Intro
-----
This is a ad-hoc list of what works and doesn't work in the g2
port of gnucash. The plan is to finish porting those parts of gnucash
that have already been started (i.e. new windowing system, account
tree, commodities tree, etc.), but not to port any additional features
unless absolutely required. The clist/ctree widgets *do* still exist
in gtk2 and can be used, even though they've been marked as deprecated
and will disappear in a future release. Its important to get this
release out the door and not stall it until all the deprecated
functionality has been removed.

Use of deprecated SAXv1 function getLineNumber
- Window size/position not being saved or used.
- Dialog window positions are now saved. Saving position of the
main window is in progress. Please annotate this file with any
windows whose positions are not saved but you think they should be.
- The main windows do not yet support saving position/size
information. (On my list - DRH)
- Open pages are no longer open after reopening file.
- Weird pango_layout_set_text "string not UTF-8" issues reported by Neil Williams:
- http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2005-March/012797.html
- http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2005-March/012824.html
- Register Core - mostly functional
- mouse wheel up/down events only work if mouse-focused on scroll bar / are
not passed from the sheet to the scroll.
- (fixed, notes) Completion has problems. It does complete when a
character is typed but it fails to select the inserted text. This means
that the next character typed is inserted instead of continuing to test
for completion
- This is better, but by hacking around GTK... it appears that both
2.4(.14) and 2.6(.8) disallow the editable's selection to be set in the
char-insert callback/handler. Instead, we register a one-shot
immediate callback for the idle loop to do the selection.
- doesn't remember custom check formats.
- duplicate-transaction dialog is not initialized with transaction number
- Reconcile
- Crash after initial value-prompting dialog:

- Reporting / Graphing [mostly functional]
- Menus added in reverse order.
- Probably a detail of gtk-ui-manager merging; should be controllable in
gnc-menu-extensions.c.
- Graphing working, with some known issue; see top
of src/gnome-utils/gnc-html-graph-gog.c for more detail.
- colors
- axis-label string rotation
- Known issue with height/width bug in libgtkhtml 3.3.2 (on FC3).
- When rendering, progress bar always says "Rendering 'Untitled' report...".
- warlord reports this was true in 1.8 as well.
- Importing
- HBCI - Transaction templates eventually need to be converted from a GTK_CLIST
to a GTK_TREE_VIEW. Currently working as a GtkClist.
- Notebook tabs
- When opening multiple report tabs, all reports get tab title of
first report. [FIXED]
- Account Tree tab title is unaffected by "Name of Account View" option.
- Also, changing that option doesn't affect dirty status of options
dialog. [ FIXED ]
- Budgeting
- Budget Report
- the default account selection isn't very reasonable, Inc & Exp
would be better
- sometimes negative numbers render on two lines in their table-cell
- Budget GUI
- default account filter doesn't take effect until options are
opened, should take effect as soon as view is opened
- it might be nice to disallow some of the more unusual recurrences
- better if budget list dialog allowed double click to open
- need help text
- should displaying zero values be optional?
- it'd be nice if there was a summary column at the far right
- Budget Engine
- Do budgets play nice with QSF?
- Still a lot of dead legacy code hanging around
- New Account Hierarchy - somewhat works
- Simply invoking, even if cancelled, trashes current book state?
- Sometimes crashes when loading account data.
- Main account selection layout is too (visually) compressed
- Should have two columns: left={category(80%) + detailed-description(20%)}, right={category-accounts(100%)}
- See 'relayout Hierarchy' in src/gnome/glade/account.glade.
- Account tree's only column (account name) is relatively thin, truncating
some titles.
- It seems that gnc_tree_view_add_text_column sets column-width based on
an example string, whereas in this use-case the best would be to set to
'0'(=autosize).
- Account Hierarchy Merge - BROKEN
- Bad integration with Account Hierarchy druid
- Static variables used for process/window state.
- Misc errors with no apparent cause
- (gnucash:27485): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_event: assertion `WIDGET_REALIZED_FOR_EVENT (widget, event)' failed
- (gnucash:27485): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_event: assertion `WIDGET_REALIZED_FOR_EVENT (widget, event)' failed
- Doesn't let you complete the conflict resolution process, thus you can never complete the druid.
- (jsled) actually, it just doesn't display the 1-conflict -> 0-conflict
transition in the UI correctly, but it does allow you to finish.
- conflict-resolution process/display issues.
- Backend
- price_lookup awaits a solution - as a query instead of a backend operation.
- Scheduled Transactions
- Since Last Run dialog spews console-crap on init, generally broken?
- SX Editor
- "Register Lines" preference not respected.
- When tabbing from memo to account on the second split with the same
name as the first, the account will be auto-populated with a GUID
(instead of an account name), but not a valid one.
- Template-register Cut/Copy/Paste not connected.
- Template-register View > {Basic, Auto-Split} options have no effect.
- Open SX Editor, close it; open Register Preferences, change "Draw
{horiz,vert} lines" => crash.
- Entering a value (e.g. '20.00') without entering an account or a memo for
the first split causes everything else entered so far to be reset when
tabbing to the second split.
- Font hard-coded (dense-cal), especially broken for non-ISO8859-1 locales.
- http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303180
========================================
ENHANCEMENTS
========================================
- New icons
- Add account.
- Register
- Report
- "Report options", especially, since it often confuses users.
- In-place editing
- Provide in-place editing where feasable. Eg. Editing the account code
or the account name, but not being able to re-parent the account. (Maybe
add DND support for this in long-term?)
- File Menu
- Rename "New Account Tree" to "Display Account Tree" as "New" gives the
impression that a creation of something will occur. PJK
- Find
- There's no way to edit/refine a search.
[There's no way to do so in 1.8, either...]
- Main Window
- Change Notebook tabs to include an 'x' to act as the "close tab" method,
and then remove the "Close" button from the toolbar. Then we can also
decide if we want to allow a user to 'close' the account tree.

# some manual cleanup of the results results in the list here:
error_info_free
error_info_print
- provided by error-info.[hc]
font_selector_get_pango
font_selector_get_type
font_selector_new
font_selector_set_from_pango
- used by gog-style.c:gog_style_editor.
- gog_styled_object_editor, however, is called from gog-{axis,label,legend,series}.
format_value
- seems straightforward, but depends on format logic.
gnm_app_display_dpi_get
- thin wrapper over configuration; should be easy to stub out.
gnm_app_get_pixbuf
- called by go_action_combo_color_new, which isn't called in lib...
gnm_font_find_closest_from_weight_slant
- depends on gnome print, but nicely seperable.
gnm_measure_string
- nicely seperable; depends on pango.
gnm_pixbuf_intelligent_scale
- nicely seperable; depends on GdkPixbuf.
gnm_plugin_get_dir_name
gnm_plugin_use_ref
gnm_plugin_use_unref
- split/plugin.[hc]; seems to wrap plugin_* stuff...
gnm_setup_label_atk
- seperable
gnm_widget_disable_focus
- seperable
gnumeric_button_new_with_stock_image
- looks seperable [being stolen from gtkedit]
gnumeric_load_pixbuf
- depends weakly on gnumeric configuration path.
go_nan
- text symbol
gui_image_file_select
- used to select [fill] image file by gog-style ... do we need the UI
elements of gog-style here?
