Wishlist

as we are in this mood, I'll write about my wishlist for DR:

Code:
- management of book metadata:
  . edit title, author, publisher, added date, pages
  . this is not so difficult for pdf files, as poppler lib can read them.
    The real problem is that UDS will revert the values

- tags:
  . custom tags: fav, mustread, work...
  . be able to tag a ebook (if too complex, can be an external app)
  . tag navigation
    . an entry on HOME, then an entry for each tag
  . this could make inbox-manager.lua hack obsolete, or maybe
    I could change "shortcut?" option by a "tag selection"

- other ebook formats: fb2, chm...
  . current port of FBReader and extensions scripts already do a good job
  . thumbnails: icon.lua

- programs
  . thumbnails: icon.lua
  . new entry in HOME

- HOME:
  . new entries (see above):
    . Programs
    . Tags
  . remove other entries for make room for above items?
    . candidates: News, Images, Personal Documents, Help

- General:
  . system info & process viewer/killer, accesible from ctb menu

- UDS:
  . DR1000-like uds for DR800, or better, and open-sourced uds!
  . FBReader-like page bar
The most important thing for me is the Tags system.
On regard of the "system info & process viewer/killer" I think I could translate some old lua code I wrote for the iLiad and a simple hack to popupmenu and sysd...
