Comment (by TriEdgeAI):
'''[TODO]'''
- Copy/Paste functionality of ResourceRows.
- Tab view with three tabs about Resources, Types and Enums.
- Support for editing custom types. These can pretty much use
ResourceRow*, too.
- Support for editing enums.
- Finish parsing support for .rdef files (arrays, type-recognition,
types, enums, etc..)
- Finish output support for .rdef files.
- Provide more settings. This is done by adding views in the settings dir
and mapping them in the SettingsWindow class. Actual setting data is
stored in SettingsFile class.
- Add support for child resource rows (arrays, messages, custom types,
etc). The code is already prepared for such an addition I believe.
- Provide more edits for editing different types of resource data. This
is done by adding self-attaching views to the edits dir. Good edits would
be ColorEdit, NumericEdit<>, StringEdit, NoEdit, etc. Edits are registered
to specific resource types in DefaultTypes.h. Resource types like images
or icons should be handled by external programs like Icon-O-Matic or
WonderBrush instead of having ResourceEdit provide it's own means.
- Add validation to editing resources. Resource info validity should be
checked in EditWindow class, resource data validity should be checked in
the respective -Edit class.
- Merge from functionality (Just like normal load, except you don't clean
the list beforehand).
- Help documents and menu.
- Drag and drop functionality to add files to the .rdef with option to
choose hexdump or import mode.
- Separate ResourceRow's actual data from preview data. For example if
the data is "true" for a boolean resource, one could display "✔ TRUE"
instead. Colors can be displayed with background color and inverted color
for the text and so on.
- Allow for thumbnails to be displayed for image resources.
- Exporting/importing to .rsrc (could either be done through rc, which
would be an easier but unsafer way, and through BResources from the Haiku
API).
- Allow resource IDs to use enums.
All I can think of right now. Probably a lot more. I've left TODO comments
throughout the code here and there which should assist further by guiding
people where to implement things.
