1 TODO till release 0.1.1:
3 Option as to whether or not to show unit scale (esp for exporting images)
5 check out bgitemcount stuff in background.c (hangs on clear!)
6 g_dtostr instead of fprintf in the appropriate places
7 Debugging output shouldn't be printf'd but we g_print'd, and we should have a DEBUG flag
10 Fix coord layer for various projections
11 selections (select area of waypoints, trackpoints, etc)
12 Clipboard done right -- GtkClipboard, between processes
15 OR copy & paste >1 item (better! not too hard?)
16 funky gpsbabel filter stuff (data sources -- think about, i want something innovative in this release.)
18 elevation plotting is not so pretty if you're moving north, as it overlays stuff uglily. discussion?
19 arrows to show track direction
20 bicycle runs your track (animation) that tilts depending on slope
23 tracks have their own colors, etc.
25 relative photo pathnames (relative to GPS data file)
26 Optimizations (compare to 0.0.5)
27 SETTABLE OPTIONS: map cache size, alphabetized waypoints/tracks, picture viewer, webbrowser
28 Speed up waypoint drawing; option for faster drawing.
29 what if try to REDOWLOAD while RE/DOWNLOADing?
30 Redraw when becomes available, somehow? Also, show maps in progress a different color.
31 map loading/memory caching in the background? (for zoom out)
32 WHITE UNDER TRACKS! DONE FASTER! CLEAN THIS UP!
35 "click to go there" elevation map: average out, not nearest trackpoint.
37 FEATURE WISHLIST (i.e. unlikely to get done):
39 Better annotation for tracks, etc. Fields, etc.
41 New UI: "Track Tool" => just analyze/pick out, right click or button to edit
42 right click to do new track
43 or "Track/Waypoint Tool"
44 I18N (das mundo ne parle pas agglika)
46 import from data sources ( gpsbabel (gps device) / google / geocaching.com )
48 MISC FIXES (i.e. will never get done):
49 Reid's 23, including waypoints, GPX/XML Viking files.
50 modular plotting styles? just an idea...
51 optimize Lat/Lon performance with its own CE1, CE2 etc.
52 make ce1, cn2 etc for lat/lon & utm; maybe get out the checking code in vik_viewport (see draw_rectange for instance)
53 Progressive Loading (GdkPixbufLoader)
54 CACHING WHOLE CHUNKS? (USEFUL FOR MAP ZOOM TOO!) RELOAD BUTTON?
55 * instead of using "emit"s in tools, do this:
56 * "add-only" return value -- only redraw this layer and layers above it.
57 OR maybe even more advanced -- only redraw certain portions of screen.
58 what about ALPHA??? uh oh...
59 "always redraw" return value -- if layer is visible or not -- e.g. goto wp
60 "redraw if visible" return value
61 settable defaults for layers (sigh...) OR at least config.h stuff
67 * Data sources: google, gpsbabel
68 * gpsbabel plugin -- wired up to get directions from google maps.
70 * direct GPS support (?)
71 GPS navigation (speed, etc, etc)
72 * advanced downloader?
75 whole list: length, max movement, icons. can make more. right click -> stops...
77 * draw by altitude, altitude side thingy.
83 * new UI & documentation
84 * internationalization
86 * TIGER data, vector maps
88 * altitude stuff, goodies
89 * major UI changes, direct manipulation
90 * sit down for a day or two and design the bestest bestest UI
94 * more sophisticated vector data, almost GIS stuff. garmin maps, whatever
97 --------------------------------
101 * square & track-based
102 * select everything in, everything out
105 * pango for text; text background with settable colors & options
106 * move & edit waypoints!!! auto-select for that
107 * maybe an option to turn on auto-select: off, on, only for same layer (default)
109 * some of the above optimizations
112 * delete dupes by name
113 * delete dupes by location; name & location
115 * track editing -- everything on that idea sheet on my desk.
117 * show list of pics in one location
118 * maybe track-by-elevation
120 * alphabetize waypoints & tracks
121 * d&d layers (not worth it?)
123 * crazhy-crazhy auto-switch UTM?
124 * figure out save image in background stuff, sigh...
125 * "widget properties set value param data"
126 -> check if has properties params
127 -> in layer_prop_fact: hold value's check if changed.
128 -> return TRUE only if value affects look
129 -> beautify dynamic properties boxes (checkboxes please?)
131 -> maybe get rid of post_read (use set_param to update gc's -- but maybe not...)
