This file contains known bugs, things to do & ideas for improvement on
ABCDirectory, in additions to things I could use some help with...
Long live the Lorraine computer! (for those of you who do not know, AMIGA is
the company that introduced the Lorraine, but there was a lack of funding which
pushed these wonder-guys to sell their souls.....)

- The shell is now closed automatically, although not in the nicest of ways:
1. Do a Forbid()
2. Select the shell window
3. Insert an InputEvent (a CTRL-BACKSLASH)
3. Do a Permit()
Any suggestions for a better way of accomplishing this?
- When I change from non-interlaced to interlaced mode & the shell window is
not visible, the two scroll gadgets at the bottom become hollow when my
window is not selected... why is that?
- Is there ANY way to tell intuition I want a SHINECOLOR on the RIM of my scroll
gadgets, & NOT on the WHOLE top of it ??
- I need more info on LHA archives to better control them, so if anyone is nice
enough to send me that, I'd appreciate it.
- Making the shell dragbar operative...

- My machine crashes when I try to use unARJ with ABCDir. Anybody else?
- LHA crashes whenever it doesn't extract successfully...

- Unarchive in RAM:
- Get nitty-gritty with the BufferedDirs-SameDirOnBothSides relationship.
- Moving gadgets around (cut, copy, paste...)
- Set dir nesting pattern.
- Check scrollbar move while doing an operation.
- Search on Read command.
- Buzy pointer.
- Option to unselect saved dirs' entries when loading them.
- Fetch previous directory... RAM: -> DF0: -[FETCH]> RAM:
- Option to permit Move to work if the destination exists.
- Calculate occupied block size of OFS & FFS for more accurate «Does it fit?»
operations.
-«Does it fit?»: Tell user by how many blocks (!!) they're over/under.
- In command requester, add option to apply the function to dirs, files, both
or none.
- Also add option not to enter dirs.
- Have the correct ANSI (or at least closer to..) colors in the Read command.
- When a command is executed, inform the user on the display line.

- Add icons to entries
- Assign command
- Datestamp command
- Information command (icons)
- Do not select files when going into dirs.
- Make ABCDir into a commodity. Pour que ce soit commode!
- Make the Reduce command be able to do other actions than a simple Copy.
- Make a «Select» command which could be defined as select all/none/pattern.
This would be useful if a certain pattern was selected oftenly.
- Have a select requester with all kinds of ways to select a bunch of files.
Size, comment, date, name, protection, higher than, lower than...
- Help files.
- Fast smooth dirs.
- Have definable menus.
- After a dir has been loaded, say «files read have comments».
- Show icons.
- Some way to show if the directory contains hidden files/dirs.
- Load inserted disk.
- Set date & time.
- Add auto-directories [on startup, load some dirs]
- Open in back/iconified.
- Newcli.
- Execute AmigaDOS command.
- Search for text/file.
- If the dir to be loaded on one side is present on the other, get it from
there.
- Activate the shell's scrollbar.
- Add more ANSI support into the Read command.
- Accelerate the Read command by allocating memory in bigger chunks.
- Add ways to define colors [red, green, blue, etc..], not color registers.
- Option not to select any files when going recursively, just using the ones
selected in the BuffDirs/RemDirs.
- Add an up/down gadget to define window for # of buff dirs.
- Option to update the diskspace (will be slower when this option will be
turned on)
- A bit of 3d effect on scrollbars..
- Have variable tab spacings in the Read command.
- Option to show file size on the files' left. (easier to read, but ugly..)
- Ability to sort in reverse order.
- Save RemDirs/BuffDirs to disk.
- Suspend operation (keep all related dirs)
- Load dev/vol into source list.
