THINGS TO DO
============
This is the internal list of items that need to be done.
-- 1.3.3 --
* Repackage code - packages are getting a bit large. The goal is to make class
structure/placement more logical.
GUI:
- Moved the SWT wizards into their own packages;
- Separated utility classes into the util package;
- Main application windows remain in swt package.
Storage:
- Moved OS formats into their respective packages in the "os" package
(dos33, prodos, cpm, rdos, pascal);
- Filters are now in the filters package.
- General storage classes remain under storage (Disk, FormattedDisk, etc).
* Added formatted assembly FileFilter. Understands Merlin format source files.
Need to recognize various formats - T.*, *.S, etc. Need examples for other
formats (Orca, APW, etc).
* File viewer window now scrolls an appropriate amount: PgUp/PgDn, arrows,
mousewheel all work (must select content area first of course).
--- FUTURE 1.3.x ---
o Create reusable show dialog messages (they're scattered all over right now) to clean
up code a bit.
o Refactor FileViewerWindow.
o BUG: Import of binary file does not set starting address.
o MISSING FEATURE: Unable to import a RAW binary image.
? Compile of BASIC programs
? Enhance the BASIC compiler with a few more commands...
o Create subdirectories as appropriate (ProDOS).
o Improve file preview for Integer BASIC files.
o Improve file preview for AppleWorks Word Processor files (make implementation
generic to a Word Processor).
o SWT image handlers do not appear to work correctly. BMP works - but color seems
off. GIF/PNG/JPEG give errors or a black image.
o It has been reported that Apple Pascal includes extra information at the beginning
and/or the end of a line - need to resolve this for the preview and export function.
o Resolve OS X issues where window cannot come to the foreground.
--- FUTURE 1.4.x (or later) ---
o Add RDOS writing capability.
o Add Apple Pascal writing capability.
o Add CP/M writing capability.
o Add drag-and-drop capability.
o Provide a Swing GUI so people are not "limited" to SWT. This may be tossed.
o Add more information to About box including GPL, TODO, VERSIONS, etc.
o Change disk format.
o Sector/Block editor.
o Open zip files; be able to browse disk images from the zip file. This should be
a different type of window (Archive Window?) that allows disk images to be
opened into a Disk Window. (Saves would have to be to the file system.)
o Open SHK files? Similar operation to zip files.
o Open SDK files? Opens directly into a Disk Window.
o Make formatted images bootable. May need user to supply a "master" disk from
which files or data is copied.
o Can AppleCommander read a CF card with ProDOS volumes on it? This is an IDE device
connected either via USB or a card reader. Requires some level of OS integration...
some form of raw disk access.
