twander 3
=========

- Support 'twander file file file ...' as an invocation option
  to mean: Set DSELECTIONS to the file list and run SELKEY on
  them (to take advantage of file associations somehow).

  . Possible enhancement: If a directory is specified anywhere
    on the command line it implies that twander remain running
    initialized on that dir.  If not, the files are executed and
    twander terminates.

- Offer option to suppress symbolic link expansion, and show only
  as a file or directory.

- Fix this or offer an option to turn off canonicalization.

- Support tilde (~/) expansion in config file.

- Rethink selection preservation across refreshes. Currently if a new
  file is added or deleted the selection will move up- or down- accordingly
  because Tkinter selections are based on index position. See if it
  could be done by filename instead.

 
COMPLETED
=========

- Implemented option to display date/time in  ISO 8601 format (ISODATE,
  default: False)

- Removed trailing spaces from lines in sample configuration file.


Version 4 Future
================


- More OO model - each instance of the program is an object

- Mechanism to save current state in a separate file

  . Save current size/position

  . Persistent clipboards / preload values into clipboard

  . Current values of directory shortcuts

  . User toggled options


- Split new directory processing into queue producer-harvester
  model.

- Implement HIDE=regex  configuration file feature.

- DRIVELIST on Unix: Display mount points

- Enhance configuration language:

  . Anonymous commands - no command key

  . Need smarter quoting mechanisms

    - Escape blanks when FORCEUNIXPATH is active
    - Offer quoted and non-quoted version of the builtins

  . Switch configuration language to tconfpy

  . Named directory ALIASes:

      FOO = /a/b/c

    Means you can type FOO in response to a cd dialog and
    get sent to a/b/c

- Figure out how to get the dialog fonts/sizes to track
  the rest of the program. (Perhaps replace with my own?)

- Also possibly the titlebar fonts.
