nfop's Issues

Scan for urls and apply tags (make clickable)

Scan the loaded nfo for any urls (ftp/email/http(s)) and apply a tag.

Autoscroll

Implement autoscroll feature.
May require threading?

Slackbuild script

Write a slackbuild package script, and rewrite some of nfop.pl to allow path changes.
eg;
data/gui.* -> /usr/share/data/nfop/gui.{glade,xml}
nfop.pl -> /usr/bin/nfop

Add command line flag to "--help"

Should show simple usage.
Current available input is for filename only.

Implement settings

Use XDG config for saving user settings;

• bg colour
• fg colour
• font

Research ANSI colour palettes

Maybe create palette's for selected colour. Use tags/markup to set full multicolour per character or different shades of the same colour?

View > Statusbar (should be a toggle item)

Try to make this a checkbox/checkbutton of some kind.

Save window dimensions

Store last width/height to ~/.nfop

Find a way to allow negative line height.

Most fonts (excluding liberation mono) have a line height which causes space above/below each line.
Gtk2::TextView has "pixels above lines" setting, although by default it is zero, and cannot have a negative value.

Maybe use markup to set negative line height?

Add some text with NFO style when launched

Would show version/link etc.

Save visibility of statusbar to config

~/.nfop

statusbar=1
statusbar=0

Idea; Tree view pane (file listing)

Similar to windows program; ACiDView
eg; http://cdn.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/nfo2.jpg?69fac7

Would be toggled on/off like the nfop statusbar, listing folder heirarchy for quick navigation of NFO files.

Edit->Copy does nothing

implement this.

set_fg_colour() uses ugly hack prone to crashing

Currently uses random number (by chance) could be set twice resulting in a crash...
Each time the colour is changed, a new tag is created.

    my $tag = $buffer->create_tag(
        rand(10000)."_foreground", 
        foreground => $colour
    );

For instance, without random digits; if the user sets foreground to #ffffffffffff, and then sets it to #ffffffffffff again, nfop will crash due to the tag already existing.

Find a way to remove/modify/edit the existing tag in place and update the colour property instead of this mess! It's not a big deal however, as it's unlikely the user will change the colour more than a few times. Each time the app is launched, the tags are reset....

Implement foreground colour change

Currently modify_fg doesn't do anything, maybe apply tags to textview text?
