THINGS TO DO
============
This is the internal list of items that need to be done.
--- 1.3.2 ---
* Print file listing or full disk listing (including subdirectories or multiple
volumes).
* Added support for Super Hi-Res 3200 color format (PIC of 38400 bytes, file type
$C1 and auxiliary type $0002).
* Updated preferences to remember the following directory locations:
- Open
- Save/Save As (new)
- Import (new)
- Export
- Compile
* Added support for Finder Icons File ($CA or "ICN").
* Added CP/M disk image support.
* Restructured how AppleCommander manages disk ordering. This simplifies the
manner in which various disk ordering schemes are implemented, and makes it
possible to translate between ordering schemes.
* Support for nibble images (*.NIB) added. Can read and write to the images
as long as that format supports writing.
* To support nibble images, changed the structure surrounding the disk image
for a Disk. There now is an ImageOrder which manages the ordering of data on
the image and supplies low-level read and write routines (track/sector and
block). An ImageOrder holds data in an image layout - this allows the generic
byte array and 2IMG layouts to be abstracted away from an images order. This
does add interaction complexity but actually simplified the Disk class.
* Viewing or double-clicking on a directory will navigate into that directory.
* Viewing a deleted file no longer crashes AppleCommander - a warning message
is displayed.
* Updated Export Graphics wizard and export right-click options.
* Add the ability to change physical order too (DOS <=> ProDOS <=> Nibble)
on 140KB images.
* Add ability to compare disks - regardless of physical order.
* Started using Gimp for images (instead of Microsoft Photo Draw 2).
!!!! ROB:
o Add a View As menu pick and drop-down on toolbar. (ie, view as Text or binary)
--- FUTURE 1.3.x ---
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 Add formatted assembly FileFilter. Needs to understand multiple assembly programs.
Need to recognize various formats - T.*, *.S, etc. (Merlin, Orca, APW, etc).
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.
