TODO UTTERLY SOON
=================

==========================
BUGS To be handled soonish
==========================
- drawing on an image doesn't mark it as dirty
- Adding a new ListSelect will not show it up initially.
- renaming a category should not result in the listselect being placed
different in the image property page.
- Config window layout should be saved when a new tab has been created.
- the tips of the day screen only shows up randomly.
- searches using the description field should be case insensitive.

=======================
BUGS of less importance
=======================
- In the group editor (options->group), ensure that no cycles are created.
- When going back in the thumbnail view, the view is positioned at the top,
  rather than at its last current position.

==============================
Features for a soonish version
==============================
- make KimDaBa a KPart (talk to cschum@suse.de, schumacher@kde.org)
- For removing properties:
  I think a good solution would be:

  Just delete the property from one or an image list with deselecting it.
  If there are 3 images selected, and one doesn't have the property,
  you can mark it grey.
  with clicking on it, it changes from white (delete from all)
  then marked (yellow in my kde-theme) - (set all)
  and again grey (leave as is)

  This is the behaviour of many programs with possibilities to select many 
  items and change some properties (mostly checkboxes)
- make it possible to specify dates in other formats in the image config dialog
- improve the spelling support, so the user get the benefit of the config dialog.
- Find all images with changed checksums (rather than merely
  recompute the checksum).  This would help identify images
  requiring backup.
- Adding blinking icons to the splash screen.
- Choose a default category image, as Jean-Michel suggest (for category
  image of Anne Helene):
  Pick the first picture with ONLY Anne Helene (itīs likely to be more
  specific to recognize Anne Helene)
  If it doesnīt work, pick the first picture with Ann Helen
  If it doesnīt work, the default KDE icon, just like today.
  The problem here is speed. Currently it is not possible to load these images
  using the image manager, so say 300 images would take approx 1 minute to load.
- Make it possible to use the thumbnail standard
  (http://jens.triq.net/thumbnail-spec/) 
- The image display window should show the zoom-factor in the
caption
- when using the back button, the window should position it correctly rather than at
the top of the view. Thus if I in a persons view select Pete, then when
going back to that persons view, Pete should be visible.
-  When no selection is active, pgup/pgdn in the viewer work as if all
pictures were selected.
- The "current image"/cursor are kept synchronized between the
  thumbnails navigator, the viewer, and the keyword editor (C-1). In
  particular, when hitting C-I while several images are selected,
  display first the image on which the cursor currently is.
- Use clickable breadcrumbs as commonly used on the web, where each
  level in the hierarchy is a clickable link, allowing the user to
  easily go back multiple levels with one click.  On the web they often
  appear something like this:
  Shopping >> Men's Clothing >> Outdoor gear
- In the viewer it should be possible to click on the date, and get it to
limit to that date.
- Store URI in the XML file rather than relative names from a root dir.
  Advantages are:
  - It'd be possible to have the xml-file somewhere completely outside of
    the image-tree so that you could, for example, have the images
    themselves on a read-only media.  
  - It'd be possible to work with a image-directory accessed over any of
    the protocols for which there are kioslaves.  
  - It'd be possible to include images from more than one directory.

======================================================================
Features still to be considered (aka not likely to go in next release)
======================================================================
- when specifying options for several images at a time, present items that
  are on all images.
- add kio: kimdaba://places/house
- polish the offline mode, so it might be able to ask for you mounting say
  a cd with the images needed.
- make it possible to specify a pattern for directories to ignore, say .thumbs
- Viewer: make it optional if images should be sized up (that is don't scale
a 32x32 image to 1024x768)
- Export preserves folder layout.  This would be very helpful for
  exporting a set of images for purpose of mirroring them, or for
  backing them up to DVD's in a form that I could easily use to
  restore them later.  The scenario would be that I would select all
  images not previously backed up (by means of a keyword) and export
  them preserving layout, and dump the exported tree to DVD.
- add a DCOP interface to KimDaBa
