Project List

Post project suggestions in this thread for the sake of keeping a list of them, but discuss them in detail in their own thread.

* OS :

- USB : USB2 support
- Printing : improvement in the print system
- Datatypes : improvements in datatypes system (streaming, cross format saving, thumbnails, ...)
- Petunia : support of Classic Amiga custom chips
- Audio : AHI recording
- Network : IPv6 support in RoadShow
- Multiuser : minimal support for multi-user
- ReAction : classes improvement, higher level interface, ...
- Charsets, fonts : UTF-8 support
- GrimReaper : useable GDB that does not freeze the system one time of two when attaching a crashed process
- fix refresh problem in WB scrollbars
- Find : too simplist, don't manage to search into every drawers
- Multiview : add possibility to do a small diaporama, a small playlist, etc.
- integration of AmiUpdate into the system in order to update it, mode to install yet unstalled softwares
- Clock, PlayCD, Blanker modules : there are a bit outdated, aren't they ?
- PartionWizard : better SFS support
- Theme manager in the GUI preference
- Input : Handling of multimedia keys, joypads
- File systems : FAT32, NTFS
- Samba, OpenSSH : It would be better to make a network handler then plugins for Samba, FTP, SFTP, NFS etc... Advantage of this is that with a good documentation and a sample plugin it's not required that OS4 devs write all plugins themselves.
- A system monitor : task lists and possibility to kill those that are crashed, preview CPU usage
- PDF printer

* Workbench :
- Assign manager : A graphical tool for managing assigns
- A lister mode
- Possibility to iconify windows
- Icons : add 32bits and PNG support to IconEdit
- Possibility to create link
- Multi-desktop handling (a la linux)
- a "thumbnailer" (a la eastern) : I will even go further and propose (mybe via a preference) to do thumbnails of every file types having an appropriate datatype (yes I know I come back to the datatypes, but that is (was) a so innovative and clever concept that I find it scandalous that it was let apart for so long)...
- Screenshot function
- Dockies : possibility to choose which dock the dockies will be added, a true transparency mode
- Dockies : a dock with only dockies in it to monitor activites of running applications (cpu meter, equalizers for an audio player, indication of received mail for the mailer, progress bar of the burning software, etc.)
- Iconification in the dock itself
- Shell : improvements a la KingCON, addition of tabs, log for each console, settings (background color, ...)
- AISS yes I agree totally, it must be integrated in the OS, but it would be good to have a way of caching in order to prevent applications spend ages to launch...

* Hardware :
- USB : webcams support (isochronous mode) and scanners
- NVidia GFX-card support
- better profit of gfx-cards (tv and dvi -out, compositing, overlay, opengl etc)
- Bluetooth stack (file transfer, etc.)
- TV Tuner card support
- Firewire : for storage
- functionnal IDE ZIP drives support (not just in read-only mode)

Hi @orgin


Possibility to iconify windows

I use 'AmiSnap' all the time. This Window Iconifier is very useful for navigating docs. I hug the author! ;_)Was there some other defintion about this ?

integration of AmiUpdate into the system in order to update it, mode to install yet unstalled softwares

I'm a Python supporter for that!

- AISS yes I agree totally, it must be integrated in the OS...
Ditto!

Shell : improvements a la KingCON...

ABCshell is the best IMHO. It needs to made integrated to the OS. I had to install SDK 'lite' to use it. Huh?

Project name: Assign manager

Isn't AssignPrefs good enough for you ? It's written by Thomas Frieden and ported to OS4 by Joachim Birging. I think they can easily make it part of the OS.

I thought that was a part of the OS already. Or was it 4.1 ?

@TSK

Nope, Check the project description. His program could be a starting point, but it does not fulfill the functional requirements. Also check the project comments on the project website for more info.

@orgin

I missed this completely... Could this section be put on the first page, please ?
