[Beaver-devel] bugs and feature wishlists

[Stephen Depooter]

So I've been using beaver from CVS HEAD for all my coding recently and
have come across a few bugs and features that I wish beaver had.

bugs:
Clicking the Close button repeatedly to close a bunch of files appears
to have caused the preferences file to be erased or overwritten with a
blank file.  I only had this occur once and couldn't reproduce it
since.  Not sure if this was a one time thing or not.  Likely a obscure
bug somewhere.

Printing doesn't work at all.  Printing a document just gives an error
message in the status bar.  I haven't looked into this at all.  A quick
look at gtksourceview appears to suggest that it provides printing
functionality.  If I get some time, I'll take a look at it.


Features:
There is no keyboard shortcut to change tabs in the editor window. 
Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDown seem to be the GTK/GNOME defaults in most
tabbed applications.  I suspect that this is a small change to the UI
code.  Again, when I have time, I'll take a look.

Session Management.  I would like a capability to save a session or have
it save the list of files that were last open when Beaver is closed. 
This way when you reopen Beaver, the previous session can automatically
open, or there could be a menu item to open it.  This would make working
on a set of related files much easier.  I have no idea if this is the
type of thing that the session manager can do for an application or
whether it is something that would have to be managed specifically by
Beaver.  

As I am on a school term currently, I tend not to have a lot of time
available although for the next while, I might have more time.  I'll see
what I can do.  

Any suggestions or feedback would be welcome.