133 * due <= 2004-6-12 (1 yr after 0.0.3)
136 * do alpha _right_ (to see what I mean, try drawing a transparent PNG)
137 -----------------------
139 POSSIBLE MAP OPTIMIZATIONS:
140 save conglomerates of shrunken images [to disk]?
141 static cache.c shared between everything -- SHARE MAP CACHES BETWEEN LAYERS AND WINDOWS!!!
142 background loading thread
143 load zoomed out images into conglomerates
145 Sort images by some sort of checksum (maybe sum of all digits) into 10 groups
146 makes finding cached image 10 times faster
147 if we somehow know we're not going to have enough room to store all maps for 1 redraw in cache, don't cache at all.
148 better cache management -- maybe every map in memory?
149 --> cache should fit more small maps than big ones!!!
150 maybe number for cache_size, keep track of it manuall, calculate from shrinkfactor? <-- good idea
151 pixmap (not pixbuf) cache?
152 vikmaplayer.c:520, don't run g_slist_length who-knows-howmany times (only noticable when shrinking cache)
153 stat images to make sure the size isn't zero (vs. trying to load them). then show errors for bad ones (?)
154 don't lookup IP each time (?)
156 ------------------------------
159 Then, focus on Lat/Lon and mapquest maps. (????)
160 Then, focus on Lat/Lon and mapquest maps.
162 0.0.9 "260 million maps... I can't hear you at all" release:
163 finalize pthread/map download UI.
164 export to image fix bug
165 viking running -> use this thread ( good luckers !!! )
168 0.1.0 "where we're going, we don't need roads" release (concept idea):
169 Select a waypoint, delete to delete it, real tools, a toolbar, etc.
171 alphabetatize waypoints & tracks
172 "area selections" -- select tool -> select waypoints in/outside area, download maps in area, etc. etc.
174 -/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
176 0.1.0: the "fixes, patches, improvements, and goodies" release
177 "Where we're going, we don't need roads..."
179 * move a_dialog_new_track to viktrwlayer.c. Clean up VikTrwLayer, separating into several more-managable functions.
180 * get rids of pass_along, layer_and_vlp junk, just use update signal and track_iters (maybe make waypoint_iters) (?)
182 * general cleanups, what you have time for (vik_trackpoint_free etc, draw_track, etc.)
183 * do we really have to have all those global funcs in vik_trw_layer ?
184 right click->new track here, new waypoint here. general TRWEdit tool with popup on vikviewport, it can be done.
185 general edit->delete to delete whatever is selected. ugly stuff ahead.
186 show human-readable timestamp
187 toolbar/toolbox, tool opts win (for tpwin) like in gimp (?)
188 Maybe fix "private" ref_count in clipboard.c (?)
189 clean up viktrwlayer.c, call track_realize() when adding track with add_track(), del dup. code, esp. in track_draw
190 move/edit by click for wp?
191 toolbar/toolbox, tool opts win (for tpwin) like in gimp (?)
192 only draw if in UTM zone !!!
193 Track color-by-elevation ( go all over an area, make tracks thicker/zoom out to create DEM color map ?! )
195 Thing to download lotsa maps (script or builtin -- ?)
196 Merge layers (what a say we have 2 layers, one with wp's, one with tracks)
197 merge: auto rename (everything begins with "layer name: ")
198 right click agg -> merge trw children -> super trw
199 or multiple slect/copy & paste
200 picture layer, thumbnails and all...
201 move to gpsbabel default altitude, reflect it everywhere, include viking-remote
202 gpspoint.c -- use new easy gpsbabel code, abc, 123.
204 hard things to think about that need to be done sometime (mainly hard/impossible):
205 1) map downloader process / map download queue
206 2) if viking already running, use that process. cut and paste will work much better.
208 EVERYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE SHOULD BE IN 0.1.0! 0.2.0 WILL FOCUS ON LAT/LON AND STREET MAPS
214 For mapquest & georef maps: vikviewport "mode" to draw in (utm or straightened lat/lon), check before drawing, convert for TP, etc.
215 * full georef support, release minnesota/manganese
217 * smart drawing -- determine if line segment passes thru area, fancy math...
218 * map downloading manager, smarter ways -- e.g. "download maps within polygon"
219 * maybe a gpsbabel plug-in
220 * topos zoomed out if it didn't make it into 0.1.0
221 * maybe better wp drawing
222 * wp's alphabetically (good luckers) or at least when loading
227 * new viking -> not new process
230 * improve direct manipulation
232 * smart labeling so we can see 2 wp's (nearly) in the same place
238 * anything else possible, plausible and desirable.
