Feature Requests

From puppyfan12
These ideas are for my own Puplet∞ for Xplatform use and easing migration from win32 to linux. They were brought over by Lobster but need to be sorted still as some may not apply to Puppy 215CE.

• let the user know a program has been executed and is loading for older/slower computers to avoid opening the application several times - requested by mossenuba & Leon∞, VariEze ∞ Done? Guesttoo's dialogue∞ work around - pop's up when executing scripts.
• a way to toggle a 'loading bitmap' vs the default verbose mode when loading puppy
• Encrypted pup_save file∞

• Rarsa's Improved RDP Client∞
• Rarsa's Tray Volume selector∞
• Rarsa's Puppy Volume Mixer∞
• Rarsa's puppy Measurement/Units Convertor∞
• Rarsa's TkMines∞ (with a cleaned up UI)
• Sunburnt's .sfs management utils∞
• Drag and Drop Features investigate this post by MU∞
• 'mimic' win32 'recent documents' in the puppy menu using symbolic links with a simple gui checkbox somewhere to enable/disable that feature
• Make windows key + L start xscreensaver/xlock/xlockmore type function (same shortcut as windows for locking the screen before walking away from pc)
• My dotpup/petget requests..hopefully I can learn to compile these myself (link∞)
• troubleshoot issues with the shutdown icon in puppy | (link to forum post)∞
• 'mimic' win32 'recent documents' in the puppy menu using symbolic links
• a right click on the desktop should give a menu option to change at least the following: the resolution, refresh rate, themes, desktop background, screensaver, power management.
• Implementing a control panel that gives similar configuration options as OSX and windows control panel.
• Make double clicking the clock bring up a calendar. Ability to adjust time/date/timezone is a plus.
• Multi-User Puppy?
• Fonts overlap when printing thunderbird emails using Cups
• Make windows key + L start xscreensaver/xlock/xlockmore∞ type functions
• Lightweight screensaver that plays avi file & optionally play slideshow of images in a directory
• Create howto for enabling thunderbird spam filter and moving it from inbox into Junk Folder
• Create howto for enabling thunderbird auto responder (reply with template filter)
• GUI wizard to select alternative (existing) directories containing data profiles (for firefox, thunderbird, gaim)
