10<H2>Bugs</H2>
11
12<ul>
13<li>printdm - put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj (prod Mark
14to get numbers)
15
16<li>If I pull the vertical border to left or right edge of window, I
17lose a pane and don't appear to be able to get it back.  Perhaps "Restore
18panes" menu option if we can't allow the pane to be dragged open
19again...
20
21<li>"Find station" should be case insensitive by default
22
23<li>Shift-ed keys should move faster (as they do in caverot)
24
25<li>Ctrl-Up/Down to tilt; Ctrl-Left/Right to rotate?
26
27<li>scale bar dragging is wrong - e.g. drag scalebar left then
28back to right - on drag right zoom is initially in the wrong direction!
29
30<li>This gives "*** Singular!!!" warning with DEBUG_INVALID on:
31<pre>
321 2 50000 0 -
331 2 5 0 -30
34</pre>
35
36<li>possible mysterious problem with [ and ] not zooming to screen centre
37
38<li>suppress warning box if wxWindows doesn't have translations in requested
39language (doesn't appear to be possible)
40
41<li>Accents in menus were working but suddenly stopped - I think this
42happened when I upgraded debian and a new libgtk package got
43installed... [from Mark: libgtk1.2 1.2.10-1 exhibits these symptoms]
44[from Olly: installing "locales" package fixes this for me...]
45
46<li>Close button in About box not in correct place (on MS Windows)
47
48</ul>
49
50<H2>Aven</H2>
51
52<ul>
53
54<li>clino needs resistance around 0
55
56<li>finish reverse controls
57
58<li>by default put crosses on those points with no legs attached (unused
59fixed points)?
60
61<li>label junctions/dead ends?
62
63<li>colour by traverse
64
65<li>section colouring/selective labelling
66
67<li>clipping - want to select a clip sphere (or maybe cube) centred on
68centre on rotation I think.
69
70<li>colour by cave (and more generally by sub-prefix):
71"aven --survey 161 --colour-by-sub-prefix all.3d" would result in
72lhroute, rhroute, adrian, etc all getting different colours...
73
74<li>check on monochrome displays - especially that depth colouring
75looks OK
76
77<li>Redraw time should feed back to step size (so small caves on
78fast puters look sane, and so autorotate keeps an even speed when
79little can be seen for part of each rotation)
80
81</ul>
82
83<H2>Printing</H2>
84
85<ul>
86
87<li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
88
89</ul>
90
91<H2>Documentation</H2>
92
93<ul>
94
95<li>doc/manual.sgml has version number (0.99 currently) hardcoded.
96
97<li>Platform specific versions of docs?
98
99<li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ...
100
101<li>Move stuff about /etc/survex/print.ini from print.ini into manual
102and put pointer in print.ini instead.
103
104</ul>
105
106<H2>Survex file format</H2>
107
108<ul>
109
110<li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) -
111e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface,
112but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock).  You could
113just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface
114flag to produce points for a surface triangulation...
115
116<li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for)
117and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...?
118
119<li>comma separated dates in *date?
120
121<li>Allow "*exportall" or similar?  Leandro's point about "maze caves" -
122just saying "don't use *export" is unhelpful if someone connects a
123cave with *export to one without...
124
125<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
126
127</ul>
128
129<H2>Internationalisation</H2>
130
131<ul>
132
133<li>update translations
134
135<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
136
137<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
138suggests not in French.
139
140<li>extract --help messages for translation.
141
142<li>Check menu short-cuts don't clash in each translation...
143
144</ul>
145
146<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
147
148<ul>
149
150<li>chase up zombies again?
151
152<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
153
154<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
155
156<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
157identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
158
159<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
160stats.
161
162<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
163
164<li>tests for direction - should direction work in non-interleaved data?
165
166<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
167
168<li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
169bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
170to test this works]
171
172<li>Retire survex wrapper (no-survex-wrapper.patch) for version 1.0.
173
174<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
175left to right?
176
177<li>cylpolar with dz rather than depth?
178
179<!--survex should be on official debian servers soon
180 <li>survex apt source for survex and survex-aven...-->
181
182<li>ISO image?  structure debian packages on it as an apt source.
183autorun for MS Windows?