239 * lots and lots of docs
244 * viewing -- showing places/tracks on topo or street maps or scanned maps
245 * map download & printing -- your own, TOPO-thomas guides or city thomas guies
246 * adding coord lines to scanning maps -- print 'em out or see where they are
248 * managing & organizing data
249 * creating maps and gps maps
252 * maybe downn scaling of higher-quality topos to accommodate odd zoom resolutions. this would also be useful for downloading _only_ high
253 quality topos, or zooming out and seeing what topos we are missing, or downloading LOTS more topos at once (w/ download all on screen)
254 again, we will have to see how good GTK scaling is.
255 * maybe scaling of weird-scale (georeferenced) maps
258 * georeferenced raster layer:
260 - fix off-by-one-pixel bug (probably corner stuff) (?)
262 - tool (maybe BUTTON 4,5 thing), and maybe a better zoom tool. but for release it's OK.
264 ROTATION/MESSED UP MAPS:
265 * Track/Waypoint Plotting as Lat/Lon (or artificial rotation, maybe preferred) for those kind of maps
266 and/or rotation of maps (not as good)
267 * maybe option "draw as lat long -- UTM center +- 1000 or something to find degrees/pixel (or use some other formula a la odu)
268 * or just rotation in screen_to_utm and utm_to_screen
269 * "anchoring down" one part of a georeferenced map for rotation and scaling.
271 * fix coord layer, it is SO horribly broken for high zoom levels.
273 * Investigate "chunk already freed"
274 * investigate if layer type doesnt have icon wont start bug
275 * Cleanups and fixes until 0.0.5-final:
276 * at least two of these things
278 * copy and paste items
284 maybe "max size" thing for each param
285 --> maybe address within layer (struct offset) so wwe can just do away with set_param (in most cases). put stuff in realize or after_read
286 cleanup interface <---- IMPORTANT
291 has_altitude or NO_ALTITUDE -> 999999
297 dialog.c -> misc.c, viktrwlayer.c
298 export a layer from the file menu, some how. Export Layer -> choose layer. or Export Selected Layer (disabled as need be
302 RGN type and other type in something of its own, not name.
303 that way, we can use the same file for waypoints to gps and for maps.
305 solutions to this problem:
308 <R> Save current position
309 <R> Save this position:
318 (fixes + cleanups + scaling + rotation + ruler widgets (?) + topos & orthos in one (?) + copy&past items + merge layers) = 0.0.6
320 then 0.0.7, 0.0.8, 0.0.9 focus
322 things before "major" release:
323 direct manipulation (major feature/use)
324 use current viking (maybe)
326 to second "major" release:
327 libgpspoint2 and/or gpsd (show current pos)
329 analyzing stuff better, exact analyzing.

348 if viking already running, use that process. + copy and paste layers + merge layers
349 + copy and paste items + bugfixes = 0.0.6
350 Direct manipulation, WYSIWYG moving + track connecting + etc = 0.0.7
351 track segment selection, deletion, track point deletion (create two segments or skip point) +
352 waypoint symbols + bugfixes = 0.0.8
353 toolbar + layer properties boxes changes, etc. + misc = 0.0.9
354 routes + misc + code cleanups = 0.0.10

357 misc, etc. fixes, cleanups = 0.0.14
358 autotools, I18n + etc. = 0.0.15
361 (NOT IMPORTANT. FF2 will come.)
362 functions write_utm, read_utm to save space
363 sizeof(Waypoint) != sizeof(components)! try to save disk space
364 len of layer for each layer so older versions can skip over new layers
365 Make it so if layertype >= vik_layer_num_types, skip layer. (in aggregatelayer.c)
366 Use magic numbers, and lengths to better prevent version messing ups (len of layer data, if extra,
367 rest skip, if not enough, ignore, etc.) 9in layer file themselves)
370 Viking 0.1.0 "It's been a long road..."
372 > 0.1.0: anylyzing speed and time, libgpspoint, misc goodies
373 > 0.2.0: garmap layers, utm zones, etc.
375 0.0.4 "Lame Duck Tape"
377 0.0.6 "Where we're going, we don't need roads..."
