TODO

This is a list of features or feature requests for consideration in future releases or as integrated plugins.


 * Note: this list is rarely up to date. See the TODO file in the SVN trunk for up-to-date information.


 * search functionality
 * move cachingloader to utils and use when loading external elements
 * thumbnail overview of pages -- plugin
 * index (as in more complex index than possible with nav)
 * and/or (the same?): lookup (word reference in back of book) -- plugin
 * youtube video element -- necessary? i.e., maybe possible to just use img + crossdomain xml? -- works using Security.allowDomain, but player gui isn't really "animation friendly"... will try an element that uses the so-called "chromeless player" one day
 * some sort of dataprovider class, which per default accesses the file system, but may be extended (or maybe interface, then implemented) to get data from somewhere else
 * flex connector (plugin) + wrapper -- once i find the time to play around more with flex...
 * sound player element -- add gui to snd element
 * menubar: pdf download -- probably plugin
 * print functionality -- plugin... some time
 * add print button to menu;
 * has disabled version;
 * enable for pages with according attribute (print="");
 * http://blog.tikikitchen.com/2008/04/18/printing-in-flash-in-1000000000-simple-steps
 * alternative video player? (not FLVPlayback)
 * allow titles to be images -- probably not, because of memory needed...
 * contextmenu with 'show image' for images -- maybe
 * rendering glitches when pages get really small (either small page size or when zooming out)
 * backdrop for pages at the sides to give more depth -- will probably need some graphics, dynamic generation looks horrible
 * add option to keep all elements with an id in memory at all times (for interaction) and also load them all in the beginning -- necessary, i.e. is there anyone who really wants this?
 * page tear (remove pages from the book by tearing them out)
 * different page sizes (at least for covers) -- this could get ugly, i fear...
 * xml parameter: update browser title according to anchor name
 * url="action:elementID.functionname(params)" -- would be kewl, but needs a basic parser... maybe as a plugin some time
 * make Flash component (SWC?) for use in Flash IDE -- no experience with this whatsoever
