2003-12-28 Brian Masney <[e-mail]> **** NOTE: this commit breaks a lot of functionality in gftp. I **** **** still have more work to do on this. Please don't email me **** **** saying that the CVS code is broken. **** * lib/bookmark.c lib/gftp.h lib/local.c lib/options.h lib/rfc2068.c lib/rfc959.c lib/sshv2.c - moved the use_threads option from the request structure over to the protocol declaration in options.h. * lib/options.h src/gtk/gftp-gtk.c - added cmd_in_gui option. When this option is enabled, a new toolbar will be shown in the GTK+ port that will allow you to control the GUI by entering manual commands. * src/Makefile.am - added uicommon directory * src/gtk/Makefile.am src/text/Makefile.am - link in the uicommon library. * src/uicommon/* src/text/gftp-text.c - moved most of the functionality of the text port over to the uicommon directory. Made this code a little more generic so that the GTK+ port can have a text interface associated with it. * src/gtk/gtkui.c src/gtk/gftp-gtk.c src/gtk/mkdir_dialog.c src/gtk/rename_dialog.c src/gtk/menu-items.c src/gtk/misc-gtk.c - started to clean up the callback functions and make them more tightly integrated with the uicommon code. * src/gtk/bookmarks.c src/gtk/chmod_dialog.c src/gtk/delete_dialog.c src/gtk/gftp-gtk.c src/gtk/menu-items.c src/gtk/misc-gtk.c src/gtk/transfer.c - s/refresh/gftpui_refresh/g s/jmp_environment/gftpui_common_jmp_environment/g s/request->use_threads/gftpui_common_use_threads (request)/g * src/gtk/options_dialog.c (apply_changes) - whenever the options are saved, check to see if the command entry needs to be shown or hidden.

This is a list of some of the things I plan to work on for future releases
of gFTP. If there is something you feel should be included in a future
version of gFTP, please email me about it.

* I need to be able to send an event from the core library to the presentation
  layer to have it ask the user a question. I need this for the SSL layer so 
  that if an unknown certificate authority signed the certificate, the user
  can be prompted whether or not to accept it. Also, it would be handy to 
  prompt the user for their password if a bad password was entered. 
* Text Port - resume transfers, add --mirror option, --continue option
  and --background options to the command line.
* DND - be able to resume transfers
* HTTP - keepalive
* Support tabbed interface in GTK+ port
* Parallel chdir in GTK+ port
* GTK 2.0 port - make 2 buttons in toolbar be the same size as the gnome 2
  icons
* Add option to hide certain files
* Be able to save the state of the transfer queue. Be able to pause transfers.
* For bookmarks, be able to specify a local protocol, host, port, directory
  to connect to
* Show status information in title bar
* -d command line, check if it's a file first, if so download. If not, grab directory
* Add option for @dynamic@ for bookmarks' account
* Playing sounds after certain events or calling external program
* Ratio support
* Recursive directory compares
* Make it be able to download a directory as directory.tar
* Make it execute a program on a url (say rpm -qpi ftp://site.com/file.rpm)
* Full Gnome compatibility.
* Add registered file extensions to options dialog
* Multiline VMS directory listings
  BIN.DIR;1
