WinHugs/Bugs

This is a list of bugs and features, and peoples thoughts on them. Please just add things, if it's an opinion on a feature or something, please sign your name. Especially if a feature is important to you, say how important it is and why you think its a good idea.

Polish

These aren't really bugs, they just need looking at before a final release. Mainly just polishing rough edges and checking for consistency.

• Unicode
• update the documentation
• keyboard accelerators, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V etc.
• correctly align and space the options dialog
• add more text editor support (as people ask!)

Bugs

These are things which are accepted as being wrong

Does Not Work on Windows 98

Active bug, I'm still trying to get Virtual PC and try it out on Win98.

Excessive Clearing

Excessive clearing of previous part of the screen, once it starts to wrap round

Occasional Screen Glitches

I don't know why these happen, the screen code is rather complicated...

Terminal interaction

Inline system calls, i.e. "system dir" returns the results to the terminal, not the WinHugs window.

Textpad vs DDE

Open textpad with new command: C:\Program Files\TextPad 4\TextPad.exe -s %s(%d) (fixes DDE problems on certain systems, opens multiple instances on others...)

:edit

(colon)edit starts editing a weird file. Should create a new file in my documents and open that.

Enhancements

cpphs support

Allow it to compile files with preprocessor directives, by automatically running cpphs on them first.

Less verbose file listing

Should be an option to list all files not in the Hugs directory loaded
