Comic Fetch - Bugs & To-do

[Main page] [Bugs & To-do] [Demonstration] [Supported comics] [History] [For Artists]

Bugs (in order of most-likely-to-get-squashed)

• Broken images appears as small files. They should be deleted automatically
• ComicFetch looks ugly when using 8bit color depth
• When canceling automatic check, the notify-window shouldn't be shown
• Percentage-digits cannot be read, because of the color
• Invoking browser, when using networkdrive => error
• Abort isn't perfect. Some activity still occur after aborting
• When trying to close the program while fetching, the program doesn't terminate properly
• Needs comctrl32.dll on Win95?
• Proxy does not work when checking for updates

To-Do (in order of most-likely-to-be-done)

• Add "New" to the filterlist in subscriptions
• "Check all" and "Uncheck all" in subscription window (suggested by Mike Allen)
• Timelimit on the program, allowing anybody to review it for a week or two
• Better support for modem-users. Check for connection before starting fetching
• "Download" should download program, not show homepage
• Icon indicating priority in Check for Updates-window
• Check for existence of allready downloaded images, when downloading
• Spinboxes look bad

Wishes (in order of I'd-really-like-this-and-just-might-implement-it)

• Make it possible for the artist to supply a RDF containing information about presentation, banners and special messages
• Make an online form, where the artist could have such an RDF created
• Check for last drawn strip in a given comic
• Userdefined HTML-page
• Sampling of comic (show 2 weeks from a given comic)
• PURL
• More fun
• Generate multiple pages instead of just one (max strips/page, max comics/page)
• Check for existence of images on server, when not downloading
• Width and Height in IMG, when fetching images
• Recommendations based on selected comics
• Statistics
  Total fetched, downloaded images, invocations, installtime, running time, mouseclicke, keypress, favorite comic, averages.
  Use Checksum, make "Comic Odometer:"
• Support for story-lines
