 Must do

 -------

 Q_CHECK_PTR

 public/private

 Ensure rethrows from second loadData on upwards

 Report errors in all slot code

 Rework error handling in prefs

 Generally maintain Preference class

   Implement missing interface methods

 Review destruction of all members, compare with setupPrefs

 Some menus are defined QPopupMenu in header, some in code

 Memory optimization needed in tidataops

 Check all identifiers for undeutig unique scope

 Remove magic numbers from cpp files to titconst like TITRAQ_INDEXREMARK

 Some signals implemented in Titraqform really belong in satellite classes

 Write M4 macro for detecting cuserid, and prefer it in ac_assist

 configure soll ueberpruefen ob libqt[-mt] threads braucht,

   dann wenn so, soll den LIBS -pthread hardgecodet haben

 Read config location from optional --confgen autoconf location

 IDs in as_const.h much better choosing, so they make sense

 Be consistent with szQString vs QString var names

 After every result write a status bar message

 On multiple selection, no text should appear in edit ctrls

 Make consistent setEdition(), setDirty() default parameters

 Use namespace 'AS' or unique identifier 'AS' for all classnames

 Unify class mycl = class(), class mycl(), class *pMycl, auto_ptr<class *>

 Win32 code in User class is only half written, and incomplete homedir

 Verify routine consistently scans all fields on load and new entries

 Remove all exception raises from slot code

 New doc, new entry, change text in table, close... No verify save!

 Might not need classes Amount and Tableitem at all

 Mach mal mit den 'autobackup' und 'fextension' Optionen von prefs

 Check for outdated config file version

 Make status bar message, qWarning, qDebug, and Popup messages consistent

   For which purposes do messages go in each category?

 Label methods and parameters throughout as const ... const, use &

 Yank out all #include from headers, replace with class ...; protos

 Check for empty amount field in getWeektotals before Hashtasks[Convstring] +=

 Accountlistbox is sorted both in assist and dataops with maps

 Verify that unviewable rows are not redrawn cerr << "Rownum" << nRow << endl;

 Also, use bool QTable::isRowHidden (int nRow) const

 Don't raise the question 'Save before quitting' when no contents were changed

 Bugs (? = unverified)

 ---------------------

 Overidden paintCell() might not work when called asynchronously?

 Sometimes a click on add or delete toolbar button is ignored?

 When multiple new rows are added sometimes wrong row shading?

 When sorting rows, sometimes a false extra highlight appears

 Disabled actions still show enabled icons in menu popups

 Pressing escape on task data cells does not exit edit mode

 On win32, all or some file reads and writes probably need IO_Translate?

 Method saveData(stream) must write to a new file, otherwise writes data pattern

 CRCs are being generated before parsing of "" is finished?

 Double click on column separator is broken again

 Zeitabzug moeglicherweise falsch wenn 23:00-01:00=?

 Statustext soll nicht neben Pixmaps erscheinen

 Loesch mal alle Text vom Task Editctrl, dann drueck mal Obentaste

 Memory leak in vector<QRadioButton> as_panel

 Opendoc, schau amount unten Knopf (ist dimmed)

 Reporting only works if event data is sorted by date

 Press Return then Tab many times to see invalid selections

 Does not enter edit mode for a cell when double click

 Some versions (as.de.cw.net:/v/as-old/sw), double click to

   edit a cell, add two characters, click X to close without

   leaving the cell. It should ask to save doc, but doesn't.

 Nice to have

 ------------

 Implement drag and drop selected row swapping

 Implement an unlimited and generic undo and redo buffer class

 Support pasting into as_gui from other app (like vim)

 Add optional automatic file personal data file backup

 Make edit control window optional through preferences

 Add customizable column ordering by click and drag

 Soll mehr intuitive, mit sekondaer/dritte Keycolumn

 CRC und Rev sollen nicht in gleiche Methode berechnet

 No need to have upd slots for non-changeable upd controls

 Before openDoc, closeEvent should be used instead of new code

 Align CRC field data to left edge of table items

 Make Simplefile class non-Qt specific

 Read and write karm format files with file extension detection

 Offer general option 'Use vim keymap'

 Text revisions

   Title case, sentence case, or lower case

   Past tense, third person, style, usage...

 Make consistent when version is shown in titlebar of all dialogs

 Runtime help system should not depend on installtime documentation

 App should start even if no accounts file is found

 Fully vimize all input widgets by subclassing them (w - back word)

 Reload accountlist on startup, but reload during 'Open Doc' as well

 Better file validation, instead of just single line validateData op

 Freetext field, for copyright or some announcement (this data isn't

   accurate enough for billing purposes). Field can be optionally

   shown above main table, but always dimmed to avoid accidental edit.

 Check for account list updates (checkbox), to allow a local user to

   query a CORBA or SOAP server for a new account list via accessors:

     U32 Account::getCrc(void)

     Acctlist Account::getData(void)

 Reimplement void QTable::swapRows, so that rows can be moved easily

 Update edit controls only after return from TiTable::createEditor()

 Appealing billing features

 --------------------------

 'Billable' column checkbox

 Chroot type reporting (for a single customer)

 Screwey user notes ;-)

 ----------------------

 cs:  'd' should not delete at once but flag the record as deleted.  Use '$' to sync (similar to mutt)

 cs:  first 'TAB' should complete (if possible), second 'TAB' should open selection box (similar to bash)

 cs:  line numberscould be referenced when entering accounts ala bash history ('!4' = record #4)

 mlelstv: 24:00 muss als Valideintrag im Finishfeld erlaubt

 thl: / should enable the user to search for something

 thl: using = should force a recalculation for a time field

 thl: using ~ should round a time field to the next quarter (configurable)

 Architectural

 -------------

 Decouple form, preferences, and RPC classes

 Remove common class behaviours (quitApp, close...) to abstract classes

 Win32

 -----

 Rework username, homedir, and confdaten (hive) logic

 Preferences

 -----------

 <option name wert>      Hintergrund Functionalitaet

 <aspect name wert>      Sichtliche Functionalitaet

 <session name wert>     Automatisch gespeicherte

 <rule name expr cond>   Amount = Finish - Start (mussen alle da z.B.)

   Paste

 </macro name = 'Reuse'>

 <macro name = 'Append'>

   Geh zu letzte Reihe

   Zufug Reihe

 </macro name = 'Append'>

 Code snippits

 -------------

 // Portable processes

 QProcess *Proc;

 Proc = new QProcess;

 Proc->setArguments("/usr/local/bin/nada");

 bool ok = Proc->start();

 > Does anyone know how to set the WhatsThis text for a QPushButton?.

 > Met vriendelijke groet

 Use the static QWhatsThis::add()

 Architecture Inconsistencies

   o Some custom classes are thinly veiled Qt classes. Others

     are completely different, but with similar functionality.

   o Several classes are immense, and should be split into

     into easier to read pieces.

   o Some classes should be abstracted and new subclasses built.

 Implementation

   o Too procedural for my taste. Many methods should be merged

     or split and grouped into new classes or such.

 Naming

   o Hungarian notation is only used to 90% potential.

   o Inconsistent length and abbreviations.

   o Conventions suggested on Qt website not followed.

 Error handling

   o No standardized return values.

   o C++ exceptions used inconsistently.

 Memory handling

   o Smart pointers should be used in all exception code blocks.

   o A consistent policy of automatic versus dynamic pointer

     variables should be used in all classes.
