Hi everyone, today, a user complained about the poor state of the "Directory Tree" tab in Padre. A look to the bug tracking system confirmed what he/she said: There are plenty of issues with this feature. I marked all bugs that I saw with "directory tree", so that one can find me easily:
http://padre.perlide.org/trac/search?q=%22directory+tab%22&noquickjump=1&ticket=on I think we should improve that part of Padre a bit more, because in the current form it may actually drive away people from Padre - imagine how much you would trust a tool that does not even let you open a file when you double click on it (issue #982) ... So I urge everyone who has some time available to focus on this aspect of Padre and maybe fix a bug or two! As a start, I took care of one of the issues the user complained about: http://padre.perlide.org/trac/ticket/982 Here are some things that you can do to improve the state of the "Directory Tree" tab in Padre: - start using it in your daily activities, and report unknown issues (I am sure there are still some) that annoy you - roll up your sleeves and fix one of the defects listed here: http://padre.perlide.org/trac/search?q=%22directory+tab%22&noquickjump=1&ticket=on - help others to fix bugs by trying to reproduce the reports and finding out more details - help others to fix bugs by testing their solutions once they are commited to trunk. As some kind of "bounty", I promise to invite the most active contributor (within the next month) to those issues for a beer (or wine, tea, lemonade, whatever you drink) at the next community event where we both attend. I plan to attend FOSDem and CeBit next year, so there should be some opportunities to meet up ;-).
