Plans

Tasks

Insensitive on focus fix

need a dispatcher that checks focus for all actions defined in pageview

Printing support - bug #206168

Needs code to render text + images on cairo context

Tests - expand test coverage !
GUI improvements
Template
Export
Caching

-------

recursive checkboxes do not work when inserting / deleting a checkbox

move this code from TextView to TextBuffer

Per notebook Language setting for Spell plugin
add advanced tools menu for Bazaar
attach image should directly insert image instead of link - implement in attach action, not in InsertLink

BUG: in undo links can be broken - see escaped test case in test 70
BUG: links that point to the same target should be merged if they touch each other - prevents "broken" link text - see above item
BUG: spaces in repository names conflict with interwiki link syntax

Update messages

"Checkbox 'V'" => "Checkbox 'OK'"
"Checkbox 'X'" => "Checkbox 'NOK'"
"Document Folder" => "Attachments Folder"
"Document Root" => "Document Folder"
"Media" => "Documents" in export + commandline option
grep -i "dir" => "folder"
grep -i "file" => "document"

For managing lists need to convert tabs to indent levels.

need to look into mediawikifs + mediawiki syntax in zim

where do attachments go ?

if deleting a page also deletes parent dirs, they still are listedin the side pane

Gjots resolve_case

load and cache index tree for --man ?

import TomBoy
import Gjots
import HTML

allow import as single page or split X level of heading into separate pages

Have option to show completed tasks in TODOList plugin
Have a "TODO" header also trigger TODOList indexing

Fix hack for date template in Store

fix date template for month / year pages

Fix hack for date namespace in InsertDate dialog

Website needs:

embed some html to set e.g. alignment
need to be able to set links on images

move sub-tree

move update logic from GUI.pm to ZIm.pm
move_pages("page:*" => new_name)
use same glob in update links
make moving subtree default in GUI
hook moving subtree in side pane as well - need confirmation ???

signals in GUI for page_renamed and page_deleted belong in Zim.pm

update history on on these events (and update pathbar)

Accept image data from clipboard - attach as image
How about a "copy as.." menuitem for mediawiki, dokuwiki etc. - only export is needed

Refactor Utils

see if we can hide url encoding logic in Zim::FS::URI object
set default class for files in dir, not in store !
automatic DOS to Unix line-ending conversion in IO object ?
maybe store tmp files under NOTEBOOK/.zim/tmp - gives us better control

For drag 'n drop and InsertImage should give choice between link / copy / move

setting in prefs for copy / move / link / ask
For InsertImage put a radio box in the file browse dialog ?

Dialog to import notes from tomboy, see tzim.py for example code

Maybe also add Newton import ?
Ans also plain text and strip html ?
Import from gjots - but also support read/write gjots (?)

Icons

Check the Freedesktop spec - provide 48x48, 64x64 and svg
Install stock using xdg-icon-resource ?
Draw new icon for application/x-zim-notebook ?

More keybindings to control email-style quoting. E.g.:

"> ..."  TAB  ">> ..."
">> ..." SHIFT-TAB "> ..."

Module for tar.gz access should consider zip file a read-only dir

probably cache file index
completely transparent file access for other modules

Make undo grouping letters into words (see sourceview code for example)
Make it possible to use more characters in page names, use url encoding
Format that calls external python script for ReST support - see mail liraz
Have a look at explicit ordering in the side pane

Add support for hierarchical trees of tasks to TODOList

Plugins

Gnuplot plugin - similar to latex equation plugin and proposed graphviz plugin
Plugin that can dowload internet pages and images

use external (wget) program or libwww ?
hook on drag n drop / insert link signals
either only download and insert images or also cache complete pages

Refactor PageView

move FindReplaceDialog to namespace below PageView

We can shell out much more dialogs from PageView to their own module files.
Use bare minimal POD

how bout moving stuff from PageView to HyperTextEditor ?

Refactor Parse Tree

DOM class to handle the parse tree
formats are input / output layers for this object like Zim::DOM::Wiki
special class Zim::DOM::GtkTextView to input/ouput to GUI
formats need to be chainable, e.g. a converter to html layered trough the html input module

Release Gtk2::Ex::* modules to CPAN

grep for "zim" to make sure all apis are fixed
