| Task | Title | Description | Next step | Progress | Bug |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #0 | #Search in text improvement | We should merge search in text and search in ZIM and have nicer searchbar & search button. | proposal | 10% | [1] |
| #1 | #Bad MacOSX Quit menu item | MacOSX Quit menu item in File menu is odd to see | realization | 0% | [2] |
| #2 | #Dead "adding content" link in the help | "Adding Content" paragraph does not exist in the Help page in English | realization | 0% | [3] |
| #3 | #Revamp the help page | The help page must be more complete, more sexy, with screenshots. It should also provide an easy way to download new content. | proposal | 0% | |
| #4 | #Download manager | For most of the user, this is too complicated to download separately the content. The download must be integrated in Kiwix itself | realization | 20% | |
| #5 | #Google-styled search result page | Displaying the results in the sidebar is not good. We should display the results like google in a tab. | realisation | 10% | |
| #6 | #Localization improvement | Kiwix has too few locales and it is too complicated to update them. | realisation | 30% | |
| #7 | #ESC to quit Fullscreen | This should be possible to press ESC to qui the fullscreen. | closed | 100% | |
| #8 | #User unfriendly index dialogbox | Change the invitation to index message to "This file does not include a search index. Creating one may take several minutes. Do you want to index your ZIM file now?". | closed | 100% | |
| #9 | #Search misses some articles | Some articles included in the Wikipedia Version 0.5 ZIM file I tested were not matched by searching and could only be viewed by clicking a link to them. | closed | 100% | |
| #10 | #Unnecessary doubleclick by suggestions | If a match is chosen from the pop-up search suggestions, it should probably go ahead and execute that search rather than waiting for the user to hit enter. | realization | 0% | |
| #11 | #Desktop File browser integration | ZIM file mime-type should be recognized as "application/x-zim", icon should be the kiwix one and double click on them should start kiwix and open the file. | realization | 30% | |
| #12 | #non-functional search icon in toolbar | Seems to be non-functional. | reprocase | 0% | |
| #13 | #Bad "transliteration" menuitem on OSX | realization | 0% | [4] | |
| #14 | #Unusual keyboard shortcuts on OSX | In the Mac version, the Keyboard shortcuts are not typical for a Mac application (normally the Command key is used rather than Control). Regardless, they do not actually work using either keys. | realization | 0% | |
| #15 | #History navigator | You can purge your history, but you can't view it. It would be nice to be able to browse through your history either from a menu or the Sidebar.. | discussion | 0% | |
| #16 | #Back button wrong behaviour | While it was indexing, I decided to try clicking some article links. This worked fine, although I was not able to return to the home page by using the back button. (Strangely this only happened the first time I left the home page. On subsequent attempts I was able to go back to the home page by clicking the back button.) | reprocase | 0% | |
| #16 | #Preferences dialog box | It might be nice to have a preferences pane where you could set things like "Always show the tab bar", "Remember browsing history", etc. | realization | 20% | |
| #16 | #Kiosk mode | It would also be cool to have a kiosk mode available in which the interface would be fullscreen unless a special keyboard command was issued. | discussion | 0% | |
| #16 | #DNS prefetching | although this isn't a user interface issue, it seems that Kiwix makes DNS requests on all the external links included in each Wikipedia article it loads (without clicking on them). So if I pull up World War II, for example, Kiwix might make a couple hundred DNS requests. This isn't bad for someone living in the US, but if you are in a remote area and don't have unlimited data for free, it could be an unexpected surprise, since Kiwix is supposed to be an "offline" reader. Just thought I would pass it along. | closed | 100% |
Search in text improvement
There is also a small bug: If the search term is not found, it returns an error saying "[JavaScript Application] The text you entered was not found." The "[JavaScript Application]" part should probably be removed or replaced. Ryan
Dead "adding content" link in the help
Revamp the help page
Download manager
Google-styled search result page
As previously discussed, Google-style search results would be a nice alternative to the current Sidebar implementation, especially if it could include a brief snippet from each article. Perhaps you could configure what type of search you prefer from a preferences menu. Ryan
Localization improvement
We will migration to translatewiki.net. We know how to make the migration, I still need to work on the migraation scripts, new templates and import scripts. Kelson 13:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
ESC to quit Fullscreen
User unfriendly index dialogbox
Search misses some articles
Unnecessary doubleclick by suggestions
Desktop File browser integration
Gnome done, OSX, KDE and Windows still to do. Kelson 14:12, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
