fped/TODO
werner 605bd52dc9 Finished deletion. Assorted bug fixes.
- columns can now be deleted/undeleted
- reset active row if deleting that row
- grammar now accepts an empty file
- when a non-canvas entry becomes editable, we set the focus to it
- when adding the first reference to a frame, make it active
- when deleting the active reference to a frame, set the pointer to NULL
- measurements didn't have a drag_new action, causing trying to create them to
  crash fped
- offset field of measurements was incorrectly labeled "width"
- fixed operator precedence in gridify. Someone needs more sleep :-(

2.5 KiB
Plaintext

Missing features:
- populate input area (still needed: mm/mil, rezoom)
- add default unit (combine with grid unit selection ?)
- consider adding auto/mm/mil selection for each dimension
- add measurements (partly done. still needed: find out how to define
non-trivial endpoints, e.g., some vector in last iteration of loop)
- add KiCad output
- add postscript output
- add option to include/omit helper vecs and frames (display and postscript)
- reorder frames (can use text editor)
- reorder rows in a table (can use text editor)
- reorder columns in a table
- reorder variables in a frame (can use text editor)
Error detection:
- eliminate duplicate instances
Style:
- make column of entry field greedily consume all unallocated space
- status area looks awful
- add button with GTK_STOCK_UNDELETE for "undelete" to menu bar
- edit names/values/etc. in place if possible
Bugs:
- default silk width has no business being hard-coded in obj.c
- undelete only works if not much has changed since the deletion
- re-center while dragging confuses the save-under mechanism
Code cleanup:
- merge edit_unique with edit_name
- merge find_var_in_frame with similar mechanisms in expr.c and fpd.y
- add regression tests
Open decisions:
- Q: should loop be (start, last) or (start, iterations) ? or start ... last ?
- change vector circle color ? (also, highlight on hover ?)
- Q: allow reassignment of vector names ?
A1: no: would cause confusion in GUI (vectors could become orphaned)
A2: yes. but we don't change the linkage.
- Q: how do we handle stacks of objects ?
A: we don't but we make it easy to avoid them, by giving a good zoom,
flexible selection, and by disallowing stacks of identical objects in the
first place.
- Q: add frame arguments ? (e.g., .frame pad(pin_num_offset) ...)
we can already approximate this by introducing an intermediate table that
sets up the arguments (provided that we don't consider vectors as well)
- Q: should we make it a requirement to generate objects only once ?
A: almost certainly yes.
Future directions:
- future: consider using cairo instead of gdk
- live update of value when entering strings and expressions ?
- advanced: non-standard solder mask
- advanced: solder paste exceptions (subtractive, additive)
- advanced: silk line width
- future: when encountering an error after a change, we could try to find the
same element in the old instance, and select it
- future: consider editing off-canvas items in place
- near future: treat part name as pattern
