provide atk/gail assistive-technology support in all relevant places
plugin-based support for general namespaces, not limited to root of the mounted filesystem, e.g. archives, remote filesystems (via gio/gvfs etc), collected items (probably tagged), chroot
low priority things that can be done when there’s time and interest
add missing API documentation
complete documentation about action arguments
support non-english-ascii letters (replacing dDfFpP etc) in macros
find a way to have those small lines in the treeview as kde/qt or windows provide them
add tooltips to context menus where now missing
find a way to tap into shell’s completion process, to enhance command-line tab completion (not directly possible with bash)
support theming for custom icons
changes that may not be worth the effort
interrogate shared-configuration data for more filetype handlers (but FDO spec is still too immature)
strictly incremental update of displayed filelists (if a reliable change-monitor ever becomes readily and widely available …)
show filetype/dir icons in file lists
undo, for completed file operations (needs lots more cacheing of information about processed items and anything affected by the operation)
custom formatting of hyperlinks displayed in the output pane
known bugs/problems
some default keybindings might not work, if other things’ bindings prevail
auto-refreshing file panes (without FAM/gamin) does not notice item size, mode, ownership changes (consequence of the way the fs works)
auto-refreshing with gamin does not notice most changes involving symlinks (gamin bug)
auto-refreshing with gamin and gnome (at least) and dnotify backend does not notice changes to the trash dir (gamin bug)
sizing of any command-line combobox in a vertical toolbar is illogical (wishlist = gtk support for “drop-across”)
hard links are processed as separate files
refreshing a filelist changes the access time of the displayed directory
for some? gtk versions, recreating filelists creates leaked X memory (gtk bug?) which, if repeated too often, can lead to swap-thrashing and even a hang
gtk (in later versions at least) behaves badly when dragging a column-header boundary to change the column width – at first it thinks it’s dragging selected item(s) !
the output pane captures stdout and stderr messages from child processes, but not from any other process started by a child (“grandchild”)
a command which in turn causes another command to be run using the same glib functionality (g_spawn_async() etc) can hang, because completion of the spawned child command is not reported to its parent application – maybe some intermingling of child exit signals
mnemonic activation of toolbar buttons (when their labels are shown) does not cycle focus between buttons with the same mnemonic key, as it should do. Seems to be a gtk problem related to GtkPaned?
