This file contains a list of bugs to fix and minor feature changes
|
|
needed in the Tk toolkit. The list is ordered by the time when the
|
|
idea for the change first arose; no priority should be inferred from
|
|
the order.
|
|
|
|
6. Fill in default argument table in tkArgv.c, and document it.
|
|
|
|
8. Change Tk_Uid stuff so that there's a fast way to tell if a
|
|
string is really a Tk_Uid.
|
|
|
|
10. Write procedure to translate from a string to a Pixmap.
|
|
|
|
26. Extend "configure" widget command to output the type of the
|
|
option (string, color, etc.)? Or should this be done with the class
|
|
field?
|
|
|
|
28. Need mechanism to change the name of a top-level window.
|
|
|
|
30. Make "." a frame widget in wish?
|
|
|
|
47. Add new "option" subcommands to (a) query whole database or
|
|
(b) query all the option patterns that match for a particular option
|
|
(i.e. don't just return the one that will actually be used).
|
|
|
|
50. In error-handling code, ignore BadWindow errors if they occur
|
|
for a seemingly-legitimate Tk window.
|
|
|
|
63. Provide way to determine "type" of window (i.e. command under which
|
|
it was created) rather than current class?
|
|
|
|
68. Write manual entries for new exported binding procedures.
|
|
|
|
75. Change Tk_Uid typedef to prevent confusion with (char *)?
|
|
|
|
76. Change listbox selection handling to return multiple items separated
|
|
by newlines rather than as a Tcl list?
|
|
|
|
81. For check and radio buttons, change "command" config to separate
|
|
commands invoked when button becomes selected/deselected?
|
|
|
|
86. Change "tkVersion" variable to "tk_version" for consistency.
|
|
|
|
89. Eliminate hard-wired behavior for scales and scrollbars: use class
|
|
bindings instead.
|
|
|
|
92. Add mechanism for interposing constraints in geometry management,
|
|
e.g. to allow a collection of buttons to all request same width (for
|
|
tables) or to provide a generic mechanism for padding widgets internally.
|
|
|
|
93. Add way to find out which geometry manager "owns" a particular
|
|
window. Also, Tk_SetInternalBorder isn't notify geometry managers
|
|
correctly (it assumes that slaves are children). Also, it would be
|
|
nice to have a callback to notify a geometry manager if one of its
|
|
slaves is taken away from it by another geometry manager.
|
|
|
|
98. Add Tk command to compute the bbox of a given text string in a given
|
|
font?
|
|
|
|
100. Extend scrollbar "set" command so that arrow increment can be set
|
|
explicitly. Or, change scrollbar interface completely so that the
|
|
scrollbar only gets two numbers giving slider position, and sends
|
|
commands of the form "foo scroll up1" or "foo scroll upScreen".
|
|
|
|
101. Eliminate TK_DONT_WAIT option to Tk_DoOneEvent.
|
|
|
|
103. Get image displaying widget from Paul Mackerras (paulus@cs.anu.edu.au)
|
|
and incorporate into Tk.
|
|
|
|
105. Eliminate the "activate" and "deactivate" commands for buttons
|
|
and menu buttons.
|
|
|
|
106. Add feature to buttons for automatic defaulting, where button
|
|
allocates extra space for default ring.
|
|
|
|
107. Eliminate the "disable" and "enable" commands for menus.
|
|
|
|
108. Change Tk_GetAtomName to return NULL instead of "?bad atom?".
|
|
|
|
110. Extend bitmaps to allow direct specification (#0xffff ...)
|
|
|
|
114. Change default so that windows are normally resizable?
|
|
|
|
115. Change Tk_GetSelection to look in the cut buffer if no selection
|
|
can be found.
|
|
|
|
117. Implement a mechanism for retrieving just the value of a configuration
|
|
option, without all the other stuff (name, default, etc.). Perhaps
|
|
a "cvalue" widget command?
|
|
|
|
124. Remove "-geometry" option from all widgets, and use "-width" and
|
|
"-height" instead.
|
|
|
|
128. Scroll windows when selecting off edge of window (do for listboxes,
|
|
entries, and text)?
|
|
|
|
129. Add keyboard traversal to text and listboxes.
|
|
|
|
131. Should new characters in text widget get tags of character they
|
|
precede or character they follow (currently it's "follow")? Or neither?
|
|
|
|
132. Extend "option" command to make it possible to retrieve the original
|
|
resource pattern specs.
|
|
|
|
134. Allow upper-left character in text not to be the first character
|
|
of a line: otherwise, with very long line and small window, won't be
|
|
able to view the end of a line.
|
|
|
|
136. Implement mechanism for using existing window as main window for
|
|
application, support with command-line argument in wish.
|
|
|
|
137. Modify default bindings so that they can handle multiple mice working
|
|
simultaneously on different displays (right now there is a single variable
|
|
that keeps track of the active window, for example).
|
|
|
|
138. Add packer option not to set requested geometry for parent window?
|
|
|
|
139. Change canvas Postscript generation to be smarter about font names
|
|
that have been abbreviated: use X to look up the full name.
|
|
|
|
140. Canvas Postscript isn't stippling text like it should: the code
|
|
seems not to have been written at all.
|
|
|
|
141. Change "send" code to be cleverer about reclaiming names of dead
|
|
interpreters. E.g. check for duplicate window names in the registry
|
|
or check for a unique-id property on the commWindow.
|
|
|
|
142. Need to add "-displayfor" option to the following commands:
|
|
focus, selection, send.
|
|
|
|
143. There are tricky issues about send and multiple displays. Does
|
|
some name get registered for a top-level window on a new display? If
|
|
so, how to deal with multiple different names for application? If not,
|
|
can this window be sent to by other applications on its display?
|
|
|
|
144. In text widgets, if you backspace over a newline, the caret sometimes
|
|
leaves garbage at the left edge of its previous (lower) line.
|
|
|
|
145. Incorporate Mark Diekhans' "addinput" or something like it.
|
|
|
|
146. Change main.c to use "name" to set the class, instead of Tk.
|
|
|
|
147. Add "window" entry to menus.
|
|
|
|
148. Add an "initProc" and a "freeProc" to TK_CONFIG_CUSTOM config types.
|
|
|
|
149. Remove Tcl_PrintDouble override macro in tkInt.h.
|
|
|
|
150. In SYNONYM options, specify a command-line switch for the other
|
|
option, not a database name.
|
|
|
|
151. Rename "pack newinfo" to "pack info".
|
|
|
|
152. Make canvas window items restack in response to canvase "raise"
|
|
and "lower" commands.
|
|
|
|
153. Some fonts (e.g. Times) have underline characters that extend
|
|
*below* the official descent of the font. Right now the underline
|
|
is invisible for these fonts in text widgets. Find a way to make
|
|
this work in text?
|
|
|
|
154. Eliminate "geometry" variable from tkMain.c.
|
|
|
|
155. Change all bindings to ignore extra modifiers by default? This
|
|
seems to be right more often than it's wrong.
|
|
|
|
156. Eliminate "alwaysRedraw" for canvases and add an undisplayProc
|
|
instead.
