X added constant for h264 encoding
X though it doesn't seem to actually work... oh well

0125p4 (in progress)
_ book stuff
_ on linux, drag and drop didn't accept
_ gets a zillion different items that come in
_ add gnome-open/kde-open for with PApplet.open()
_ adding a file to the sketch that already exists gives no confirm
_ sometimes one item showing up twice
_ (Table.pde showed twice after failed add)
_ add open (-a?) on osx to the open() command
_ move examples folder to top-level menu?
_ move open menu to its own?
_ keywords/reference
X map is going to null reference, not colored properly
X add beginRaw, endRaw, map to keywords.txt
X general issue when reference not found, going to 'null' reference
X do a trim() on the selection for find in reference
X reorganize find in reference commands
X add setDTR() method from tom hulbert
X moviemaker is broken
X updatePixels reference was cut off
_ double-check this after rebuild of reference
_ made changes to keywords.txt, but this is broken--it's autogenerated
_ find in reference problems
_ ? doesn't work with find in reference (actually came up as 'null')
_ "find in ref" on XMLElement brings up ref for null (ha)
_ should we use if() or if in the reference
_ examples
X animated sprite example should use tabs
X reworked all video examples
_ ocd is broken in 0125 - do a better error message for this
_ "Object" example isn't using tabs.. others?
_ object example is also much too complicated
X implement sortCompare() and sortSwap()
_ discuss this with casey
_ also could be using Arrays.sort(blah) with Comparable (1.2+)
_ make sorting functions static?
_ disallow .java tabs with same name as the sketch
_ a .java tab with same name as the sketch is allowed (oog!)
_ particularly look at "save as" scenario
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=543
_ bug report:
_ create a new sketch, write something in it
_ create a new tab, name it "something.java", write something into it
_ rename main tab (sketch) to "something" (without ".java")
_ the contents in the files are not the same, but the main-tab is
_ showing the contents of the .java tab, so if you press save
_ you will overwrite your original code from the main-tab.
_ add present mode bgcolor to prefs
_ option in preferences to set the jvm used to run? (osx only?)
_ this would take care of nasty macosx 1.4 vs 1.5 issues
_ /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.3.1/Commands/java
_ /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Commands/java
_ /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java
_ canonical path for
_ /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK
_ will return 1.5.0 (or maybe 1.6 for others?)
_ add basic guidelines for posting to the board
_ 1. don't double (or triple) post
_ 2. if you're having trouble, first see the troubleshooting page
_ 3. if you have a bug, first search the bugs database
_ 4. first check the FAQ
_ 5. use the search bar at the top of every page
X also need the "find in reference" to work on linux
o find in ref is prolly also why +x may be required for .html on osx
X make "show sketch folder" work on linux
_ add notes to the docs about how to fix if not working
_ http://processing.org/reference/environment/platforms.html#linux
X add for "show sketch folder" option
X show the menu but dim if the command is not available
X gnome-open, kde-open, "kfmclient exec blah"
o file bug re: qtjava being compiled for 1.5 on the intel macs
o because 1.4 isn't available on 10.3.9, this is ridiculous
_ remove 'patch' designation from bugzilla
charset changes
_ need to set a default charset for use in files (utf8)
_ add option to change charset or specify as part of loading
_ xml element needs to be readable from other charsets
_ same with the other methods like loadStrings()
_ could also be a way to handle gzip too?
_ tho charset + gzip would be a problem
_ hint(ENABLE_AUTO_GUNZIP) or rather hint(DISABLE_AUTO_GUNZIP)
_ switching into present mode in info.plist
<key>LSUIPresentationMode</key>
<integer>4</integer>
// from color sorting example
float sortCompare(int a, int b) {
return bright[a] - bright[b];
}
void sortSwap(int a, int b) {
int t1 = bright[a];
bright[a] = bright[b];
bright[b] = t1;
Tuple t2 = captureColors[a];
captureColors[a] = captureColors[b];
captureColors[b] = t2;
}

