KNOWN BUGS (in Voodoo or otherwise ;))
UnixDirsII is BROKEN and will make Voodoo crash. The patch it puts on
dos.library/SetFileSize() is totally incorrect.
Prefs looked for in current dir, not PROGDIR: (SkyGuy)
This happens if you WBStart from some other directory than the PROGDIR:.
This is not the way Workbench works.. ;)
PoolWatch caught a couple of mismatched allocmem/freemem pairs in
ascii.datatype. Not much I can do about that. ascii.datatype has other
problems, too. If Voodoo crashes on a message, first thing I suggest
you should do is turning off smart word wrapping.
Backdrops mess up on 24 bit displays. I guess I'll have to copy the
datatype provided bitmap to a CyberBitMap..?
Scrolling a message when the window is partly obstructed by another
window messes up. This is also visible in MultiView, and is a side effect
of how text.datatype works.
The editor is slow with a lot of text, loses the cursor sometimes (click
again in it), has only a few shortcut keys, etc... All problems of
textfield.gadget, and can only be fixed by a new textfield.gadget.
TODO (definite features in Serious Voodoo)
A method of adding custom headers to messages, both globally and per
message.
Automatic folder selection for new messages when importing them.
More ARexx. I could use suggestions on which commands people need.
Bounce. Probably done with an ARexx macro.
Keyboard control in prefs. Will happen in the transition to windowclass.
"Attach clipboard"
SUGGESTIONS
Highlight messages according to configuration (SkyGuy)
An option to put an ASCII line in the beginning of a message text that isn't
recognised by ascii.datatype normally.
Keep outgoing messages in a queue internal to Voodoo and send all of them
on exit or after a timeout, in the mean time allowing their cancellation
or editing. (Wubba)
IMAP interface (myself, Hezu). While this would be A Cool Thing, it'd
also mean a rewrite of ALL the low-level email code in Voodoo, plus make
it require a TCP/IP stack (which it doesn't, now). A lot of work, as you
can imagine, and I don't see much of a market for it. If you do, let me
know, and I'll reconsider. I'd like to do it, it's just a matter of being
worth all the work.
Show multipart message parts in the listview one level down.
"Select all messages".
A minimized editor window without the textfield for use with external
editors.
