Platform:

|
Auto Save:
|
|
Every n seconds (where n is an Application Setting defined by user),
|
|
the platform should automatically save the current document in the
|
|
user's profile settings folder. Upon a successful exit of the
|
|
program, these temporary ocuments should be deleted. If there are any
|
|
documents in this folder the next time the application starts up,
|
|
prompt the user to either recover them or delete them. (An "Ask Me
|
|
Later" option would simply leave the documents in the folder and
|
|
flag them for no-deletion / prompt again upon application exit)
|
|
Batch Find / Replace:
|
|
I implemented this back in 2009 for my high school business class Inventory Management System, Starware IMS (source code has since disappeared).
|
|
The Universal Editor implementation should be an Editor-level API that returns search results in the form of an array of EditorSelection instances.
|
|
This way the platform can handle the heavy lifting of searching through the ObjectModel, and just pass in the array of EditorSelection to the Editor for it to highlight.
|
|
|
|
Syntax Editor:
|
|
CSS: MonoDevelop does not squiggle-highlight invalid CSS property names. This should be a feature.
|
|
|
|
Compression:
|
|
CompressionModule.FromKnownCompressionMethod should use reflection to determine the CompressionModule to create and return
|
|
|
|
FormattedText:
|
|
not all FormattedTextItems should contain text literals; move Text property to FormattedTextLiteral
|
|
|

|
Migrate UniversalEditor.ExpandedString to MBS.Framework
|
|
[#1] Determine whether to remove ProjectTypeVariable in favor of using existing functionality like CustomOptions
|
|
|
|
Platform:
|
|
* Rewrite Settings (Options, Preferences, etc...) to use UEXML definitions (which we have already)
|
|
* Newer versions of MSO use settings dialog eerily similar to GNOME3... perhaps a redesign is in order
|
|
* This MIGHT be better suited to UWT, which handles the current settings load/save, see MBS.Framework.UserInterface / SettingsProvider
|
|
* Finish implementing project/document template variables, project type variables, etc.
|
|
* Determine how to handle project task actions
|
|
* Each file in a project should have file-specific actions (BuildAction = Compile, Content, EmbeddedResource, etc.)
|
|
* Entire project should have project-specific actions? Or just use file-specific actions?
|
|
|
|
* Implement UE Packages (*.uepack) in Essential - READ DONE
|
|
* These are ZIP files that contain all the XML and compiled binary files for DataFormats, ObjectModels, etc.
|
|
|
|
* NOTE: Accessors cannot be made runtime-independent since they require interfacing directly with sources of data (e.g. FTP server, local file...); DataFormats and ObjectModels should be implemented in markup, but Accessors simply cannot be.
|
|
|
|
Editor:
|
|
* Provide PropertyGridSettings to communicate property changes using the UniversalEditor PropertyGrid control
|
|
|
|
FileSystemEditor:
|
|
* Prevent icon loader from running until DataFormat is finished loading
|
|
* Pressing F2 should initiate a "rename" operation (almost every respectable file browser already supports this)
|
|
* * Requires additional features in AwesomeControls ListView... specifically, BeginEdit() like WinForms ListView
|
|
|
|
FARCDataFormat:
|
|
* Fix saving (might actually work, see above note about FileSystemEditor and icon loader)
|
|
|
|
UniversalEditor Projects:
|
|
* "Live folders" - project folders are automatically populated with their physical folder contents when project is loaded
|
|
Select folder, set "Live folder" = "True" in Properties panel
|
|
|
|
Project file Tasks and TaskActions:
|
|
ExecutableTaskAction
|
|
- Run the given program with the given parameters
|
|
FileSystemTaskAction
|
|
- Combine multiple selected files into one
|
|
OutputObjectModel = FileSystemObjectModel
|
|
User specifies OutputFileName and OutputDataFormat
|
|
Support multiple TaskActions for a Task, i.e.
|
|
<Task Title="Compile">
|
|
<TaskActions>
|
|
<TaskAction TypeID="..." />
|
|
<TaskAction TypeID="..." />
|
|
</TaskActions>
|
|
</Task>
|
|
If any one of the TaskActions fails, the task is terminated.
|
|
|
|
Document Tabs:
|
|
* Dragging items over document tabs should cause the active tab to switch to the tab being dragged over. As of 2012, Visual Studio does not support this ;)
|
|
* This (dragging text from a text editor across tabs) appears to be fixed in VS2013, or the original post could be about a completely unrelated phenomenon