_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=585
0126
_ move to multiple sketches open at a time
_ set title of window to the sketch name
_ on first save, ask for the name of the project (with default)
_ cmd-opt-r for rename?
_ save/saveas should use modal dialog
_ only use the bottom bar for naming
0127
_ dynamic tools menu (requires moving files around)
_ this means can integrate the autoformat stuff
_ finish up debian package support (see the processing.mess folder)
LIBRARIES / Net
_ move the useful serial buffering fxns into net library
_ make the Client list public
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Syntax;action=display;num=1116056805
_ add an event to Server that notifies when a Client disconnects
_ proccessing.net.Client.write(int) terminates sketch when client disconnects.
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=537
_ is this the same issue?
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=LibraryProblems;action=display;num=1180713192
_ Server.write(bytes[]) hangs sketch on client disconnect.
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=538
_ java.extension.dirs has the library/extn stuff
_ can probably set this blank
_ the jar from which a class file has been loaded
_ getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getFile()
_ don't allow for (blah; blah; blah) ;
_ or if (blah blah blah) ;
_ it's never useful. students can use { } if they want an empty block
_ "one file added to sketch" should be more descriptive
_ Added "blah.jpg" to the data folder of the sketch
_ cmd-w doesn't close window of opened applet (running inside p5)
_ ESC won't cancel rename
_ rename location is awkward, do it on the tab?
_ map() is not colored, neither is norm
_ pdf examples are shot
_ change pde files to use utf8
_ 1) if file contains binary data and
_ 2) its mod date is earlier than when p5 0125 was installed
_ offer to convert it, or ignore
_ then re-save the file to update the mod date
_ ...or, when first running p5 0125, offer to update sketches
_ the first time someone hides a tab, put up a msg explaining what it does
_ "don't warn me about this anymore"
_ add "don't warn me about this" for sketch renaming
_ make sure renamed version doesn't exist already
_ archive sketch shouldn't include applet or application dirs
_ or should it? this was how projects were being uploaded for class...
_ add to mac reference for present mode
_ can make full screen work via Info.plist key
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Syntax;action=display;num=1135921427;start=7#7
_ add to troubleshooting
_ problem with big floats:
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Syntax;action=display;num=1061302380
_ problem with small floats:
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Programs;action=display;num=1115500448
_ with additional .pde files, don't allow static mode in front tab
libraries and classpaths [1.0]
_ add control for dependencies (i.e. svg needs xml), needed for export
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=518
_ add "pretty menu name" to the export.txt file
_ more export.txt to xml? (nah, it's only flat information)
_ need better platform designation setup for libs
_ library installation should use the sketchbook folder, not the p5 folder
_ actually enforce this, give users a warning about other libs
_ need to deal with classpath conflicts
_ avoid garbage that people have installed on their machines
_ antlr.jar in the classpath will cause trouble..
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1138652326
_ jogl jar files, or jogl install will cause trouble
_ /System/Library/Extensions or /Library/Extensions
_ when a conflicting library is found, need to report it
_ altho prolly only when it's actually different (md5hash it?)
_ this seems to be causing a lot of trouble with recent releases
_ (opengl changes and whatnot)
_ jar files like the bad aiexport plugin will cause serious problems
_ need to ignore processing.core classes showing up in other jar files
_ tougher than it looks, because it all depends on what java wants to use
_ i.e. even if not specified, the stuff will be in the classpath
_ need to make classpath code be less promiscuous
_ the order of adding libraries to classpath should be opposite
_ the important local libraries should be first in cp, user contrib later
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=321
_ stop button needs to update itself and work properly [1.0]
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=396
_ can draw() not be run on awt event thread?
_ look into opengl stuff for dealing with this
_ don't reload sketch on "save as"
_ this can result in loss of data
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=433
_ 'code' folder being ignored on export to application
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=469
_ PApplet.this doesn't work (does it work in javac?)
_ sketchname.this also doesn't work, because Temporary_NNNN used for name
_ but since it's another tab/class, will run externally
_ so should make the external version use the actual sketch name not temp
_ can't use PApplet.this, doesn't seem to like that
_ instead, must pass variable to inner class
_ make more fixes to the key bindings

