twander 3
=========

- Remove dependence on mutex module and replace with
  semaphore/queue model.

- Put indicator in individual associations or ! assoc
  to indicate that the test should be done case-insensitive.

- Change file size scaling algorithm to provide tenths
  resolution: e.g. 1.4g

- Make width of display fields (at least some of them) tunable
  in the configuration file.

- 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.

- 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.

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


- More OO model - each instance of the program is an object
  OR ... should each directory view be an object?

- Support general plugin mechanism.  Plugin could then have access to
  all current directory views' features (files, selections, hidden,
  etc.)

- 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.

- Dynamically size display column widths based on actual
  content rather than fixed worst-case field widths.

- 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.

- Automatic updater
