
|
|
* add window glueing
|
|
* add window tabs (multiple clients in 1 border)
|
|
* add setup/install wizard to seed eapp files etc. etc.
|
|
* make ipc try open on other ports numbers if current is taken
|
|
* make ipc try re-open if connection dies
|
|
* add clientinfo pane/popdown for borders
|
|
* add a button area expansion for borders ???
|
|
* add template button for expanded buttons ???
|
|
* support text and color classes
|
|
* add tooltips
|
|
* add fullscreen support (e16 xvidmode or xrandr style)
|
|

|
|
* init splash needs te be able to be signalled "end of init" and it can
|
|
respond with a "splash end" signal
|
|
* "immortal" windows (e will not allow that window to be closed or will
|
|
refuse to exit as long as the immortal flags is set until it is unset to
|
|
stop users from doing silly things like logging out while important stuff
|
|
is happening in that window -a menu option for this woudl be nice)
|
|
* need to be able to remember client positons/etc.
|
|
* with remember need to be able lock in attributes so the app (or user or both)
|
|
cannot change them (eg this window is a fixed size and location - app cannot
|
|
ask for a new size or location)
|
|
* file icons on the desktop (people ask for it) - xdnd for these
|
|
* gui config tools for bg's, keybindings, etc. etc. etc.
|
|
* "control panel" app to launch the gui config tools
|
|
* dnd from pager to other pagers/ to desktop/ibox etc.
|
|
* make it possible to disable border buttons/actions (tell theme what is

|
disabled)
|
|
* modules need config executables with proper widgets (sliders, check boxes,
|
|
radio etc. not massive menus)
|
|
* remove module config menus (make them part of the module control panel and
|
|
as separate executables)
|
|
* tip/hint/suggestion dialog app (textblock etc.)
