|

Ok you asked for it...
|
||||
|
||||
General Comments
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
- needs documentation, context help, etc. Is anyone writing this?
|
||||
|
||||
- icon view would be nice, I realize its in the works
|
||||
|
||||
- the panel scrollbar is wierd - if you middle mouse click somewhere the
|
||||
thumb moves there, but if you then move the mouse (while holding
|
||||
middle button down) up and down, the thumb doesn't follow the mouse.
|
||||
However, if you middle click and drag on the thumb, it does follow.
|
||||
I think the thumb should follow in both cases. This is a gtk comment
|
||||
I'm sure.
|
||||
|
||||
- some dialogs only had a single entry box (like the ftp link one),
|
||||
when you hit return in the entrybox it would be nice if that mapped
|
||||
to hitting 'Ok' so you wouldnt have to hit Ok manually.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Panel comments
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
- The list headers dont seem to resize nicely - if I run gmc and try to
|
||||
shrink the 'Name' column, it won't accept the new size and returns to
|
||||
the original size. If I resize the gmc window, then it seems to
|
||||
start working SOMETIMES. Sorry I can't come up with a better failure
|
||||
mode - just run gmc and see if you can resize the 'Name' column.
|
||||
|
||||
- when the name column does resize, and its so small it clips the
|
||||
longer names, there should probably be an indication that the filename
|
||||
has been truncated. I think win95 puts a '...' at the end to let you
|
||||
know the string is truncated in that column. I think its a really nice
|
||||
touch, but not a complete show stopper.
|
||||
|
||||
- I take it the shaped-window DnD isnt working, obviously we want to have
|
||||
nice looking drag cursor behavior at some point.
|
||||
|
||||
- The panel refreshes VERY quickly, nice job!
|
||||
|
||||
- the user needs some feedback that something is happening - for example,
|
||||
on an ftp link, the cursor needs to change or a modal dialog popping
|
||||
up saying 'getting directory listing...' or something.
|
||||
|
||||
- 'Compare panels' doesnt appear to do anything - i didnt see any feedback
|
||||
after I chose the compare method.
|
||||
|
||||
- No matter what the sort mode, the directories seem to always get listed
|
||||
first. Maybe this should be personal preference?
|
||||
|
||||
- Alt-t didnt seem to change the listing mode.
|
||||
|
||||
- the pull-downs on the entry boxes under the floating menubar dont
|
||||
seem to do anything. I thought they might act as a history of the
|
||||
last few directories visited or something.
|
||||
|
||||
- the 'Filter' pulldown is handy - this is all user configurable, right?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- a toobar with a 'back' type button would be handy - I realize the '..'
|
||||
folder does the same thing, but in a long file listing its nice to
|
||||
just have a button to do it.
|
||||
|
||||
- I got several 'sigpipes' when trying to view a ftpfs file, or
|
||||
when trying to view RPM tags via the rpmfs.
|
||||
|
||||
Open a RPM, then got into the INFO pseudo-dir, the VIEW a RPM tag. It
|
||||
will sigpipe.
|
||||
|
||||
- is there a way to click and drag and select all the files you drag
|
||||
over? Sortof a interactive 'select group' option.
|
||||
|
||||
- the internal viewer, in hex mode, seems to shove the ASCII side of the
|
||||
view (the rightmost column) off the side of the window.
|
||||
|
||||
- internal viewer - search didnt seem to work in hex mode
|
||||
|
||||
- internal viewer - search should hilight the matching text
|
||||
|
||||
- some files when I try to 'Open' them, it just does nothing. I'm
|
||||
guessing no association existed - if so it should tell me and let
|
||||
me create an association
|
||||
|
||||
- I couldnt view files inside of a RPM which I was browsing via the ftpfs
|
||||
is this just cause I'm nuts to try?
|
||||
|
||||
- I couldnt get the drag from one panel to another to work reliably -
|
||||
I would drag and get a 'Copy Link Move' window, but I couldn't
|
||||
select any of the 3 choices and the drag just failed. No errors, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
During the drag, when I left the first panel and hit the root window,
|
||||
I got these errors:
|
||||
|
||||
** WARNING **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1237 (gtk_widget_show): "widget != NULL"
|
||||
|
||||
** WARNING **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1237 (gtk_widget_show): "widget != NULL"
|
||||
|
||||
When the drag entered the other window, I got a 'Setting current panel to...'
|
||||
|
||||
- it might be good to do a rescan after a panel accepts a drag event. Is
|
||||
that an option?
|
||||
|
||||
- I like the different colors for the different file types in the listing.
|
||||
|
||||
- I didnt get an error message when I tried to change the file modes
|
||||
on a file I didnt own.
|
||||
|
||||
- double clicking on a file object seemed to try to push an artificial drag
|
||||
sometimes, I thought it would try to open it or something.
|
||||
|
||||
- when selecting 'Copy' from the right click menu, it would be nice to
|
||||
have a browsable tree to select the destination from.
|
||||
|
||||
- i couldnt seem to drag things onto the root window
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Configure Options
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Buttons at bottom (Ok, Save, Cancel) - Save overlays the Ok button
|
||||
|
||||
- the 'Pause after run' radio buttons - you can select 'on dumb Terminals'
|
||||
and Never at the same time, etc etc. I only one should be selectable
|
||||
at a time. I could get several combinations where multiple were selected.
|
||||
|
||||
- no matter if I hit 'Ok' or 'Save', if I immediately reenter the Options
|
||||
dialog, the check buttons are all reset, ie. it didnt 'keep' my settings.
|
||||
|
||||
- need some sort of help for all these options, they aren't too intuitive.
|
||||
We can't assume people are going to read the man page.
|
||||
|
||||
- 'Find File' dialog - the Tree button needs a pixmap
|
||||
|
||||
Also, during a find, the dialog violently resizes as it lists the
|
||||
directories it is searching through. Seems like the label showing
|
||||
the currently searched dir needs to be a separate container or something.
|
||||
It looks like its in the first column of the table of buttons below it.
|
||||
|
||||
VFS Options
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
- Passive ftp option?
|
||||
|
||||
- it was nice to get feedback when grabbing a file via ftp - this sort
|
||||
of feedback while grabbing a ls listing from a ftp server would be
|
||||
cool.
|
||||
|
||||
Internal Viewer
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
- no vertical scrollbar!
