Roadmap to Parole 0.6

GTK3 transition

  • Use GtkOverlay for (fullscreen-)play-controls?
  • Draw the GtkOverlay player controls with cairo
    • Fix GtkOverlay staying atop the gst-video-overlay in Gtk3.6
    • Add padding around the playbuttons (they're currently cut off at the bottom)
    • Add fade-out when hiding > Impossible because transparency doesn't work
    • Make the GtkOverlay semi-transparent and rounded > Impossible because transparency doesn't work
  • Consider using GtkActions for a lot of functionality: http://whyareyoureadingthisurl.wordpress.com/2011/07/17/gtkaction-howto-and-why/
  • Current bugs
    • Closing the Preferences dialog spews a lot of warnings
    • Using the Save Playlist dialog works, but also shows lots and lots of warnings.
    • Switching to fullscreen-mode via the “f” key sometimes fails (shows video in windowed size, rest of the screen is blacked out) > trying to make it reproducible

General

  • Speed up subtitle-loading by/and jump/ing back 3sec after setting subtitles
  • Should we move the plugins to a section in the Preferences dialog (as previously suggested by Simon)?
  • Validate Plugin API
    • Make sure everything still works
    • Extend API to give plugins easy access to tools menu
    • Extend API to make it easier for plugins to save xfconf settings in parole/plugins/plugin-name

Documentation

  • Get on with it