_ install astyle formatter
_ build on each platform, then "lipo -create astyle.* -output astyle"
_ after sketch -> add file, no confirmation message is shown
Must have for 1.0:
> a,c) P2D to return, P2D to simply return in its previous form
> f) Java 1.5 support (jikes won't let you use Java 1.5 constructs)
> h) fix auto-format
For 2.0
> b) P2D to be accurate like JAVA2D
> e) Java 1.1 support (we're now limited to 1.3)
> g) support for running with user accounts that have umlauts/accents/etc
> d) strokeWeight() for 3D objects, even if it's ugly
LIBRARIES / svg
_ when using get(), reset the bounds for the objects
_ otherwise it's always relative to the original document
_ save/restore more of the p5 graphics drawing state
_ not setting colorMode(), strokeCap, etc.
_ support for text (shouldn't be too bad, use createFont)
_ implement text spans for svg output
_ get entity tags working in xml library
_ try enabling blending modes
_ add better support for attributes buried in styles (support ai9/10/11)
_ test what happens when transparency is used with gradient fill
_ look into transformation issues... guessing this is probably wrong
_ this may be what's throwing off the radial radius transform
_ implement A and a (arcs)
_ check for any other pieces of missing path api
_ multiple sets of coordinates after a command not supported
_ i.e. M with several coords means moveto followed by many linetos
_ also curveto with multiple sets of points is ignored
_ document somehow.. svg viewer will be discontinued
_ http://www.adobe.com/svg/eol.html
LIBRARIES / xml
_ need to handle how save() works inside xml lib
_ need to handle <!ENTITY tags for svg documents
_ vectors shouldn't be exposed, need to expose attr lists as arrays
_ or also add a method for getting the vectors?
_ when running externally, set window frame title to the sketch name
_ is this only a problem on macosx?
processing wish list
_ opening multiple versions of p5 at a time
_ shouldn't actually be a big deal
_ would also help the opening multiple files thing
_ TRIANGLE_STRIP not highlighted for "find in reference"
_ nor is it listed on the reference page
_ so students can't find the ref for it
_ needs to link TRIANGLE_STRIP to the beginShape() reference
_ stop button not stopping anything
_ copy running code from /tmp/buildXXxxx on crash of p5
_ should probably make a way to save/recover code
_ code as columns (screen is wide, code is not)
_ lots of runtime exceptions still being lost on osx
_ particularly with multi-threaded applications
_ macosx dropping exceptions all the time.. grr
_ solution is to export, and then see how it runs
_ this is particularly bad with threaded applications
Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
processing/core/PApplet
at processing.serial.Serial.<init>(Serial.java:156)
generally, that error means that something is missing from the
CLASSPATH. the NoClassDefError gives erroneous feedback about *what*
class is actually missing, as of java 1.3+ (yay!)
so perhaps conflicting versions of a library in the sketchbook (solve
this by setting to an empty sketchbook temporarily) or files might be
installed in the CLASSPATH variable or something conflicting in
/System/Library/Extensions.
_ add server/client notification thing for the nyu guys

