    Revision as of 02:25, 30 August 2009 by Rakuco (talk | contribs) (Add a list of the most critical Ark bugs)

    Current most critical bugs

    • Bug 193908: There must be a way to tell the worker thread to stop when the GUI is being closed.
    • Bug 203126: Most of the code before app.exec() in main.cpp must be moved elsewhere to be run after the main loop starts. This should fix most event loop bugs related to batchextract.
    • Bug 204323: Support for remote locations must be implemented (shouldn't be too hard).

    Ark Plans

    KDE 4.4

    See the feature plan for KDE 4.4.

    • Add visual feedback for the operations in the status bar
    • Add a proper way to display a notice to the user when autosubfolder is enabled in the extraction dialog
    • Make single/double-clicking an entry open the file in the default launcher instead of using the internal previewer (which shall become a context menu option)
    • proper cancel support and no crash if closed during exctraction
    • letting a plugin try to open something and possible fail, basically rework the plugin management
    • more GUI means a settings dialog for example. I also would like to share more functionality with dolphin as we discussed once (other view modes etc)
    • finish AddDialog
    • general code cleanup and api doxyfication

    Personal TODOs

    Harald

    • Formalize the dbus communication protocol and implement it in dolphin
    • BUG: After opening file from web, automatic subfolder detection name is confused
    • BUG: extractiondialog is confused by "/" in subfolder name
    • Check if we want the two last patches in bug #155220
    • Revert the single folder label
