The new telnet server has really become nice. It's great to be able to connect more than just once. :-)
But I don't like the new commands: view set <n> display view 'n' view get return current view index view current return current view index Why bloat the interface when this can easily be done with the normal "set" and "get" commands? "view current" is not even consistent. It "get"s a simple value. This should be: "get /sim/view/current" or something like that. Comments in the telnet.cxx file leave me even more worried: * TODO: possible future commands: * panel visible 0|1 * panel height -> h, Retrieve panel height * panel width -> w, Retrieve panel width * panel xoffset -> x, Retrieve panel x offset * panel yoffset -> y, Retrieve panel y offset [and lots more] Please don't let that happen! Make this "get /sim/panel/visible" etc. There's no need for dozens of commands that do all just "set" and "get" properties. That's useless bloat and we'll lose consistency with the http interface. Don't re-invent the property system! The only thing that might make sense is: view next display next view view prev display prev view But I'd rather drop them, too, and make some "write only property": "set /sim/view/next true" would then always switch to the next view, while "get /sim/view/next" would always return false. m. :-( _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