_ add a notation to the bugs site re: reading the faq and searching first
X move p5 site bug reporting to bugzilla
_ do the same for suggestions
_ and detail the suggestions policy on the dev site: diy
_ post a page explaining the bug reporting system
DOC / Text
_ how to use textMode(SHAPE) with opengl
_ things will be extremely slow (fix later)
_ things will also be very ugly on-screen
_ text being nicer in java2d
_ use createFont() to load the font or use a font from your machine
_ note that createFont() is no good for applets/export to web
_ textMode(SCREEN) for P2D and P3D for nice fast text in screen space
_ currently slow in JAVA2D and OPENGL, but this will improve
_ what is the vlw font file format?
_ createFont() needs to run 1.3+, and not in applets
_ where is the bug reference for this.. and can it be fixed?
_ shapes from 3D type
_ the way to do it (will improve later) is to use some undocumented features
_ 1) you have to use the OPENGL renderer
_ 2) use textMode(SHAPE);
_ 3) use createFont() (which you already are)
_ this will convert all the shape data from the fonts for writing.
_ it will be *extremely* slow, which is part of why it's not documented yet.
_ but it will work with beginRaw().
DOC / Integration

_ just get export to application working so this can be supported
_ for now, they're stuck w/ running in the env and getting the ugliness
_ if size() not found in export/compile, ask the user

_ make history folder, and a zip (not gz) file for each entry
_ history causing trouble - super slow with a huge sketch
_ could instead be gzipped and appended to history.dat
_ along with another file that is actually a table of offsets
_ no need to make the thing a gzip stream
_ checkbox on menu for 'record history' ?
_ history converter option?
_ only first 20 entries visible?
_ shortcut to walk through history, ala photoshop (ctrl-alt-z)
_ zlib file becoming corrupt (not flushed after close?)
_ make hooks to history api so others can write tools around it
PDE / Preferences

_ saved window positions.. if displays has changed, becomes a problem
_ record the display that it was on?
_ GraphicsDevice gd = frame.getGraphicsConfiguration().getDevice();

_ (from 0, 0 to width, height)
_ messy since some displays have negative coords
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=72
_ split Preferences and PreferencesFrame?
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=74
_ preferences window has been hit with the ugly stick
_ redo panel to use proper Box layout etc
_ also needs to look good across all platforms

_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Syntax;action=display;num=1130781367;start=2#2
_ add ability to set the display where present mode makes things start
PDE / Runner
_ make the p5 icon show up for the window (and in the dock)
_ when launching a new sketch
_ does closing the window call stop()?
_ need to make sure hitting stop button and closing window explicitly call
_ stop() not working very well
_ as a result, dispose() methods aren't being called on libraries
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=77
_ NullPointerException inside setup() comes up weird
_ because NullPointerException is a RuntimeException
_ maybe the renderer exception is something different? newrendex?
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=78
_ exception in setup() on external app doesn't kill run button
_ also doesn't kill external vm
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=79
_ quitting from present mode doesn't kill run button
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=80
_ exceptions in draw() apps aren't caught
_ the program resize(200, 200); just does nothing (doesn't complain)
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=81
_ weird exception in the run button watcher
_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=42
PDE / Sketch & Sketchbook
_ ArticulatePrint-070103a.pde from ArticulatePrint-070103a loads ok
_ but when opening the sketch, it leaves out the file
_ because there's a dash in the name
_ and instead only loads StemCell.pde
_ show progress dialog during export and save
_ slow save/new because of large sketchbook
_ this is a total cluster, the rebuild is being called incessantly
_ startup is very slow on g4
_ show progress bar while rebuilding sketch menu?
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1162801212
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1141126582
_ even more of a problem becase set modified set true all the time
_ in 0125, only rebuilding on rename or save as, but still a problem
_ don't re-scan all jar files whenever rebuilding sketch menu (cache)
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=579
_ in rebuild sketch menu - disable subfolders working as libraries
_ if a sketch, don't allow subfolders
o or maybe just that libraries must be in the root?
o nah, cuz that would mean can't make subfolder called "libraries"
_ write prefs when opening/saving/etc a file
_ when p5 crashes, want to re-open file easily
_ is the 'hide' option for code dumb? i've never used it
_ should it just hide the code, not actually remove it?
_ do we finish the tabs thing for 1.0? yes
_ could probably be done in a reasonable simple way.. ala eclipse
_ show additional tabs in the dropdown list? show all?
_ robert's tunnel example, why does tunnel not show up as leftmost tab?
_ hitting ESC on "create this, move file, continue" opened anyway
_ may need a progress bar for "save as"
_ or just the file copy function in general
_ since it may take a long time (i.e. 1000s of screen grabs)
_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=82
_ "save as" shouldn't always show save as dialog
_ unless that's the current mode that's being used
_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=83
_ handle renaming with case changes (currently ignores case change)
_ see notes/bitching in Sketch.nameCode()
_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=85
_ setting sketchbook to a folder on a network mounted drive
_ does this work? test on both on mac and pc..
_ or if not, should recommend people against it
_ (i.e. folders disappearing if net has trouble)
_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=87
_ some type of sketch archive format for posting examples (.psk?)
_ would be nice to open a sketch directly from a zip file
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=88
_ maybe just open from a zip file, since psk doesn't help anything

