I don't have enough time to -implement it, if somebody else can come up with an implementation -and test all the implications it would be great. Flipped views -affect for example the look of NSBrowser right now, it will work -as expected when flipped views will be available. - -@item -the implementation for NSImage should be completed. The current -implementation is buggy, that's why you can see those ugly arrow -images inside the scroll buttons. All the image representations -should be added, including full support for various TIFF formats -and for EPS images. - -@item -NSColorList should be implemented such that it stores the color -lists into an implementation independent format. The current -implementation uses NSArchiver which is not good because the files -are dependent on the Foundation library used. A simple ASCII file -should be sufficient; alternatively Foundation .strings or -property list files could be used. - -@item -various panels should be implemented: NSOpenPanel, NSSavePanel, -NSColorPanel, NSFontPanel. This should be really simple once we -have model handling. The implementation of a panel should have -associated with it a model file which contains the description of -the graphical objects inside a panel; the behavior is implemented -by the corresponding class. Having the model file describe the -aspect of the panel makes the look of panel independent on the -actual backend, each backend could come with its own model file to -describe a panel. This is in theory, most probably some minimal -support in backend would still be required. - -@item -automatic resizing of views should be done. Also pretty simple to -do. - -@item -sending of -display to a view doesn't work as expected because the -optimization I've done for displaying and flushing of windows -doesn't mark the view as needing flush, in the case of buffered -windows; you should use -setNeedsDisplay: instead. This is a known -problem and should be fixed. - -@item -the interaction between the X/DPS library and the window manager -should be defined so that we can implement modal windows, window -ordering (which should really not depend on the window manager), -drag&drop, the display of window decorations and the handling of -window resizing, closing and miniaturizing. - -@item -the NSFormCell should be able to edit the text value - -@item -the NSTextField class should be finished to make the cursor flush. - should also be hidden when the text field resigns as -first responder. Another thing to be done is to handle text -selections. Cursor flushing is fairly simple to implement with -timer events; selection should also be simple enough. - -@item @emph{NSText} [8, NSText] (980101) -the biggest challange is the text system. Some work has been done -by ANOQ of the Sun, but it is a mixture between the old and the -new API for NSText from the newer OPENSTEP. In my opinion we -should try implement the new API only, the old one is too hard to -program and extend by users. Also the Johnny's implementation is -view-only, you can't really use the code to edit the text. My -estimate for a fairly complete version of it would be 2 good -people working full time for 3-4 months. - -@item Implement drag and drop [6, drag&drop interfaces&standards] (980101) -Drag and drop/pasteboard framework. Is there a way this can be done so -that all GNU programs can take advantage of it and not just GNUstep? -That would be optimal because GNUstep and non-GNUstep programs would then -be able to partially interoperate. - @item Expand the image handling capabilities beyond OpenStep. There is no reason why we must limit ourselves to EPS and TIFF bitmaps, we should
