TODO BEFORE GTK 1.0 ------------------- Bugs: * pasting into a GtkEntry that already has a very long string, causes the app to hang. * Vertical scrollbar: the expose event looks hosed and is causing quite a bit of flickering Actually this affects both scrollbar implementation, you can best tell if you run the application with --sync (timj) * signal parameters don't seem to get refreshed on recursive invokations of GTK_NO_RECURSE signals, which causes the restarted emissions to loose their actual point, i.e. parameter changes on the restarted emission, needs further investigation. * Widget redrawing when the window resizes sometimes messes up. GtkLabels sometimes redraw without clearing up the underlying background on window resizes. * Are there still some GtkCList changes outstanding? (Jay Painter) GtkCList is derived from GtkContainer but doesn't implement the need_resize, focus, add and remove methods from containers. it should at least issue a warning upon invokation of not supported member functions. * GtkTree and GtkList should express in their *_add implementations, that they expect GtkListItems/GtkTreeItems as children. Similar things might apply to other containers. * delay dnd settings to take effect once a widget is realized, this is to avoid force realizations. i think this goes along with owens dnd changes? -timj The way DND data types are set in GtkWidget really needs to be fixed. This is pretty high on my priority list, and I'll get to it as soon as the column list widget is done. The correct way dnd data needs to be set is to have a additional keyed data type with GtkWidget, which is applied to the widget's window upon realize. There also needs to be a way to set dnd-data on widget windows which are not the main window (for widgets that create more than one window). -Jay Painter DnD seems to work for me, but yes, there needs to be some sort of gtk_widget layer that makes it easier... Also, adding support for drop zones might be nice. -Elliot This one is reproducabel for me: testgtk --sync popup colorselection drag/drop works start up preview color drag works but not dropping end preview color drag/drop works start up prewiev color segfault in malloc -timj * Change bitfields to guints from enums for C++ ? * Force paned window handle to be kept on screen Additions: * widgets which are redrawn because of a gtk_widget_draw(,NULL) should be removed from the redraw queue. * GScanner: it might be good to ues stdio and getch() instead of 1-character reads. so one can take advantage of buffering. Currently each read() takes a separate syscall. * implement gtk_default_draw_oval * Lists should scroll to center the recently selected item if it isn't visible. * enforce invariants on *_RESIZE* and *_REDRAW* flags. * asure that child widgets are really get gtk_widget_destroy()ed in their parents destroy handler, and not just unparented or somesuch. * GtkToolTips: allocate GtkTooltipsData from memchunks look into incorporation of outdated/gtk-dairiki-971208-[01].patch.gz * Make widget attributes configurable after the widget is created (timj). * Change gtk_widget_propagate_default_style() mechanism to void gtk_rc_string_export (const gchar *rc_additions, gboolean override_rc_styles); TODO AFTER GTK 1.0 ------------------ * Make all widget attributes configurable after the widget is created (timj). * Seperate GtkObject and signaling system from Gdk dependancies? * move *_input_add (wrappers for select(2)) mechanism into glib. * Make sure a widget added to a list is a list item and a widget added to a menu is a menu item, etc. GTK_BASIC was a first attempt at this, but it fails with subsequent container_add()s. maybe have another GTK_PARENT_BASIC (similar to GTK_PARENT_SENSITIVE) flag, to prevent tree iterations upon every container addition. * gdk_expose_compress: ala-Xt, this would really help for opaque moves and such * Entry should have a password mode (and it should show stars for user feedback). * More dialogs: Print, GtkFontSelector, maybe others... * Multiple document interface (MDI)? * Support another widget style? Should be possible using GtkStyle's, but there may be some work needed to remove any style dependencies in widget code. Maybe GtkStyle's should have 'draw_push_button', 'draw_check_button', etc, functions to draw the various widgets. This will be covered by upcoming themability, raster is working on it. * make the gtk_main callbacks consistent in their add/remove behaviour. * More work on Documentation * Check return values on all calls to XIC[Get/Set]Values * Rewrite the interface to the i18n stuff so GTK widgets don't need to retrieve X values, and so they don't have to know the value of the XNxxx character constants. * The "-geometry" option should be supported - Having gdk_init() parse the geometry option. (putting it into GDK means you can use XParseGeometry() without wrapping it) - Add a call gdk_get_geometry() that retrieves the results in a form like that returned by XParseGeometry() - The application then can modify the results (as would gemvt) then call a routine gtk_window_set_geometry() on whatever it considers to be its main window. - Then in some manner GtkWindow takes that into account when setting its hints. (Probably it uses the size and position as the current uposition and usize, and modulates that be the equivalents of the X flags XValue, YValue, WidthValue, HeightValue, XNegative, or YNegative ( You'd have to extend gdk_window_set_hints to accept the window gravity option to get it right. ) * Text/Edit widget: (some of these might be bugs that should be fixed now) Bugs: - In Entry and Text widget, you can ungrab while still dragging by pressing button-1, pressing button 3, releaseing 3, then releasing 1. - When selecting on a Text or Entry widget, the selection isn't claimed until you release the button, and that shows by the color of the selection. (Which is the real problem - it probably is OK/better to delay claiming the selection) [fixed] - Related to the above, when you Shift/arrow to select text, the selected text doesn't show that you have the selection immediately. - Selecting an entire line with triple-click doesn't work right - it should select the wrapped portion too. - Selecting an entire line should probably select the newline as well, so when the selection is cut/deleted, the newline goes along. - Inserting text in a different property - problems? Shouldn't split the last position off in any case. - Do something about the bg pixmap situation. (It will produce garbage when editing is enabled) - "Copy" removes selection Improvements: - Finish making the key bindings consistent between the Entry and Text widgets - Unify the key binding support in some fashion between the two widgets (???) - When inserting or deleting large chunks of text, do a freeze/thaw automatically, to avoid scrolling around for ever on screen. - Jump scroll on large insertions/deletions - Prune the line start cache. But since it is only 68 bytes per line, and it is a lot faster when lines are in the cache, it may be better not to, at least for now. - Show the non-editable state by changing colors. (Use the style entries for insensitive?) - Multibyte support for the Text widget. - Unicode support to do the multi-byte right. - Support an .inputrc. (The readline one doesn't really work, unless it is extended because it can't represent X keysyms, just terminal type input) - A vi mode - Word wrap, instead of line folding. (Should the continuation characters be shown?) - Horizontal scrolling - Disable pasting compound text ? Allow moving the separator for paned widgets by dragging it directly instead of using the handle. ? Mark public use of gtk_tree_remove_item as deprecated - it should be used as: gtk_container_remove (GTK_CONTAINER(tree), widget); * Standardize that all strings should be passed as gchar *, not guchar *. But what about non-string data? (gdk_property_change, gtk_selection_data_set) X makes these sort of things guchar... * Check into XAddConnectionWatch - is this needed for XIM? * Places where a _full variant is needed: gtk_clist_set_row_data gtk_init_add gtk_menu_popup gtk_toolbar_prepend_element gtk_toolbar_insert_element gtk_widget_dnd_data_set (should be guchar * with a copy? shouldn't be there at all...) ???