_ convert from alpha to 1.0 syntax
_ acts just like find/replace.. go through and do by hand
_ 3 column input file
_ regexp to find, to replace, human readable description
_ (void\s+)loop(\s+{) -> $1draw$2 (maintain all whitespace stuff)
_ "The loop() method is now called draw() as of beta"
_ "angleMode no longer exists, use radians() around your angles"
_ (comment out the line)
_ tools -> shared code
_ Integrator / FloatThing / CameraStuff -- Update
_ to pull code from a local folder
_ update will update classes from shared in the current folder
_ tools api
_ need to support the basic set of functions that are expected
_ to be used, otherwise it's gonna be total hell when we make a real api
_ getEditor()
_ get/setSelStart/End
_ get/setSelText

_ need method for showing prefs for the tools
_ add pref to handle date vs. increment on archive sketch
_ make dynamically loaded plugins and "tools" menu
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=124
_ break out beautify as its own plugin
_ tools api:
_ init() -> run when p5 is first launched
_ isAvailable() -> true/false whether the option should be dimmed
_ skip this for now, not sending events to tools all the time
_ show() -> open the window or run the tool
_ is there a better name than show() since not all will be visible?
_ maybe it's just a run() method launched via invokeLater()?
_ hide() -> hide the tool's frame
_ getDefaultShortcut() -> returns the default shortcut this tools wants
_ store this in the data file instead
_ needs to be able to get current sketch code
_ look at the pretty-formatting code to see what else needs to be in api
o getMenu() -> return non-null the tool is a submenu
o no, bad idea.. don't want a zillion submenus on things
_ need a proper means to handle command keys for tools
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=140

_ calls export, or only available after export (or when an applet dir exists)
_ warn user that applet html will be over-written
_ add tool to "Add custom html to sketch"
_ that copies applet.html,

TOOLS / Courseware
_ export sketch as applet when uploading
_ save sketch zip files, have a means to load them from "teacher" version of p5
_ figure out how to use the
TOOLS / libraries
_ could have library developers update compatability note
_ so they would need to test library and say "compatible with 0110"
_ before it would automatically update or show as an update
_ tools -> get library
_ library url: [ http://blahblah.org/something ]
_ this would grab something.version, and something.zip
_ maybe something.xml that would include a bunch of background
_ tools -> update libraries
_ this would check the something.version to see if it's newer
_ document how to add libraries: put in sketchbook (not libraries folder)
_ library/download.url and library/home.url
_ if there's a reference subfolder, add that to the help menu
_ and enable it for "find in reference"
TOOLS / Auto Format
_ do a better job of maintaining cursor during beautify
_ only auto format a particular section of code
_ set the 'tabs' var based on how many spaces on previous line
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Proce55ing_Software;action=display;num=1087227217

_ create the tool object on startup, then use thread to getAllFonts()
_ show a progress/status bar while it's happening?
_ (would be useful to at least tell user that system not locked up)
_ create font with user-specified charsets
_ may help solve: http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=98
