BrainStorm: Wish list for OS/2 and eComStation
Martin Iturbide:
Hi
I want to do some little brainstorm and try to put over the table the needs that we have on the OS2-eCS platform.
- What do you need on the OS/2-eCS platform?
- Which software is on your Wishlist that could run on OS2-eCS?
- Is there any service(s) that we are missing compared to other platforms?
- Anything that you consider cool on other platforms that will be good to implement on OS2-eCS?
Please just through your ideas, not matter if those are too simple, crazy or too complicated. I don't want to discuss the feasibility of the idea (yet), just the content of it.
Note: I just want to brainstorm here and try to consolidate some ideas, if you think it is a waste of time, please don't comment and move to other discussion on the forum.
Andi B.:
- SNAP for integrated Intel video with Multihead (3 times 1920x1200 resolution)
- solving the shared mem problem
- new VBOX with clipboard and full network support
- fast Seamonkey (not slower than on other platforms) and where some (java)scripts do not bring down the whole browser
- AOO which does free all mem when closing and with fixed 'sticky window' ticket
- cmd.exe with more than 8k (more than 80x100 char buffer)
- fixed FPE (floating point exception (?) which crashes QT and other apps)
- WLAN adapter drivers
- up to date VisualSlickEdit
Ok enough for now. If I would spend another minute the list would probably 3 times as long :-)
Martin Iturbide:
Thanks Andi B.
Just throwing some ideas to the air too:
- Panorama: Resolution change without reboot support.
- Panorama: Support for the external VGA/HDMI port to connect it without reboot.
My user experience wish list is listed on the "Comments and Suggestions about eComStation User Experience" article on the Wiki:
- The "quiet" boot.
- The Boot Logo Animation
- GUI - The Navigator
- GUI – The Desktop Structure
- Installed Apps Shortcuts Reorganization
- GUI – Icon Format
- GUI – eCenter Size / Icon Size
- Directory and File Structure
- The User Files Structure
- Improved GUI Themes.
- Save As / Open file dialog box (Open source)
- Copy/Replace File Dialogs updates
- The tray configuration (very simple)
- Updating the Launchpad.
- Revive "the monster" - XWorkplace.
David McKenna:
Items not already being worked on:
-Multiple sound streams for UniAud (my pet peeve)
-Updated OpenGL
-Updated VBox
-Updated SNAP
-USB3
-Intel WiFi drivers
-Bluetooth
I also agree with Andi B's comments on AOO and Seamonkey, but they are in development...

Libc066 has a fix/workaround for this, apps will need rebuilding
