Key Limitations
- Lack of infrastructure for graphical editors.
- The HTML parser is too slow on most machines.
- HTTP is not supported, so hyperlinks can only be to local files.
- Crash recovery code only works with Ptolemy binaries.
- Lack of a preference manager. X window resources are used.
- Lack of a color manager.
- The undo in the text widgets is only one level deep.
- Several of the editors are not fully developed, containing
only rudimentary syntax-directed features.
- Editors are too closely allied with their top-level windows, so that
if you place multiple editors in a single window, you will have to carefully
design your menus to be able to interact with all subwindows.
- File completion in the file browser window only works if files
in the current directory.
Detailed Bug Descriptions
RCS mode bug
Unfortunately, if RCS does not necessarily put the version
control files in the RCS subdirectory. If the RCS
subdirectory does not exist, then the directory is not created
and the version control file is put in the current directory.
If I do the following to create a version control file in
the current directory
cxh@brahe 23% rm -rf RCS
cxh@brahe 24% chmod u+w log.itcl
cxh@brahe 25% ci -u log.itcl
log.itcl,v <-- log.itcl
enter description, terminated with single '.' or end of file:
NOTE: This is NOT the log message!
>> This is the description for log.itcl
>> .
initial revision: 1.1
done
cxh@brahe 26%
Then when I try to check out log.itcl from within tycho, I get
a message stating that the file is not checked in, and would I
like to do so. My guess is that tycho is looking for a RCS or
SCCS subdirectory, and not the log.itcl,v file. This is a
minor bug.
Tycho Console Class bug
The X Class of the tycho console is Console
. This means
if fvwm
is set so that windows named
Console
are sticky (present on all virtual screens), then
the Tycho console is sticky too. The xprop
command shows
that the Tycho console's class is Console
