Bugs and Limitations of v0.9.3
Bugs
- redraw after resizing with the mouse often does not work correctly
- ditto for scrolling the list while editing a name within it
- crashes when submenus are selected which belong to an unmounted volume
Current limitations
- myBrowser takes painfully long to launch -- this is because
some of my queries are strangely slow; furthermore the BeOS
seems to do nothing else while fetching?!
- Refs dragged to Be«s Browser are not handled correctly
(they are always copied and cannot be dropped on apps)
- Refs cannot be dropped on apps within myBrowser yet
(dropping on a list means dropping on the respective folder)
- the lists are currently BListView based and therefore slow
(DR9 BListViews will be faster)
- "GetInfo" and "Add-ons" menu items are not functional
- no multiple paths within one window possible (this may come)
- the "sort default" menu item does not work yet
- "sort" currently means sort by name
- sorting is not multithreaded yet
- opening/closing Be folder views causes slight flashing because half a dozen
B_RECORD_MODIFIED messages are sent by the OS
- highlighting during dragging is not quite what it should be
- the real Trash icon on the Dock is not changed by actions in myBrowser
- no filter query yet
- no volume-spanning queries yet
- a LOT of other things are missing which I plan to implement when DR9 comes out
