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>Bigger initial window size or tweaked arrangement of panes? lower
17right pane is too small even at 1024x768 (for inter-station difference).
18I think the answer is to make the lower right pane a fixed height...
19
20<li>If I pull the vertical border to left or right edge of window, I
21lose a pane and don't appear to be able to get it back.  Perhaps "Restore
22panes" menu option if we can't allow the pane to be dragged open
23again...
24
25<li>Find and Hide buttons overlap slightly on wxGtk
26
27<li>Stretch-to-fit of Find and Hide buttons doesn't really make sense...
28
29<li>"Find station" should be case insensitive by default
30
31<li>Shift-ed keys should move faster (as they do in caverot)
32
33<li>Ctrl-Up/Down to tilt; Ctrl-Left/Right to rotate?
34
35<li>scale bar dragging is wrong - e.g. drag scalebar left then
36back to right - on drag right zoom is initially in the wrong direction!
37
38<li>repeated zoom with [ or ] stops on cave but keeps going on scalebar
39
40<li>still get wraparound lines on wxGtk: "random lines" when zooming in a lot on wxaven for GTK (xcaverot too)
41- fix by doing the clipping ourselves?
42
43<li>This gives "*** Singular!!!" warning with DEBUG_INVALID on:
44<pre>
451 2 50000 0 -
461 2 5 0 -30
47</pre>
48
49<li>possible mysterious problem with [ and ] not zooming to screen centre
50
51<li>suppress warning box if wxWindows doesn't have translations in requested
52language (doesn't appear to be possible)
53
54<li>Accents in menus were working but suddenly stopped - I think this
55happened when I upgraded debian and a new libgtk package got
56installed... [from Mark: libgtk1.2 1.2.10-1 exhibits these symptoms]
57[from Olly: installing "locales" package fixes this for me...]
58
59<li>Close button in About box not in correct place (on MS Windows)
60
61</ul>
62
63<H2>Aven</H2>
64
65<ul>
66
67<li>clino needs resistance around 0
68
69<li>finish reverse controls
70
71<li>by default put crosses on those points with no legs attached (unused
72fixed points)?
73
74<li>label junctions/dead ends?
75
76<li>colour by traverse
77
78<li>section colouring/selective labelling
79
80<li>clipping - want to select a clip sphere (or maybe cube) centred on
81centre on rotation I think.
82
83<li>colour by cave (and more generally by sub-prefix):
84"aven --survey 161 --colour-by-sub-prefix all.3d" would result in
85lhroute, rhroute, adrian, etc all getting different colours...
86
87<li>check on monochrome displays - especially that depth colouring
88looks OK
89
90<li>Redraw time should feed back to step size (so small caves on
91fast puters look sane, and so autorotate keeps an even speed when
92little can be seen for part of each rotation)
93
94</ul>
95
96<H2>Printing</H2>
97
98<ul>
99
100<li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
101
102</ul>
103
104<H2>Documentation</H2>
105
106<ul>
107
108<li>doc/manual.sgml has version number (0.99 currently) hardcoded.
109
110<li>Platform specific versions of docs?
111
112<li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ...
113
114<li>Move stuff about /etc/survex/print.ini from print.ini into manual
115and put pointer in print.ini instead.
116
117</ul>
118
119<H2>Survex file format</H2>
120
121<ul>
122
123<li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) -
124e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface,
125but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock).  You could
126just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface
127flag to produce points for a surface triangulation...
128
129<li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for)
130and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...?
131
132<li>comma separated dates in *date?
133
134<li>Allow "*exportall" or similar?  Leandro's point about "maze caves" -
135just saying "don't use *export" is unhelpful if someone connects a
136cave with *export to one without...
137
138<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
139
140</ul>
141
142<H2>Internationalisation</H2>
143
144<ul>
145
146<li>update translations
147
148<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
149
150<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
151suggests not in French.
152
153<li>extract --help messages for translation.
154
155<li>Check menu short-cuts don't clash in each translation...
156
157</ul>
158
159<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
160
161<ul>
162
163<li>chase up zombies again?
164
165<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
166
167<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
168
169<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
170identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
171
172<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
173stats.
174
175<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
176
177<li>tests for direction - should direction work in non-interleaved data?
178
179<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
180
181<li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
182bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
183to test this works]
184
185<li>Retire survex wrapper (no-survex-wrapper.patch) for version 1.0.
186
187<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
188left to right?
189
190<li>cylpolar with dz rather than depth?
191
192<!--survex should be on official debian servers soon
193 <li>survex apt source for survex and survex-aven...-->
194
195<li>ISO image?  structure debian packages on it as an apt source.
196autorun for MS Windows?
