merge with Qtopia 1.7 library if possible
Add show which performs window manager tasks. Places the window right and
and with the right size for big screens.
Icon Themes
Background picture displayed in different modes
Implement a launcher (and/or application class) which is able to auto-position and -resize a fixed number of concurrent application windows (e.g. 4 apps per screen)
Add width- and height-customizability for
* window titlebar
* window borders
* taskbar
Make all applications use more from libopie and see what is commonly used and create a common implementation if necessary.
Kill showMaximized and use QPEApplication function to show the widget. This allows
both X11 and BigScreen Qt/E to look and behave better on bigger screens
security considerations and flaw search
-Search for memcopies, printf, snprinft, strcat, and replace with their n functions
-Search for misuse and unguarded usage of system
-Kiosk mode?
Toolbuttons are too big and have too much spacing.
Write OSplitter.
OSplitter is a widget that adjusts itself to the screen size. On small handheld displays it's a OTabWidget and on bigger screen and on resize it will be a real QSplitter if available
or QHBoxLayout. Currently only horizontal mode is planed.
Primary use: AdvancedFm
class OWidgetStack.
depending on a setting in ODevice it will either be a normal QWidgetStack
and only one window will be shown.
Or in big screen mode instead of an embedded window a toplevel window will
be shown.
Primary use: Todolist View, Addressbook view, Datebook
classes OAction/OMenuBar/OToolBar if necessary
OAction is a normal QAction but has a priority of the item. Items often accessed
will have OAction::Always and the least used will have OAction::Seldom. Depending
on the size of QApplication::Desktop OMenuBar/ToolBar and Popup Menus will
be adjusted.
The goal is to have an automatically adjusting menubar. On a desktop Opie apps will
look like any other desktop app and on a pda we will take care of the space.
On big apps we can make a submenu a new top level menu and provide more toolbars
and on a small display we can if necessary group all menus into one.
Still need to figure out how to the Child relation best
Rewrite ODevice
Add a level inbetween ODevice public interface and implementation. ODevice is the only who will access ODevicePrivate and we will call into it. This way we can
add new 'virtual' functions without sacrifing BC and not using the ugly virtual hack
Database switch.
Rewrite Categories, AppLnk, DocLnk to use a database backend.
Create import and export application for PIM data
Allow easy exporting of all contacts to mobile phone using obex/obexftp
Implement a peer to peer backend locking and communication
and export a QSignal* to the user of the api to inform for update.
Communicate internal about QCOP on XML send record additionaly
QPE/PIM/xyz added(backend-name, uid, optional data )
QPE/PIM/xyz removed(backend-name, uid )
QPE/PIM/xyz modified(backend-name, uid, optional data )
X-Ref and selection widgets for Database
Connection between address book & calendar, so you can set a calendar
event location as an address book entry.
Datebook2 based on the ODatebookAccess
Evaluate the Qtopia PIM like painting and attributes in Records. better have the
attribute inside the access frontend
access()->property( uid, OTodo::Summary )
Faster drawing and loading. Common XML mmaped loading
Custom drawing and only if necessary
Allow multiple backends and split private/public into the backends. Have app for configuring it. WHat is private and what public. Allow moving records between the
backends
Opie Outliner based on the OTodoAccess backend
Notes API
better sync applications
more addressbook attributes
Latitude & longitude fields in addressbook entries. (Which could then be
displayed by GPS/Map programs).
Photos or Icons for address book entries (And calendar entries?).
- reworking personal settings: eg. mail, proxies and other personal settings
should go to the settings tab and access methods for them to libopie(2)
Move to tslib?
Implement Linux Input API devices for Linux2.6
Finish the port of Opie/X11 together with big screen extensions and evaluate the usage of d-bus
Create a Knoppix development CD
Create more example applications
Create a Office Suite with PocketPCs native format for opie-sheet and the new opie-write.
Opie presentation maybe a svg capable viewer?
New lightweight minikde with only defines so that no increase of the binary size occurs
port more apps
Ideas?
improving/consolidating the mail clients
consolidate Bluetooth apps allow more gui operations
Fix problems with events prior to 1. January 1970 aka negative unix time. Don't interpret it as -1
Modify layout, i.e. text in the time row is truncated w/ Verdana-12
Implement a Year view
Write a decent applet container which shows only "modified" applets (look e.g. at Windows here :)
Rework all applets to honor something like Taskbar::appletWidth and Taskbar::appletHeight
Scale icons
Use less ui spacing in the upper half of the screen
Add customization for terminal font
Make it less ugly
