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.
|
|
|
|
DONE - some dialogs only had a single entry box (like the ftp link one),
|
|
DONE when you hit return in the entrybox it would be nice if that mapped
|
|
DONE 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.
|
|
|
|
=========> This works on my machine. When you start a drag from a file,
|
|
=========> or a group of files it should show a little icon. Same applies
|
|
=========> to dragging the desktop icons.
|
|
|
|
- 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?
|
|
======> this is a setting. It is called mix files. If it is set, then you
|
|
======> get a mixed directory/file listing, if not, you get the directories first.
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
DONE - a toobar with a 'back' type button would be handy - I realize the '..'
|
|
DONE folder does the same thing, but in a long file listing its nice to
|
|
DONE just have a button to do it.
|
|
|
|
DONE - I got several 'sigpipes' when trying to view a ftpfs file, or
|
|
DONE when trying to view RPM tags via the rpmfs.
|
|
DONE
|
|
DONE Open a RPM, then got into the INFO pseudo-dir, the VIEW a RPM tag. It
|
|
DONE will sigpipe.
|
|
|
|
DONE - is there a way to click and drag and select all the files you drag
|
|
DONE 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
|
|
|
|
DONE - some files when I try to 'Open' them, it just does nothing. I'm
|
|
DONE guessing no association existed - if so it should tell me and let
|
|
DONE me create an association
|
|
|
|
DONE - I couldnt view files inside of a RPM which I was browsing via the ftpfs
|
|
DONE is this just cause I'm nuts to try?
|
|
|
|
DONE - it might be good to do a rescan after a panel accepts a drag event. Is
|
|
DONE that an option?
|
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
DONE - Buttons at bottom (Ok, Save, Cancel) - Save overlays the Ok button
|
|
|
|
DONE - the 'Pause after run' radio buttons - you can select 'on dumb Terminals'
|
|
DONE and Never at the same time, etc etc. I only one should be selectable
|
|
DONE at a time. I could get several combinations where multiple were selected.
|
|
|
|
DONE - no matter if I hit 'Ok' or 'Save', if I immediately reenter the Options
|
|
DONE 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
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
DONE - no vertical scrollbar!
|
|
