- > Make Resident:
- [...]
-
- > Newshell (NewCLI)
-
- this one is already resident with OS3.x
-
- > Improvements Needed:
- > *Requesters (ReqTools & Arq-like)
-
- NEVER !! Magic File Requester alike, but more stable than MFR.
-
- > *ClipBoard
-
- Implement something like Windows' OLE !
-
- > @ Online 'Help' add flexibility and expand
-
- Online help for ALL WB features, for beginners. Like Windows has
- itsá'course'
-
- > Public Screen support (thru tooltypes so programs can open behind WB)
-
- And a real PubScreen Manager as part of WB (a menu entry, not a program and
- no CX !)
-
- > Control of GUI elements (window highlite colors, etc) thru Prefs
-
- MUI alike but not MUI !
-
- > *Give 'MORE' a file requester and ability to use keys for up-down
-
- No, better would be a shell like KingCON, with the same type of TAB
- completion. You do not need a requester than, yep,arequester would just
- mean a slowdown.
-
- > *Preference settings from the Cli without opening the programs
-
- Give the OS a global ARexx server and the User a shell,that also can
- directly send ARexx messages. This way this would work easily.
-
- > *Allow us to 'shift-click on an icon to unselect after doing a 'select
- > all'
-
- This already works. Try it: Select all and then press
- SHIFT-LBUTTON-RBUTTON. (at the same time)
-
- > *'List, Assign, Resident, Type, & Dir' need a /p (page) or /m (more)
- > switch
-
- The pager is not needed with an uptodate Shell/Console. See KingCON
- consoles.
-
- > *Font sensitive gadgets
-
- ??
-
- > *Trashcan
-
- Leave it as option, it is now an option already. Why to remove soething
- that we already have and that does not cost anything ?
-
- > *Cycle gadgets, button gadgets (ala MUI)
-
- Very important, this one. So all can done by keyboard.
-
- > KingCon instead of Cli/Shell with name completion (system-wide)
- > with scroll bar for cut/paste text
-
- You say it....
-
- > @*Buy the rights to a compression method and include in the OS
- > @*Xpk support
-
- What now ? I guess the latter one is better (XPK rulez!)
-
- > *Patch for 68020+ DataTypes to run on a 68000 3.1/ECS
-
- Bullshit ! Are you talking about a NEW OS or about people using their old
- A500 ? (Jesus.....!)
-
- > *AGA to ECS retargetting
-
- Nuke 'em both !
-
- > *Check for open/changed files on reboot or 'guru'
-
- No, close them....
-
- > *Cli command like 'openwindow HD1:' that would work from
- > s:user-startup
-
- All windows shall be openable by CLI. OpenWindow
- HD1:Tools/MyTools/WhatIHaveDoneSoFar
-
- > *Scroll bar in the Cli
-
- Men, you are repeating yourself. We had that KingCON already.
-
- > *Mouseclick brings window to front and makes it active
-
- Already there.
-
- > *Global tooltypes, rather than pregram specific tooltypes
-
- What would the advantage be ? This sounds like crap.
-
- > More Sound Channels (8)
-
- PC clones have 16, 32 and more. What do you want with 8 channels ?
-
- ake it 32 and add MIDI channels and EMU Proteus interfaces.
-
- > Faster serial port
-
- We had that twice now....
-
- > *PCMCIA drives
- > *OS on CD ROM and on floppies
-
- FlashRom for the high end users....
-
- > *Three-button mouse support built-in to the OS
-
- Jep.
-
-
- > needed NOW!!! Three levels (hobbyist, PD/Shareware, Professional)
-
- Two levels: Non commercial and commercial

- And fully in HTML !
-
- > @*Service Manuals for 500, 1200, 2000, 3000, 4000 series
-
- What the heck do you want with these old machines....?
