For example, +a failure to rotate an image would belong on this page. +See also [[wishlist]] page. + +Things that must be fixed before the next release +------------------------------------------------- + +* Nothing right now. + +Fixed in bzr, but not yet in a release +-------------------------------------- + +* dimbola-gtk needs a manual page. +* Drag-and-dropping tags from tree should be possible from tag name, + currently it just starts editing immediately. +* If dcraw is not installed, the error message is quite mysterious, + and should instead say something sensible like dcraw not being + installed. Requiring it to be installed is perhaps not entirely + warranted, in case people only want to use JPEGs or PNGs or + other formats that GdkPixbuf supports natively. + - catch OSError when running external programs with subprocess + and report error to user in a clear fashion + - demote dcraw dependency in .deb to a recommendation + - have dcraw type caching silently handle the case of there not + being dcraw installed by return "does not support" for everything +* Folders are not sorted by name in the folder tree. +* Photo's tags not sorted case-insensitively. + +Current +------- + +* Does not build a working .deb under Debian (works under Ubuntu). + **Help needed.** +* Cannot drag-and-drop tags to image preview. +* Can't enter รค into tag name. This is perhaps an indication that unicode + is not enforced properly in the database layer. +* When changing folder, selection should be reset in grid, and + photo's info should be updated accordingly. +* Grid's scrollbar does not seem to be set correctly when + changing to a folder. +* Is not internationalized (i18n) and therefore not localized (l10n). + **Help needed.** +* Database schema should be more systematic about how tables are named. + photos and folders are main tables, but tags just references two other + tables. (Suggested by jiivonen) +* Database should build indexes for things to keep things speed. Exactly + what needs indexing should be determined by benchmarks. (Suggested by + jiivonen) + + +Bugs in other people's code that Dimbola users may hit upon +----------------------------------------------------------- + +* When exporting, can't select the directory that opens as default. + See <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557689>. + Workaround: go to parent directly, and select the desired directory + there. + + +Stuff to fix some time later in the future +------------------------------------------- + +* Database schema should use FOREIGN KEYs. Can't be fixed yet, since + it requires Sqlite 3.6.19 and Ubuntu karmic only has 3.6.16. + (Suggested by jiivonen) + +Help for Dimbola: +------------------------------------------- +* [Overview of dimbola](https://launchpad.net/dimbola) +* [Bazaar branches of dimbola](https://code.launchpad.net/dimbola) |
