Warp Wish List 2014

This are the summary of ideas took from the "BrainStorm: Wish list for OS/2 and eComStation" thread on Nov 2014.

Drivers

 * ACPI:
 * Activate external screen/projector using function keys (related to (2) above)
 * Suspend/resume (for those with laptops)


 * Video Drivers:
 * Updated SNAP
 * SNAP for integrated Intel video with Multihead (3 times 1920x1200 resolution)
 * Panorama: Resolution change without reboot support.
 * Panorama: Support for the external VGA/HDMI port to connect it without reboot.


 * WLAN adapter drivers
 * Intel adapters


 * Bluetooth


 * USB3


 * Audio
 * Multiple sound streams for UniAud (my pet peeve)


 * UEFI and GPT support.

Applications

 * VBOX
 * new VBOX with clipboard and full network support


 * SeaMonkey
 * Improve the performance of it.
 * Solid Javascript running.


 * Apache Open Office
 * free all mem when closing and with fixed 'sticky window' ticket
 * Free OpenOffice from the Innotek Font Engine, which is crippling it.


 * cmd.exe
 * More than 8k (more than 80x100 char buffer)


 * Editors
 * Up to date VisualSlickEdit


 * OpenGL


 * TCPIP v6 stack


 * Video Conference App
 * Skype


 * Java Update
 * PMMail
 * Make PMMail able to directly display Unicode text (a weakness which is rapidly rendering it unusable for modern work).

GUI Improvements

 * 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.

System Limitations

 * Solving the shared memory problem
 * Fixed FPE (floating point exception (?) which crashes QT and other apps)
 * (Libc066 has a fix/workaround for this, apps will need rebuilding)
