- 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.
