Summary so far: (numbering is random)
1. show clip # in Clip Editor so easy shortcut assignment
(accepted - change already in master)
2. add min and max titlebar buttons for Reports to make hiding them temporarily easier
(accepted- change already in master and added it to Spellcheck Editor as well)
3. fix force_titlecase to work with multiple file search and replace
(accepted - fix pushed to master)
4. Regex Renamer - make Regex field have focus on launch
(accepted - change already in master)
5. fix Regex Renamer label truncation on some platforms
(accepted - fix already in master)
6. Add a Font Report
(not accepted - since you can easily use the All Files report along with the filter or sort the Type column by clicking on it to easily find all your fonts in that report.)
7. add tool like "Check Epub" from calibre with autofix
(not accepted - WellFormed Check already handles structural errors and has a cleaner error report via Validation, Mend will autofix these errors but as in calibre - autofixing may not be the right thing to do.
8. Add IDE syntax colouring for errors
(not accepted - latest calibre does NOT do this and there is no accurate way to highlight an error condition, nor is there a way to highlight errors of omission. Tested the latest calibre Check Epub with autofix and it lost complete paragraphs depending on error. Tested Sigil for error detection, Well Formed Check, epubcheck, and css validator, and I feel these are much better tools than allowing autofix without forcing a Checkpoint first.)
9. add session ID for plugins
(not accepted - no reasoning given why Sigil process ID was needed plus a way to generate a proper cache key can be done easily inside python - including the parent process id.)
10. autofix attribute order for old nook e-readers
(not accepted - against the xhtml and xml specs on attribute order and supporting old broken epub2 nook e-readers is not something for Sigil. Much better to discourage their continued use)
11. add name for char under cursor in status bar
(accepted after much trial and error - under test for negative editing speed impacts, this change is already in master, and improvements by BeckyEbook have already been added)
12. add live CSS panel
(not accepted - this functionality already exists in Preview's Inspector. FWIW, calibre is adding lots of data- attributes with line number info for every element to what they input to Preview behind the scenes in order to identify elements inside the DOM and uses javascript to do what the Inspector already does. These types of wholesale changes to what Preview is showing just add overhead with no benefit given Sigil's tag path approach.)
13. add way to get a complete list of words in an epub written to CSV
(accepted - added Save Selected to SpellcheckEditor, change already in master)
14. allow Classes Used Report to take you directly to that class in the CSS (just like the CSS Selector Report does now)
(accepted - change pushed to master)
15. Fix "extra find needed bug" when in html but searching all css files, js files, svg files, etc
(accepted, fixed pushed to master)
16. add copy to clipboard for entire selection in SpellcheckEditor
(accepted, change pushed to master).
17. make clipboard history dialog non-modal with auto refresh and min button
(accepted, change pushed to master)
18.make GetInfo reports non-modal and allow multiple reports generated at once (more similar to MacOS GetInfo)
(accepted, change pushed to master)
19. add Updating Validation Results message to main status bar
(accepted, change pushed to master)
