Em Adespoton's Journal: JHL Feature Requests

Grab JHL here.

This journal entry got archived, so go here to continue the discussion.

Also, emulation.net has moved to a new URL until the DNS issues can be resolved. The current domain rental expires in 2009, so it probably won't be usable again for some time unless a miracle happens.

Bug Reports

[Em Adespoton]

Just noticed that admin highlighting takes precedence over self highlighting in chat text. Might want to fix that.

New Folder doesn't appear to work.

Persistent Dialog Paths

[Em Adespoton]

Right now, jhl always goes to my home dir when a file dialog comes up; it'd be good if it could auto go to the last used path.

Re:Persistent Dialog Paths

[Em Adespoton]

Fixed in 0.0.12.

Persistent Filepath on refresh

[Em Adespoton]

Subject says it all :)

Re:Persistent Filepath on refresh

Fixed in version 0.0.11.

Ideas

[johnlunney]

I had some little ideas that would make JHL a lot easier to use, for me at least. 1) A Windows menu, and a Cycle Windows keystroke, so I can look quickly at my servers. 2) Chat as the first tab in the bar. 3) A more obvious way to save a bookmark. 4) More key-strokes in general (Cmd-W for example). 5) An icon for the app (I can make up a bundle if you want). That's all for the moment. -johnl

Server name in Title Bar

[Em Adespoton]

It'd be nice to have the server name in the title bar of the window so I could tell at a glance which server window I was looking at.

Text filtering

[Em Adespoton]

Just thought of a couple of features for version 0.1.0... keyword filtering in chat/messages/news where that line/message/article gets filtered out if the keyword is present -- the keyword would be stored in the prefs file.

Secondly, an "ignore on keyword" where if that keyword was used, the user would be auto-ignored from that time on.

As a bonus, banning as well as kicking, if it isn't already implemented.

post 0.0.10 requests

[Em Adespoton]

Add a preference item that affects tab load order.

Also, add the ability to override the default prefs if any prefs tags are found in the bookmark file.

Plus, some mild encryption for the password would be nice :)
