Moving towards RC3
Gopherized » Devlog
After the second release candidate I compiled a list of things that I want to include in the third RC:
- I realized that, even if configuration files are loaded, some options are not set, like the buffer's size for example. So I have to fix this problem.
- In RC2 I introduced some text with a shadow effect to increase readibility. For example this effect is used in the page title and in the status bar, but user has the ability to switch it off to gain few CPU cycles or simply because he likes a more "plain" effect. I have to add this option to the configuraiton file.
- Search: I want to add "Search" to the program so the user is able to search in pages and in text files. Search next and search previous functions will be also added with their hotkeys.
- When the user add a bookmark there is no check if the address we are going to add is already in the bookmarks. I want to add a check and a dialog to alert the user if he is adding an already existing bookmark.
- I want to add an hotkey to reset all the configuration files to their initial states.
- The dialog used when you select a link that needs the user's input, I wrongly supposed that it is alsways needed to submit search strings in search engines (like for Veronica2), but that's not true. A gopher selector can ask you a string for anything, like for example, to sign a guestbook! I need only to change the dialog text and make it a more generic.
That's what I've in mind for this next update, but you are free to suggest anything you like and, if possible, I will add to the do-to list.