380 UNDO DELETE LAYER!!! Or ask, maybe? For now, ask: later, maybe an undo "stack of commands" where things at the bottom of the stack are done only as new things push them down?
381 more "Forgive the user" kind of stuff.
384 Acceptable chars in dialog.c & gpspoint.c
385 file check if it's a directory for load & save.
390 Do something similar with tools. layer_tools func in interface, then a tools structure, array, or add2menu func. humm
392 Track Colors -- PROBABLY.
394 viktrwlayer_dialog.c -- we MUST do this one.
395 No, even better Idea. framework where properties are stored as RESOURCES for each type of layer.
396 Each type of layer defines it's own resources and the viking layer dialog builder picks it up and draws the dialog.
397 Comments? Format? Fields?
398 Type: check, double/spin (including range, and all other params), string, double/entry, int/entry
399 And then subdivisions (tabs) of that. Track drawing, track colors, waypoints. or Drawing, Colors, ...
401 fix layers_menu_add_layers
402 I've made a mess of the add menu stuff. The add submeny is bad.
403 maybe a itemfactory thing in layer interface (for now, it's OK... but...) at the very least a serializedicon thing in
404 interface so I don't have to serialize it every time... draining resources.
406 -- what if i have one menu with the icons and everything already made, and both vlp and wikwindow adds that? no, then i
407 could't have custom callback data. what if all layer types' itemfactory items were modeled as "Add Layer/TRW Layer" Then
408 I'd have an add layer menu in each?
414 Waypoint Symbols, get started. symbols.c where i have a Name->ID mapping, then an ID->icon mapping. Get Started on Icons.
417 Fix Some Bugs, Clean up Some Code.
418 Bulk Map Downloader (maybe another project)
419 renaming waypoints -- overwriting
422 And There's Your Release.
425 fix editing / move bug (ideas?)
426 copy & paste individual tracks & waypoints
427 tracks & waypoint ordering (?!)
428 don't forget about track SEGMENTs !!! (shoot for 0.0.5; should be in by 0.0.6)
429 vik_trw_layernew_track like waypoint. or maybe not (need starting point?)
430 I18N -- at least fake ( all strs _() ized)
432 maybe export all visible trw's (nah, merge)
433 select waypoint; break up a track
434 Coordlayer color chooser
436 trw_layer centerize: randompoints & average
437 maybe in item_add get visible and name from the layer / track / whatever itself.
438 ALSO, maybe chane set_name to update_name.
439 show tracks and waypoints (dynamic stuff)!! Copying between layers! YEAH
443 ---------------------------------------

446 | "Not all those who wander are lost" |
447 ---------------------------------------
448 Track & Waypoint sorting
449 Convert to GLIB Gobjects for layers
453 select waypoints; select trackpoints; selet track segments; measuring track & segment length; analyzing trackpoint altitude
454 & time by selecting it; color by altitude/
455 Copy & Paste Layer (see below)
458 copying between layers: sublayer_add_menu_items () -> copy -> static pointer for layers panel, or whole process.
459 two ways of doing it: layer2copy & sublayer2copy, or general purpose "cliboard" var. on paste, layer / aggregate layer figures it out.
460 I vote for "layer2copy" and "sublayer2copy". That way, each layer can check if it can paste the sublayer and paste layer will always be there.
461 then you need a duplicate function for each thing you want to copy. shouldn't be too bad.
465 0.0.6 "Where no man has gone before"
467 Map Download Background Thread
473 show different fields on side: altitude, time, etc. sort by these. maybe a layer edit dialog box.
484 make your own timestamp
485 CACHE MAP SERVER IP; RETURN ERROR FOR WHY DOESNT WORK
486 MAP DOWNLOAD PROGERESS (!)
487 more g_asserts ... lots more
490 ----------------------------------------
491 ========================================
492 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
493 fix tracks thing: STILL BUGS ! and clean up function maybe?
494 start noplace, when open file start in middle of there
495 clarification of new / open ( add to or what? maybe add to in layer; merge layer stuff )
496 status bar: don't overlap stuff
500 coordlayer -- ticks only
501 tick marks or lines for utm lines so you can tell where you are (TickLayer)
503 Intelligent Map Caching: knows which way you're going ... just something to think about.
508 choosable gcs including background
509 Maybe each track has it's own GC? Just a thought.
510 Tools, explore etc. tools menu. tools window / bar
512 status bar for track info, etc.
516 glist for routes (pointer directly to string used in ghashtable key? possible?) and tracks.
