11. Future

• 11.1. eXode & lesstif compliance

• 11.2. Current TO DO list

• 11.3. Version 2.0

11.1. eXode & lesstif compliance

Fof is now a part of the eXode desktop project. There is a lot of things to do to make fof eXode-compliant :

• remove all motif 2.0 elements (this requires building new widgets)
• make a lesstif-compliant version
• use the eXode eXdbm configuration file format

11.2. Current TO DO list

- remove Confirm dialog delays [don't know where this problem comes from]

- Add Help

- add a new "attributes" command and remove the old one

- make the info dialog modal, 
       - change the content for each new selection
       - use a combobox if the selection has more than one file
       - add a "change attributes" toggle to allow attributes modifications
         on the selected file
      -  align the time labels on the left and the values on the right

- in tar dialog, just ask for the rootname and add the correct extension

- add a pulldown menu : find from => 5 last dirs searched

- add  minimum sizes in the default config file

- it should be possible to define a list of extensions for the description
  of a file format:
  > 
  >   FORMAT tar_gz_archive
  >     ...
  >     PATTERN "*.tar.gz;*.tgz"
  >     ...
  >   ENDFORMAT
  > 

11.3. Version 2.0

The version 1.0 of fof will be the last non-eXode version but we'll probably add a lot of new functionalities for the next release.

We're waiting for you suggestions ...
