1- DRINGEND: stackview updated nicht mehr attr-editor 1
2Raphaels detailed suggestions:
3
4- Translate the TODO from German to English :-)
5
6- Do not require setting CROSSFIRE_LIBDIR on the first run. If the LIBDIR
7 cannot be found on the first run, the program does not start so it is
8 not possible to use the Preferences dialog to set the LIBDIR. I have seen
9 that this minor initial problem prevents some people from using the editor,
10 so it would be very nice to avoid this initial bad feeling. Proposal for
11 fixing it: when gce starts (either in the main code or in the BEGIN
12 block), try the following directories in order:
13 $CFG->{LIBDIR}
14 $ENV{CROSSFIRE_LIBDIR}
15 "$PREFIX/share/crossfire" ($PREFIX passed by Makefile)
16 "/usr/share/crossfire"
17 "/usr/share/games/crossfire"
18 "/usr/local/share/crossfire"
19 If all of these fail, then open a dialog that asks for LIBDIR (this
20 could be the Preferences or just a one-line entry field).
21 (Note: I had written a patch for that, but I lost it).
22
23- Name it gcrossedit, not gce. This is a bit longer to type, but less
24 confusing, especially when installed in a path that contains many other
25 commands with short names. This would also match the CVS module name.
26
27- Merge the stack view and the attributes editor window. It is very
28 annoying to have two separate windows that have a different idea of what
29 is the "current" object. The merged view (in the attr editor window)
30 should show the current stack of items, with the active one highlighted.
31 If this item has a non-empty inventory, its contents should be indented
32 in order to differentiate them from other items in the stack. Objects
33 inside a container that is inside another container should be indented
34 twice, and so on...
35
36- Allow the merged stack/inventory view to be placed on the left or right
37 side of the attributes editor, or maybe detached, or maybe attached
38 below the toolbox.

46
47- Besides the "del" buttons, there should also be "up" and "down" to
48 change the stacking order. These could be just small ^/v arrows.
49
50- Add a shortcut Ctrl-W to close the current map window.
51
52- When a new map is created, it should insert the date and author name
53 like the other editors are doing (crossedit and javacrossedit).
54
55- There should be a way to customize the author name in the preferences.
56
57- The map properties (File->Map Properties) should show the map msg.
58
59- In the map editor view, the entries in the context menu that are not
60 useful for the current objects should be inactive (grayed out) or should
61 not be present in the menu. For example, if there is no exit object
62 under the pointer then there should be no "Follow Exit" or it should be
63 inactive.
64
65- If the exit object under the pointer goes to a random map ("slaying /!")
66 and if the msg contains a "final_map", then the context menu should say
67 "Follow Random Map Exit" and should go to that final map instead of
68 trying to open the non-existant "/!" map. This is very useful for some
69 multi-level random maps such as /whalingoutpost/underwaterdungeon/...
70 (Note: I had written a patch for that, but I lost it).
71
72- Try to be smarter about the position of the pop-up display of the
73 attributes of the objects under the pointer. If the mouse pointer is
74 close to the bottom or left edges of the screen, try to display the
75 pop-up window on the other side of the pointer.
76
77- Like for the web-based cfmaps.schmorp.de, add options to highlight the
78 exits, the talking monsters and the connected items in the map view.
79 It would be nice if these features could be enabled or disabled easily
80 in order to be able to toggle quickly between a "clean" view and a view
81 in which all interesting items are highlighted.
82
83- Even when the option to highlight the connected items is turned off,
84 moving the mouse pointer over a connected item should temporarily
85 highlight all other objects that have the same connected value. This
86 temporary highlight should disappear when the mouse is moved elsewhere.
87
88- When following an exit from another map, the entry point into the new
89 map should be highlighted. This special highlight should remain visible
90 until the user clicks on the map to perform some other action.
91
92- When following an exit from another map, the new view should be centered
93 around the entry point (if the map is larger than the window).
94
95- Do not include "map editor" in the title of the map editor window. Just
96 call it "gce - new map" or "gce - /path/to/the/map". This gives more
97 room to see the full path name in the limited amount of space provided
98 by the title bar.
99
100 > Hmmm... It looks like it would be nothing or "<mapname> - gcrossedit".

102 > HIG recommends using the document name only, not the full path. Link:

104
105- When a map window is closed, the inventory/stack view should be cleared
106 immediately if they were using objects from that map.
107
108- In the attribute editor, allow text wrap in the "lore" and "msg" tabs.
109
110- add author/date information to maps / edit map message
